Athlon - Preseason Projections


ORUalum

Recommended Posts

I doubt it shakes out this way. Both Dakota schools are losing quite a bit from last season.

I'll be stunned if that's the way things play out in the standings.

Looking forward to seeing this roster in action - lots of questions, and lots of potential answers.

I'll put it this way - all those teams picked for the upper division are bound to beat each other up a little bit, and their records will be very similar to what I think will be an at least decent ORU squad. 

There may not be much separation between 3rd and 7th place, maybe a game or two in the W-L column.  I fully expect ORU to be right in that mix, in ANY year, and contending for the top two seeds in most of those seasons.

If not, the question that has to be asked is this:  why isn't ORU keeping pace with the leaders of this league?

Did Omaha have a really good recruiting class?

They are losing 42.4 PPG from last season

The guy-in-his-mom's-basement who is behind most of the preseason stuff we have seen so far is from Omaha, so there you go.

Maybe that rank is deserved after our debacle last season, but I just cannot be happy with a world where ORU is a middle of the pack Summit league team.  Anything less than top three to me is just unacceptable.  I hope we prove them all wrong. #makeorugreatagain
