5 MVC players (Van Deest and Simons from Drake, Sims-Edwards from Bradley, Leonard from MSU and Teague from SIU) will be on a team that will play 5 games in Europe this month.

I think it's great that 5 of the 10 players on the team are from the MVC. Now if we can get the press to follow up with some exposure for this team, the MVC could do well with the recogition for the league.

If you follow Lowery on Twitter (I still don't know why I do) he has been giving updates on Teague's play...sounds like he's using that big body of his and playing pretty well.

Here is a little update. Here is Dyricus Sims-Edwards twitter page.
