  • Next Year in the Valley

    Based on what we know about current players on the rosters, where do you think UNI will be picked to finish next year in the Valley rankings. I'm not sure it will be any better than our 6th place from this year.

    I'd say 8-9th. Hopefully we can pull a Drake or at least a semi Drake and surprise people.

      8th or 9th sounds about right to me.

          8th or 9th unfortunately. Unless Kerwin drives more, gets out of first gear, shoots more jumpers, he has Benny J potentional..

            5th-8th if our guard play doesn't improve.

            anywhere from 3rd-6th if Adam Koch continues his rapid maturation, Eglseder gets more aggressive, Dunham gets more consistent, and John Moran is half as good as PTTB says.

              I honestly think anywhere from 1st-4th.

              I think we would have been in that spot this year with any ball handling. We will have a healthy Carlton Reed all year, who I think will be out to prove something and have a monster year. Jordan just needs to stay healthy. Koch needs to continue improving. O'Rear will be vastly improved. Dunham and Montgomery are two guys that will be able to score off the bounce. Ahelegbe, Moran, and Farokmanesh will give this team three more point guards than we had this year.

              I think next year is incredibly, incredibly bright...

                The question was where do you think we will be picked to finish, not where do you think we will finish.

                  Dont lie, you enjoyed reading it. He has a point, whether hes talking preseason predictions or not

                    On that note- I will say 5th is where we fall in the preseason poll...

                      On paper, we are a pretty decent looking team with a large large front line as our strength. Too bad games weren't won on potential. I am nervously optimistic for next year.

                        Just off the top of my head, I could see the writers doing the following:

                        Creighton
                        Ill St
                        Drake
                        Bradley
                        SIU
                        Wichita St.
                        Ind St.
                        UNI
                        Mo St
                        Evansville

                        I'm trying to recall who has key players returning next year, coupled with their success this year. I may be off on seniors leaving, but just off the cuff...

                          I think that is a good list but I think we should be ahead of In. St. and WSU for sure.

                            It will be interesting to see what Drake does next year w/o Houston, Korver and Emmeneker.
