Here's a list of all the newcomers in the MVC in fall of 2009...a few more players might have been added late, but...
of these 37 players - whose national ranking by Hoopscooponline is noted...
extremely few - perhaps only 7 or 8 had any impact at all...
a full TWENTY of the 37 either never played at all or left after a couple years and did not finish their careers in the MVC.
Oddly Bradley had as much success with their 2009 class as anyone did....all four of Bradley's guys in that recruiting class finished out their entire careers at Bradley despite the coaching change, and three of them became valuable players & starters....
