Kendrix and Church are the real prizes at SF and post forward. Their continued development, and competent front court supporting cast, is the difference between a Thursday night team and a 20 win program. I know someone mentioned that there were a few new bigs coming in, but is it possible that Lusk runs a four guard line-up with Church?

This is if Church decides not to transfer.

Why would you think Church is leaving?

I don't necessarily think that he's leaving, but I've heard some rumors, nothing official or anything.

Given Rhodes goes 6'6-6'7, Kendrix 6'5, Williams 6'5-6'6, Johnson 6'7-6'8, yes you could easily see 4 perimeter players and Church on the floor some of the time. Johnson was a 16 ppg, 11 rbs guy at Frank Phillips but also shot 42 % from 3pt. I think the most interesting newcomer will be Rousseau. He's probably 5'10, but very skilled; a 2nd team All American. Don't think he'll sit , but don't want to see him and Miller on the court all the time together either; he's probably better than Miller though.

Lusk or no Lusk, I can't see Missouri State cracking the top 3. Which of WSU, UNI or ISU should they pass?

I'm not saying it can't happen. They seem less talented than those 3.

Not sure how you can look at MSU roster and think it's less talented than ISUR. The depth of MSU is pretty impressive, while ISUR literally only has 4 guys who they will be able to count on for anything.

Thanks! Look forward to learning about the Bears over the next 6 months.

Will depend on who we get with our remaining scholarships

Really?

ISUr: Lee, Wills, Hawkins, McIntosh...four starters better than MSU

MSU: Miller, Dixon, Kendrix, Church...Kreklow and Ruder provide MVC level depth at the 2. MSU has four guys they can count plus some extra minutes at the 2.

I will take WSU right now followed by UNI/ISUr followed by SIU/MSU/ISUb

Your forgetting 3 impact JC transfers and a 3 star point guard for MSU, plus a healthy Austin ruder. Like I said, superior depth for MSU compared to ISUR. McIntosh and Lee are better than anyone the bears have, but I'd take Miller, kendrix, Church and Dixon over Hawkins and Wills.
