Right now, I think that's the 5 in no particular order, Drake/UNI/MSU/Bradley/SIU. But it's gonna be a year of curiosity with 3 new members, newer regimes at both ISU's etc.; someone unexpected probably makes a move. Lot of summer to navigate though still, rosters still in flux across most teams.
If Green comes back that obviously changes everything, but UNI is going to have to hit some transfer home runs to compete next year without him. Obviously too early to make any hard and fast claims with rosters being fluid, but right now I like Ind. St. as a dark horse to move up and surprise. Looks like 5 senior starters and improved size on the perimeter.
A core of Born, Heise and Michael Duax (Redshirted but would have played a ton last year without the COVID super seniors) is pretty solid and is in that top 5 group regardless of Green coming back.
