How Strong Could the MVC Be Next Year?

[tornado]

..of course injuries & unexpected departures could happen, but....

Loyola returns 3 starters - they lose Richardson, Ingram & Jackson - so they might drop off..but I don't think too much...they have a fairly deep bench returning, too

but 3 of the other top teams - SIU, Bradley and ISU return almost everyone so they ought to all be stronger, maybe much stronger-
So the MVC could have FOUR teams next year with the strengths of Loyola battling for the top of the Valley

The other teams from 6-10 all have substantial losses but hopefully they will find a way to improve and stay solid to keep the RPI up..

I think Bradley should be one of the top favorites. Good returnees plus some new faces to add to the mix

It will depend on the quality of the recruits. Thomas is going to be hard to replace.
