I have a question for you guys. Do you think SIU should change their school name like Southwest Mo State did do Missouri State? For recruiting purposes, I think names might matter to young recruits. I always want SIU to go up another level. Illinois A&M sounds goofy though.
I do not believe there is a viable option to change the name besides Salukis are one of a kind so emphasize that aspect
NO

Two changes..,
E to Edwardsville State
Make the "The" official (like The Ohio St U)
The Southern Illinois University

Updated power rankings hot off the press. Written while still dealing with the effects of the flu so.....just keep that in mind.

Part three of my five part series looking at all of the league's top players by class is now posted. Take a look at the Missouri Valley's top ten juniors/third-year players below! Two Salukis feature in the top six of this list!

My latest article features my take on the top ten seniors/fourth-year players in the league. But there are actually 21 guys featured total including five honorable mentions and six Belmont/Murray/UIC guys who would be in the top ten if they were in the MVC. Enjoy! Or don't!
Unfortunately, no Salukis on this list. But also maybe not unfortunately because your team is so young.

As we hit the (scheduled) midway point of the league season, I have a new batch of power rankings. I'll also take a look at who I think each team's second best player is. Yours was probably the easiest #2 player to pick.

The last of my five part series examining the top ten MVC men's hoops players by class. This list is for the super seniors. Mr. Coupet makes an appearance.

Good work, the lists have been fun to read
UIC's head men's basketball coach Luke Yaklich took the time to answer a few of my questions about the Flames' move to the Valley. Check it out below. It is a quick read!

I spoke to a fan of each of the incoming schools to get the dirt on why we should be excited their school is joining the league next year. Here is part one focusing on Murray State, featuring @RacerJoeD.
