Future Rosters

[LetsGoRabbits]

I get what you are saying, but not one of the players on this year's roster is Baylor. Watching Creighton last night showed why he was valued by so many schools. Never say never, but it feels like we will get another year out of the underclassman on this year's roster. Next year, likely a different story as Zeke could very well be a hot item in the transfer portal.

NDSU are in a different boat, they are young, have talent, but Nelson is almost certain to be gone. He will be getting Baylor type offers. ORU are losing a lot, and Mills name seems to be floated for a number of jobs, including Texas Tech.

one thing about Baylor and i think this is very important!! if Creighton was not his first choice (and I DO NOT think it was!!) then he got very fortunate that kentucky, etc... did not give him what he thought he deserved.

because Creighton is the absolutely perfect situation for him. if you watch them on offense, it is like he never left brookings! also they have the same plan on rebounding, which continues to allow him to rack up boards. he is a good rebounder!!! i am NOT saying he is not!! but Kulkbrenner does the same thing that our posts do. put a body on the other teams big guys and keep them away from the rebound but going after the rebound themselves is not a priority!! they clear the bigs out and let the guards round up the ball. if baylor was beyond good as a rebounder he would get more O boards but he has never put up almost any!! Charley is a better offensive rebounder than baylor is

i am NOT trying to run Baylor down. he is a heck of a player and i wish he was still here and i am happy that he has had an excellent year in omaha!!! but that can be true while it is also true that he landed in a very very good spot for him with a coach who uses nearly identical schemes to what he has already played in for 3 years, and those schemes help to really highlight his strengths while doing a solid job of covering his weaknesses

i think more than anythiing it depends what the draft people tell him. i do not think it is automatic that he would go to another school if he decides to stay in college!! he is a ND kid, like Tucker is a SD kid, and he is obviously getting plenty of nba attention exactly where he is at. plus NDSU is not afraid to schedule tough in OOC and the summit will be a better league next year. NOT saying it will be the big east or something, but there were a LOT of young teams this year. i think ORU will still be solid. they will probably get at least one good transfer to go with mcbride and mwamba and phipps could be good with more time.

we obviously played a lot of young guys this year who will be more seasoned and ready next year. despite what others think about us being short of talent i think we will look quite a bit better next year. umkc had a bunch of young guys who look like they could be very good. und was pretty much led by a couple freshman.. if tevon smith can stay healthy next year, him and brunner and the 6'6 freshman guard mullins could be the best group of guards in the league

OH YEAH!!! Mills would be ecstatic in the big 12. the distance from KU to the conference tourney in KC is about the same distance that Max can shoot 3 pointers from)))))) go paul go!!! rock chalk jayhawk!!

One of the issues with this years team (not saying it’s Zeke) but seeing Baylor get paid made everyone think/wonder whether they could/should too. There are some guys on this team who are looking to see what might happen at the end of this season.

I hope we get at least one more season from Zeke. Most players like Baylor who transfer for more exposure/tougher competition often play 3 years and transfer for their senior season. Players who transfer earlier than that usually do so because of issues with a coach/playing time etc... Zeke definitely is in a system that allows him to showcase his offensive skills that he might not get in many other programs, especially at higher levels.

I heard Zeke gf is a volleyball player and he isnt going anywhere.

Baylor wasn’t going anywhere either last year. Things can change quick and I don’t think we can rest easy until the portal window closes…and that’s probably true for both mbb and fb.

Glad Obanor left if he stayed they would have probably been top 25 ranked all year.

Ndsu looks like the team to beat next year depending what oru loses.

as long as ORU does not land some more 1st team all conference types out of the portal again they should take a bit of a step back. they have mcbride and mwamba coming back to lead them next year and that will be a good start. if they pick up another 1st team type player that could make them the team to beat again, but losing Abmas alone is definitely a big loss and they are also losing 3 other players who contributed a lot to their previous ncaa run

guessing/ hoping oru cannot continue to hit a homerun in the portal lottery every time, should make the bison and the jacks the teams to beat. UST brings back first team all league Rhode and that will be a good place to start but lose cornerstones Miller and Bjorklund

i also think UMKC could be tough. they have 6 or 7 freshman who look like potential very good players and several contributed a lot already

but if nelson stays i think the bison are preseason favorites and even if they lose him, they will still have Morgan for two more years and all those young players gained a lot of experience this year. and i DEFINITELY dont count the jacks out. WK and Appel and Charley and Mims will be a good start even if Zeke was gone (i tend to think he will not be!!) and i think Mors shows improvements next year as well as the others in that class. you all know i could go on, but i will leave it there for now

That depends on if Grant Nelson sticks around

Same. If we lose Mayo or they lose Nelson would be a huge loss for both teams.

When you graduate/lose in one year the POY for the last two years your talent level is going to drop. What did you expect?

No doubt. It's asking a lot to fund our basketball program as we do and expect 25 win seasons every year.

Another thing about ORU.... They hit the jackpot in the portal, pulling in Vanover (Arkansas), Mwamba (UT Arlington), and Issac McBride (Vanderbuilt). McBride and Vanover are obviously stars, and Mwamba would start about anywhere else in the league. They also got a few minutes most games from Trey Phips (Oklahoma).

We need to upgrade talent. ORU was more talented than we were at EVERY position on the floor. Ofcourse they are more talented than everybody else in the summit league also. The fact is they are the only team that is built to win games in the big dance. Them representing the SL is a good thing.

The worm turns fast in CBB. Last season the Jacks ran the table, and the ORU team that went to the Sweet 16 didn't make it past the semi's. We lost two significant players from that team and it was ORU's turn this season. If they lose 4 or 5 players as rumored, and maybe their coach, they will not be anywhere close to the team they were this season.
