This guy averaged 10 points and 4 rebounds in New Mexico JUCO last year?
I get the complaints that Eayrs was a big fish in a small pond at NDSCS, but at least he put up 25 and 10.
I can see those #s if he was a wing player, but that's not what you need. You guys need some serious help on the boards.

Here's how I see it, Big D:
Totally agree with you on the experience factor. But it also appears that the Raiders have replaced 6-9, 240-pound Ronnie Thomas; 6-7, 235-pound Paul Darkwa; and 6-7, 225-pound Cory Cooperwood with 6-9, 220-pound A.J. Pacher; 6-7, 215-pound Cole Darling; and 6-7, 200-pound Armond Battle. In other words, a bunch of power forwards for a lot of small ones.
And you make a good point about Cory grabbing 6.5 rebounds per game last season against Milwaukee. But the Panthers presume to have more functional size than ever next season as Mitchell Carter (6-10, 275), Christian Wolf (6-9, 250) and Kyle Kelm (6-9, 230) join Anthony Hill (6-8, 235) along the front line. Our previous forward tandem was, shall we say, much more ground-bound.
As always, I have lots of respect for Wright State. It should be fun.

WSU has never had great (or good) post players, but have still strung together 4 consecutive 20 win seasons. Evans and Duggins may be the best returning backcourt in the league, so I think they'll be fine. The bigger question may be whether Donlon can fill the shoes of Brownell.

Point well taken, Eddie.
As for best "returning" backcourt? I think Butler would have an argument with Ronald Nored and Shelvin Mack, Green Bay would have a case with Rahmon Fletcher and Bryquis Perine, Cleveland State would be in the mix with Tre Harmon, Jeremy Montgomery and Norris Cole and even UIC could make an argument with Robo Kreps and Zavion Neely.

Cue Will Smith:
"Now THAT'S how you schedule! From now on, THAT'S HOW YOU SCHEDULE"
Of course, the second part of that would be directed at YSU, Loyola, etc.

I've got Wright State going 10-8 in conference and 17-13 overall in the regular season, pending the outcome of its BracketBusters matchup.

Miami (Ohio) subregional games in CBE came out 3 hours after he wrote it. IUPUI, Green Bay and San Diego State.
Wright State at Indiana must be new. I did not see that 6 weeks ago.

With 6-foot-11 center Keith Benson returning for his senior season, Oakland is better than at least three of the other above-mentioned schools on the Wright State schedule.

I would say that Oakland is better than all except for Richmond and Purdue.
