I, too, think that people are undervaluing Missouri State some. They will miss Prim for sure, but seem to have upgraded the losses of Black/Sharp and added a lot of other pieces otherwise. I dont think Mosley will be drafted and a return is looking more and more likely, so you're looking at:
KEY RETURNERS
Mosley
Clay
Patterson
Haney
TRANSFERS
Moore (Arkansas transfer, Top 100 4*, rarely does the league get these type of adds)
Ridgnal (UGA transfer, Juco all american)
Trimble (Akron/St Johns)
FRESHMEN
NJ Benson (highly touted big man, tons of solid Mid Major offers)
Johnathan Dunn (local kid, Texas Tech offer turned down, high motor guy that wanted to be a Bear)
Jalen Hampton (STL kid, another Prep school kid, freak athlete that can score)
Damien Mayo (Another prep school kid from Link, who is quickly becoming on the same elite level as Oak Hill, Montverde, etc, and Mayo was the captain of the bunch and seems like he can do a little bit of everything.)
Once again I put the talent level right up there with any team in the league. Dana will have the Bears a Top 3 team every year it seems. Im just not convinced that they're a 5th or 6th place type team like others are forecasting. I guess we'll see.
