Thats funny that this is the list I picked in the beginning.
I agree with your five will be the list, but the actual best players is
1.Nielson
2. Dixon
3. Chuha. Chuha could surprise and be way better. Top 3 really hard.
4.Jones
5. Braun

Ndir is ranked too low. I understand Sidy's health is a concern leading into this season. But I think those concerns are overplayed; and his athleticism and ability to score at all three levels will make him a serious candidate for WAC POTY this season.

RE: MMM Top 25 Returning Players
I will be utterly shocked if Braun is not number one. He has put up numbers since day one and plays for GCU who is getting all the early pub. I'm not saying he is or is not the best player. Just saying he will be number one on this list.

Where would you have Jones then? He is better than the 20 people listed so far. Jones can play for any team in the WAC, some of the players 6-25 cannot.

If Jones is not one of the top 5 then who else could it be? Personally, I do not think Jones should be rated this high either but he definitely should be in the top 25 somewhere. My personal top five would be:
5. Nick Dixon
4. Isaac Neilson
3. Daimyne Durham
2. Josh Braun
1. Eli Chuha

Personally I would put him in the top 10, but I just do not think that the author of these article will put him in the top 5. Just my feeling.

RE: MMM Top 25 Returning Players
Durham should certainly be in the top 5 even top 3. He deserves it. I agree almost exactly with ProfScotts order. Durham, Braun and Chuha are the clear tier 1 of WAC players imo.

I think the author, Greg Mitchell, will place Jones in the top 5. He may even place him in the top 3 (although I would strongly disagree with that). KenPom.com had Jones ranked 3rd (behind only Russell and Baker) in his final 2016-2017 player rankings so national writers seem to think highly of him.

Rank Player
1 Dewayne Russell, Grand Canyon (Sr)
2 Ian Baker, New Mexico St. (Sr)
3 Jemerrio Jones, New Mexico St. (Jr)
4 LaVell Boyd, UMKC (Sr)
5 Eli Chuha, New Mexico St. (So)

So does anyone have an inside connection with Mid-Major Madness that would let us know when the top 5 WAC returnees will be announced? Personally I am a bit tired of reading about Mitchell Robinson's revolving door in and out of Western Kentucky.

I check every Wednesday and nothing gets posted. I'm tempted to call the writer out of twitter for doing a lousy job of releasing the articles, but really he is not worth the time. Its almost been a month since the last one was released. Lists like these should not be done until mid September. Then lead it up to the start of backetball season. Then you know who is on roster.
