WKU's roster is up and it's scary.

I think 7th is fair...but I am still excited. Looking forward to the season.

My goodness how the mighty have fallen.

According to VerbalCommits.com WKU has, by far, the team with the highest star composite in C-USA followed by ODU, Rice, UTEP (all with over a 2.5 star composite) and our 2nd biggest rival (IMHO) UAB. MT is tied with FIU at the bottom as schools whose teams are composed entirely of 2 star players (which can be anything from a walk-on with very limited talent to a player with Potts' potential).

Realizing stars don't tell everything but regardless, I would expect we'll do well to finish 7th with the apparent talent discrepancy.

guys, we NEVER recruited well compared to others...basketball is more about the right players for your system. We will see what WKU will do, they haven't done anything in a decade. We may have a down year but no reason why we will stay there.
