Previewing next years MVC

[unifight789]

Geno for sure. Mosers still a year away and meh probably not for marty.

[rlh04d]

Porter Moser, Geno Ford and Marty Simmons have to be on the hot seat right?

Marty seems to get a lot of leeway based on his history with the school and the fact that Evansville fans don't have high expectations.

[pocket aces]

Just clarifying on Evansville........David Howard was a RS freshman this year who saw minutes. He will not be an addition for next year.

........and their biggest weakness by far is coaching.

Evansville has two of the better players in the Valley returning and I still would bet they don't rise into the top half of the Valley.

If the Aces blow their one scholarship, and Villanova transfer Mislav Brzoja isn't as good as some people think he is, you might be very right.

Teddy Hawkins will have 4 years to complete his play 4 years of eligibility, so he should be listed as a Fr.

While all of the above is true…

Eitel played < 11 minutes per contest; therefore I did not include him as a key loss.

Burnett played < 8 minutes; therefore not a key reserve.
Bell = scrub; therefore not a key reserve.

I did go ahead and include ALL incoming players, as it is difficult to discern who will be a contributor.

Likewise, for WSU, I did not include Wessell as a key reserve. I did include Coleby as a key loss since he started 19 games.

Understandable about Eitel. And the others that's why I took the word key out of it LOL
