Pre-Season Prognostication

[BlueSycamore]

Another meaningless pre-season ranking:

It does give you some idea of how your team is perceived in other parts of the country. They are only up to #109 but some of the teams listed lower than that are interesting.

I was suprised to see Drake that high TBH,

 

[BlueSycamore]

#116 Drake
#103 Missouri State

This is the range the Sycamores were picked in the past. Times change and I would expect us to be quite aways up the ladder this season? Both Drake & MO State will most likely be rated to be in the #6-#8 range in the Valley this season? I would guess none of the three Illinois teams make the 144 team list?

Illinois state has a promising frontcourt but doubtful...when I looked at it...I would guesstimate in that 60ish area

Drake has some good recruits coming in.

Drake has some good recruits coming in.

Rayvonte Rice isnt happy...and thus far with those recruits, they havent been very good. Good recruits or not, Phelps isnt a very good basketball coach thus far.

Wow. That prognosis was actually pretty dead-on....and that was back in July 2010.
