If Semi doesn't return ,I really hope that a possible 2 loss conference season next year doesn't equal second place.

Also, UCONN still has a a bunch of 4 star guys on their team and can win but they really need good team chemistry. They could have won more last year even with the injuries if the team gelled better. Obviously 3 transfers proves they had a locker room problem, not a talent one |

I do expect the league to be top heavy.
That said; UCF, Tulsa, Temple, Tulane, UCONN, ECU should all improve SMU, Memphis, Houston, USF will probably regress. UC & WSU should hold steady Reasons for each improvement/regression: UCF: gets older, defense gets better, adds versatile talent Tulsa: Gets older, Improves by developing a year longer Temple: Has talent, returns experienced PG Tulane: Dunleavy getting his team to play hard, should keep improving, best player back UCONN: should improve just based on getting Gilbert and Larrier back and last year was so bad, the bar isnt high ECU: Seemed to make strides at the end of season, returns best player. SMU: Loses 2 players at minimum and maybe loses the AAC player of the year to NBA, no depth at the 4 and 5, hard to top last season performance Memphis: Loses everyone on an already bad team, no good recruits, dumpster fire Houston: zero big man talent, Loses Dotson who was a stat stuffer, no depth, little talent USF Zero commits for incoming class, lost best players, hard to do worse than they did but they will find a way. UC: Returns 3 starters, Expects big contribution from freshman of the year, adds high scoring point guard transfer WSU loses no one. Would normally be an on the rise team but they upgraded in competition. |

Josh Carlton: 4 Star 6'10 Tyler Polley: 4 Star 6'9 They are going to have to start as Freshman unless Ollie lands a transfer so they will struggle to adapt. But Rarely does UCONN rely on its big men to do more than just rebound and Block shots |
