Fairly realistic ranking. An average coach and an inexperienced team. Hope the tougher non-conference schedule sets them up to better compete come conference time. Edited October 23, 2019 by geezer

I agree. Without a clue of what this team will look like, I would take 6th place and a spot in the SLC Tourney now.

This season could be a pleasant surprise or a complete train wreck!

The season starts on Nov. 5th, two weeks from today. Looking at the roster it's one of the bigger teams LU has had with 7 guys 6-6 and taller. Holmes, Atwood and Buster are the only proven scorers returning from last year so we'll see if this team can actually score any points.

I heard the freshmen are looking good. It will be great if a couple of them step up.

Who are the freshmen you’re referring to?

[lamarfan360]

I heard an interview of Marco Born by Harold Mann. He just said he had attended a few practices and "the freshman were looking good".

This is definitely one of the tallest LU teams in years only two players on the roster listed at under 6'4". One of those being Buster who proved he could score last year. With four freshmen listed on the roster my guess is Kopp and Nickerson may be the two most impressive, but all four have good potential.
