I guess a lot of you have the CUSA runner up Marshall dead in the water since no one is mentioning them. Yes we lose 3 starters but we aren't completely void of talent, Jon Elmore, Terrence Thompson, CJ Burks, and Phil Bledsoe can all score from a drive to the basket to 3 point land. We also have 6'4 Wake Forest SG Rondale Watson eligible this year. If Dan gets one or both of the grad transfers and the NCAA rules on Bennett, then watch out.

My take is come next year Marshall will be much quicker to the basket and much improved defensively. As Dan said once CJ Burks is a lil bulldog, he will hound you till you make a mistake. Rondale Watson the WF transfer is from Lewisburg WV and was named to the all defense team all 4 years he attended Greenbrier East High School.

The Five Games I know of on Marshall's schedule:
at Morehead
Akron
at Ohio
EKU
UTC (Chattanooga)
at Toledo

Rumored Game
at South Bend IN -- Notre Dame

I'm sure we will be back in the Global Sports Invitational again most likely that will give us a mid high to high major to play and then most likely 2 RPI killers and a decent middle team.
