I hear ya.
Sometimes a few of those MVC football playing schools make rumblings about FBS football en masse. A possible scenario would have 6 MVC schools that may or may not include the Shockers start a new league and invite at least 8 FBS schools. A mixture of the best of the MVC, MAC West and SBC West. A Central Time Zone conference that would leap frog the SBC remnants, the MAC remnants, and CUSA.
Don't think a few people haven't toyed with this idea.
It was my understanding that if C. Davis could get himself academically eligible, that he has the ability to make an impact his freshman year. If it wasn't for his grades, I would wager that he would have received better offers than he currently holds.
I'm pretty high on the Plaisance kid. He is the son of a coach and hopefully he can dominate like his sister did at LSU.
I do agree with everyone about our guard play. It has to improve. It's crazy that Marlin has been able to get skillful big guys but he compliment them with decent guard play. Jay Wright does have a good chance to develop into a good PG.
Having seen Davis play this year, I would disagree with your assessment of him. There is always a chance he could become eligible, right now he is not. Plaisance has a chance to develop according to them, I will take their evaluation on him. If you are high on him, its because you have heard the same things. None of us have seen him play this year, because he redshirted. I evaluate talent just like football recruits, offers from similar programs/mid-majors. You sign some athletes as development projects, other to come in right away. Washington, Stove, Wright, Walker, Plaisance all had decent offers.
I think the key to improving next season may be how much of a contribution the two guys who redshirted this past season are able to make. We know we recruited fairly well last year. If the two guys mentioned earlier help us, it will end up being a very good class. I agree with CajunT in that in order for the program to consistently challenge for the NCAA or NIT, we need good recruiting classes every year.
Congrats to their Head Coach Charlie Weiss on the win.
So how did Evansville do in the next round? Boomering this thread.
Evansville will meet Northern Arizona for the 2015 CIT Tournament Championship after both teams pulled out impressive wins on Tuesday night.
D.J. Balentine dropped 28 points for to help Evansville to a 13-point win over UT-Martin, while Adam Wing scored 16 points of his own and Blake Simmons added 13 to lift the Purple Aces to their 23rd win of the season. The Aces will host the Lumberjacks in the title game and will be seeking their first title of any kind since they've been a Division I team, dating back to their last Division II title in 1971.
The game wasnt close most of the time. I had it on for a little while in the 2nd half and Evansville was up by more than 20. A 13 point loss almost flatters UT Martin.
Just ended up being a tough draw for us
