as the NBA hopefuls return to the nest.
Purdue: Moore and Johnson returning for their senior year.
Illini: McCamey and Davie returning for their senior year.
So in the end, only Evan Turner and Manny Harris are leaving early.
That is what I expected all along, so no shock..but it will mean that the usual suspects will be better than ever:
Purdue: Moore, Johnson and Hummell are about the best senior trio in the nation....FF worthy team.
OSU: Lighty,Lauderdale,Diebler will be a great senior core to build around with junior stud also returning...and a tremendous incoming class...FF worthy.
MSU: Lucas,Summers,Allen(if he sticks) another senior core crew...throw in Roe,supersubs, and a great incoming class....FF worthy.
These three teams aint going anywhere..
Illini will be improved with another senior trio in Tisdale,McCamey and Davis and incoming studs.
Minny loses Johnson, Carter,and maybe Cobb, but will return the core crew with Nolen and Joseph along with twin towers and soph forward.
Wisky loses Hughes and JaBo...big loss, but return Leuer and Taylor..nuff said.
NW returns everyone including Coble and newcomer Cobb.
Sad to say, it is going to be nearly impossible for the bottom 4 to break thru this group...Iowa,Michigan,IU and PSU are going to be battling for 8th.
