Feel with UND Brekke would start over Traylor, but can't argue with the rest of the starters.
ReplyDeleteI agree, thanks for that! Not sure how I forgot Brekke... they will be loaded with experience!
ReplyDeleteFor the Hornets I think Tiffin will start over Quigley. Actually I hope anyone starts instead of Quigley. I think one of the new recruits will start over Demps as well. Just complete guesses though, I have no clue or inside info to support any of my comments.
ReplyDeleteGood analysis. I think you're giving way too much credit to the returning players. The Big Sky always has newcomers play significant roles. ISU, for example, signed 8 players and you have none of them starting. I think that's highly unlikely. Just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right about that.. in fact, I am sure of it. Just so hard to project who might break through and start!
ReplyDeleteJon,
ReplyDeleteI know this is touchy, but isn't DeSheilds and Gregory both JR's? I could be wrong. Heaven's it happens all the time in fact. NICE JOB though. I agree that Brekke is the better bet at UND, but you know them far better than I do. So I defer to your expertise on the Fighting Sioux.
Tal
I think Terrell Brown will be a starter in Bozeman. Just my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteTal, you are right on about Gregory/DeShields, brain cramp on my part. Thank you for pointing that out!
ReplyDeleteAnon, I think Brown/Coleman is about a 50/50 bet... both guys will get tons of playing time and I think could be starting at different times of the year.
I'd be surprised if Preh, Ezenwa - and possibly even Hatchett - are starters at ISU. I think Magot, Bradley, and even freshman Smith will be in the mix to start.
