2010 Big Ten bball
Now that the season is over for Michigan, how do you guys see the next season looking? I think Michigan has a chance at wining the league, but expect stiff competition from Sparty, Indy, Bucks, and Boilermakers.
Significant Seniors and Possible departures
Sparty: Suton, Walton
OSU: Turner (?), Mullens (?)
Minnesota: Abu-Shamala
Northwestern: Moore
Penn State: Cornley, Pringle, Morrissey
Illinois: Meacham, Frazier, Brock
Iowa: Tate
Indiana: Taber
Purdue: Calasan, Reid, Green, Riddell
Wisconsin: Landry, Gullikson, Krabbenhoft
Chances on a Big 10 title? put the odds somewhere round 7 to 1, too optimistic?
sparty-suton, walton and lucas gone aka down year(in msu terms)
osu-loosing turner and mullens and not bringing in good class til 2010
minn nw and psu i have no idea but frankly who cares they are still gunna be middle of the pack
illinois got young raw talent with decent class they will compete for bt crown
iowa and indy still gunna be bottom feeders one more year
purdue besides those three they are gunna loose at least one of johnson hummel and moore if not two
id say 7-1 isn't too optimistic but a bt crown might be one more year away bear zeigler comes morris zeigler harris sims and big c would be a force with LLP novak douglas mclimmans and vogrich coming off the bench i smell bt title 2010-2011
(harris and sims both have expressed intrest in staying through senior year)
Sims is a Junior this year, thus his senior year is next year...

oh i for some reason thought he red shirted in 06 making him a fourth year junior next year i just can't picture him with d harris sims abram horton and petway (i miss him people brag about jumping over vipers i think that fucker coulda jumped over a hummer had a cig and still finish)
BEWARE!!!
"bear zeigler comes morris zeigler"
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I can see Minnesota being really tough next year. Sampson was only a freshman last year and he already showed signs of dominating, and the main scorers will all be back.
Illinois was really young this year too. Hopefully Iowa or Indiana won't make a Michigan-level jump next year. At least MSU should come back to the pack a little bit.
The Big 10 will be as tough as it was this year, if not tougher. I think Michigan has as good of a chance as anyone else to win though.
They'll miss Suton for his rebounding and Walton for his defense.
...Michigan possibly winning the Big Ten title in basketball. If we continue to improve the way we have been, why the hell not? It will just feel like a dream if it actually happens.
Hey, maybe Jalen Rose will come back for his last year of eligibility ;) Then we'd really be sweet. God I worshipped him when I was 10-12 years old.
But seriously, I can't wait to see what Beilein can do with this team next year. Sparty's gonna throw a fit when we take them down...and I can't wait to mock them for it.
That was my first post/comment ever on this blog. I have been reading it for about a year and I love it. You guys do a great job! I'm way out here in Oregon, so it is nice to have a great blog like this to keep tabs on the Leaders and Best.
