I predict 15-12 overall

12-10 in the league

middle of the pack

The freshmen are going to have to be players 2-3 of them between redshirts and trues

Sub-.500. Probably a few games worse than we finished this year in conference play.

Might as well get this thing started, as I'm already looking forward to this next "cycle" for the program. We're coming out of probably the most successful cycle in program history, which may seem weird to say because we didn't make an Elite 8 like we have twice before.

When you look at next year and trying to project rotation players, it's going to be a young group at this point. Kenny Byers, Nick Dufault and Braedan Hanson will be juniors and the veterans of the group. Grant Kramer played well down the stretch and will probably be in the rotation again as a sophomore. Jake Phipps, Brian Dayman and Kaden Evans all redshirted this year and will compete for playing time.

Then there's the incoming class. Right now we have five committed, but I'm guessing a few more will be coming before the season, whether it's more high schoolers or a transfer. A few will probably get thrown into the rotation right away, but most will likely redshirt next year. Early favorites to play right away would probably be Cliff McCray and Sam Schwartz, since we'll need a lead guard to come from somewhere. I could see Logan Benson play immediately, as he has the toughness and the type of game that could earn his way into a role.

Looking forward to watching this group develop!
