Official MVCfans.com Prediction - MVC Player of the Year

[Aargh]

The strategy with CU is to play physical and trade fouls. When Stutz, Durley, Lawson and Echinique foul out, WSU is left with Blair, Ellis, and Orukpe if needed. CU is left with the sounds of crickets in the Qwiet Center.

Who is the best post in the MVC? Lawson? big E, Stutz, Durley, Weems, Teague? Who am I missing?

Van Deest at Drake is going to be a good one. He had some excellent games last season as a freshman, and he has bulked up by 20-25 pounds (and grown an inch) since then. He's not the most athletic guy, but he's got great footwork and post moves, can block shots and has range out to the 3-point line.

He totally outplayed Stutz in the game I saw last year. I was very disappointed as I felt Stutz was better. Thanks for bringing me back to reality.

It's too early to say which of Stutz or Echenique will do the schooling. As a WSU fan, if I had to choose based on what I saw in the video of CU's scrimmage, Echenique has the talent to be the bigger force. But until they go head-to-head, I'm withholding judgement.

My preferred vote in this poll is for JT Durley. But since he's not an option, I picked Murry.

Echenique is really going to suprise a lot of people in the Valley this year. He will really make Stutz look like a high school kid when they go up aginst eachother this year. Im calling Echenique Valley MVP.

How is "Big E" gonna surprise anybody when already he has surpassed the combined hype of Matt Shaw and Gal Mekel put together?

Well if he's gonna make Stutz look like a high school kid, then I don't think anybody else in the Valley can stop him either. I'm calling it now. 18-0 this year for the BJ's.

No way Aargh, we have a 6'4" wing player that has experience playing the 5. And a couple of walkons that are tall.

Impossible. No mortal could generate that kind of hype.

But I will gladly take your prediction for the Jays conference record. I don't think any jay fans have gone that far yet....even the koolaid mixers.

Has anyone had an undefeated conference season?

I assume you're talking about the MVC here. The last MVC team to go undefeated in conference play was Bradley back in the mid-80s. SIU came very close earlier this decade, losing only the final conference game.

The crickets are named Wragge, McDermott and Runnels.

My concern is not with the posts, it is with our guards. I never thought I would say such a thing about a team of Altman recruits.

I have a player of the year question. Was there ever a Freshman as Player of the Year?
I think I can remember some transfers being selected.
