Going to start posting other tidbits about other members, lots of changes this offseason, so I think this needed a thread. Main question, what teams will be the Favorites? Contenders? Pretenders? Surprisers?

Surprisers? Tennessee State and SIUE look to be really good right now. Still a couple of weeks of more exciting portaling for teams to position themselves.

Morehead signed a couple of great kids. They and TN State I believe helped themselves the most. Obviously, the return of the Wright brothers makes SIUE respectable. Lindenwood looks to be better as well.
There is still more time left...EIU will have to step it up quickly. They look like a lower end D2 at this moment. SEMO had some tough loses, but not sure how good there new players are.

The return of the Wright brothers alone will make them a force. Adding another shooter will help quite a bit too. After a hot start last season I was surprised on how quickly they faded...but we all know how balanced the OVC is. I imagine SIUE will be in the thick of things for next season.

Drew Cisse, 6-10, from UMSL is transferring to Western IL.
I remember him from the GLVC but I don't remember much about him.
I just remember the fact that it seemed like we could not beat UMSL for a few years...

He averaged 5 point,6 rebounds per game against D2 competition. He was 24% from the free throw line out of 41 attempts. Just foul him and it’s a win.

Saw Jordan Pickett play here in the metroeast area. He's headed to SIUE. Brother played at Mizzou for a few years, and then transferred to SLU. Good kid.

Ben was a 3year player in the OVC and was a first team OVC player 2 years ago when Belmont was in the OVC. Just goes to show we can produce pros from the OVC. He was drafted first round in NBA draft tonight.

Looks like the conference just picked up $750,000. Not sure why EKU thought they were too good to avoid paying the contract exit fee to start with. At least the ovc can take this money to secure financial stability.
