I believe we need to start a letter writing campaign to make sure he is eligible this year. 

He does not look it, until you walk up next to him, but he is huge.  A man among boys. 

He also seems like a very nice young man.

Does anybody know anything about Will Keller? He as good size and appears to be a good shooter (or was in JuCo at least). Anybody know anything more?

I talked to him briefly at the SIU Basketball Camp.  He appears to be a very nice young man.  He is one very big young man, he looks like he lives in the weight room.   If someone told me he was a football player, I would have believed them .

That being said, William (another very nice young man) dwarfs him.   LOL

I feel like if William plays middle of the pack is out basement with a possible top 3 finish if coach Mullins is as good as I think he can be. I really feel like everyone is sleeping on Benson. I think he has a good chance of being all conference. I really applaud coach Mullins for putting together a solid team and actually creating some class balance. This team should be fun to watch this year!! Go Dawgs!!

There isn’t much established offensive firepower on this team and the MVC should be better/deeper than it’s been the past couple years.  Avoiding Thursday would be a very acceptable outcome for Mullins’ first year in my book. Won’t be easy to do, though.

It’s starting to resemble what DeVries put together  at Drake last season. I’m OK with that !

I think we have 4 double digit scorers that I know about in Cook, McGill, Benson and Suggs. I don't know enough about the rest to have any kind if prediction as to what they can do but I like the sound of the rest. Pair those guys with the defense I assume Coach Mullins will have them playing and I think we could be pretty tough by the time conference play rolls around. Maybe just wishful thinking but i can see it happening.

Of the four guys you mentioned, I believe Cook (10.5 ppg last year) is the only one to ever average double figures scoring at the D1 level, so yes, probably wishful thinking there. I’m sure some guys will step up with more opportunity but let’s not pretend like scoring isn’t a major question for next season.

Everything is a question at this point. We have 8 new players and a whole new coaching staff. Mark my words though Benson will be one of the best bigs in the conference. He is going to be a difference maker for this team. Suggs averaged 8.5 as a freshman in this league and has been facing power 5 opponents, McGill also averaged near double digits last year so no reason to think he can't up his average a point or 2.

Many here seem to have a higher opinion on Suggs scoring capabilities than I do. I just don't see that being his role with this group. In my opinion, the door is wide open for a surprise scoring cog such as a Domask or a Trent Brown.

I feel like Brown will redshirt.

Of course its possible, but if his ability to put the ball through the hole proves undeniable he'll play. It'll be interesting to see how things fall into place for sure.

In My Opinion, none of these recruits came  here to Red Shirt. They came to play.

Yeah I don't think many player commit somewhere planning to redshirt. It just happens.
