Will our men be ranked in preseason top 25 next year?

This was over on SP, I thought it would be good to discuss over here too.
I say Yes. Considering what we have coming back next year (essentially the whole team), and the #9 incoming recruiting class, I fully expect to be preseason top 25 next year. The recruits we are bringing in will hopefully strengthen our weakness- big men depth.

Look: I know I melt in the game threads, and in most other threads too, but here is the truth: I support each and every player, and coach for this university as long as they’re on our roster. All in all, I feel really good about next year.

But first things first, let’s take care of business in the NIT this year. Hail State!

As long as Peters doesnt do something crazy and returns- I think we will absolutely be ranked in the preseason

I have a fear of it.

Should we be? Yes.

Will we be? Probably not. We are pretty consistently underrated in football and basketball.

I am saying we will be around 22 or so preseason.

Possible

No.

That settles it then. We will not be ranked.

That’s one of the few things he’s ever said that’s been worth anything.

To me I think it shows that there are people out there that see we have everybody returning

Yep. That recruiting class is also helping. #9 according to 247. Still #4 in SEC though.
