However, with Thompson, Comer, Graf, and Varidel returning their backcourt will be fine. It is in the frontcourt where I think they will be a lot better/deeper. 6-10 Ga Tech transfer Nate Hicks, 6-6 Marquette SF transfer Jamiel Jones, Jordan Neff 6-7 FR PF (Atlanta area) and 6-6 Logan Hovey Fr SF (Oviedo, Fl) along with Feiler 6-8, McKnight 6-9, Cy 6-9 and Livingston 6-9 will give them (at least on paper) a deep, talented and varied group. I believe they still have one 'ship left to give. I would assume a guard.

IMO, it will be FGCU, Mercer, Upstate and then everyone else playing for 4th in 2014.

BTW, MU's football field/athletic complex is impressive.

JU should showed fight through the year but fell flat late. They were the only other team in the tourney that beat Mercer. So it depends what your team is losing this year.

I do like Upstate but their coach is just not the right fit. He was throwing child like tantrums during the semi-final game. Then what really made me dislike him was when Torrey Craig was seriously injured and his status unknown, he continued his rant while everyone else in the building worried about Craig.

Thanks for the compliment on the stadium, can't wait to get football rolling. I need to get caught up on the other teams in the league.

Eddie Payne from USC Upstate is the ONLY reason that program is competitive. Also, his ranting and raving on the sidelines was because Torrey Craig was hurt. He was taking up for his injured player. Payne is one of the true class acts in college basketball and is beloved by his players and fellow coaches. I would dare anyone to find someone who would say a bad word about him.
