Wisconsin loses 4 of their top 7 players (5 of 7 if Decker leaves). They have a so-so recruiting class coming in next season. MSU loses Dawson and Trice, but they add Eron Harris and have one of the better incoming recruiting classes. Michigan returns everyone (unless Caris goes pro) and adds the equivalent of three front court players. I'm not sure what OSU's roster looks like but they should be talented. Indiana has talent but Crean seems to be feeling the heat a bit. My early take is that Michigan and MSU will be the favorites. This will be the most experienced team JB has had in quite some time and I think they will take a big step forward.
Projected line up
Starters (when's the last time we had more upperclassmen than lowerclassmen in our top 6?)
5 - Doyle So.
4 - Irvin Jr.
3 - Dawkins So.
2 - Levert Sr.
1 - Walton Jr.
Bench
6) Spike Sr.
7) Donnal RS So.
8) Robinson RS So.
9) Chatman So.
10) Wilson RS Fr.
Note - I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson and Donnal switch positions but as of now Donnal is our only other 5.
Redshirts
MAAR - I thought he played really well last season but with Caris and Walton coming back I think he takes a redshirt year.
Wagner - Again I like his potential a lot but we have a lot of bodies at the 3/4 so I think we can give him the year to add weight and get accustomed to the college game.
