FYI, Athlon's has us picked as finishing 11th in the conference in front of Missou. I find this to be a little harsh. They also had us as the worst recruiting class in the conference. I honestly don't think we will finish any worse than where Waynie had us at last year. I think we'll finish on a borderline NCAA bid most likely the NIT.
To anybody that isn't a die-hard fan, ISU appears to be very weak and unknown right now. To those of use that know about the steals we were able to sign for this year, we look pretty darn good compared to where almost any other team would have been in the same situation. I think we'll probably surprise a few teams and have some growing pains against weaker opponents, especially early on. I would say we'll finish in the middle of the conference, although we could possibly finish as high as 4th with how I see the other teams doing.
They must still be watching film from our bigs jumping and moving their feet. Heck, Tags was worth at least two position upgrade just by his presence. Let me guess, Nebraska will finish last?
