ISU Red looking at Thursday now that Johnny Hill has departed? Sure there appears to be some JUCO talent at guard, but with Brown, Carmichael, Ekey, and Hill the 'Birds were only 8-10 and barely made it out of the pillow fight. I have a hard time seeing them even match that with all the turnover and what appears to be not much replacing them. Of course I am admittedly biased, but trying to be objective here.

Will no doubt be tough. He was one that we all wanted to stay.

Rumor is he saw talent coming in and wanted to be assured his starting role and set minutes. At the very worst he was gonna be a big key reserve and still potentially a starter. Muller makes his guys earn the minutes and for some reason, Johnny had reason to believe his were going to be severely cut into.

We're hopeful that the incoming talent really is there but this wasn't one of the guys we wanted to be completely out of the mix.

Add in Wilkins plus Threloff, Upshaw, and Cousin. The Redbirds return Allen as the lone starter and Keane and Ziesloft…Both are quality back-ups, but they combined to average 33 minutes per game. A total of 60 mpg returns (all at guard).

Redbird coaching staff and fans awaiting the decision of MiKyle McIntosh, a 6'6 wing from Toronto.
When looking at who ISUred returns along with his preceding hype, he'd be the best guess for FOY.

Is it a decision and qualifying, or just a decision? I have heard he's quite the talent, but may not qualify to play anywhere next year.

First post on here, so I thought I would take a gander at next year's standings.

1. Wichita St- Too much talent
2.Indiana St

3. Northern Iowa
4. Bradley- could be as high as 3rd
5. Missouri St- maybe 4th

6. Evansville
7. Illinois St
8. Drake- Like the new coach there, think he'll get the most out of a poor roster
9. Loyola
10. SIU
