  • Who are the league's best freshmen?

    Bradley has three freshmen, one of whom I would rank among the league's best, Jaquan Johnson, Timoty van der Knaap and Gus Rugaard.
    Jaquan is averaging 5 ppg (5.7 in league play), but is a solid PG, excellent defender and 2nd in the league in steals.
    Belmont's Sam Orme is averaging 8.6 ppg (7.5 in league play), and Drew Scharnowski is averaging 5.6 ppg
    Missouri State's Zaxton King is averaging 9.9 ppg on a fairly high volume of shots for an 0-7 squad in the MVC
    UNI's Will Hornseth is averaging 5.3 ppg
    ISU's Jack Daugherty is averaging 7.5 ppg
    Valpo's All Wright is a starter averaging 10.7 ppg, Justus McNair 5.6 ppg
    Evansville's Gabe Pozzato was averaging 15.4 ppg but went out with injury a month ago and has only played in one MVC game
    Indiana State's Bruno Alocen is averaging 6.7 ppg but only 4.3 ppg in league play.

    So those are the best - nobody else close to 5 ppg & deserving of mention....unless I missed someone...

    I think the top 5, given their importance to the team's success and whether they stepped it up in league play,
    would be...
    Sam Orme, Zaxton King, All Wright, Jack Daugherty and Jaquan Jackson.
    Pozatto might have gotten on the list, replacing King, except he simply hasn't played enough in league play.

    I know he doesn't play very much but I like Rugaard.

      Pozatto would have been a shoe-in if he hadn't gotten injured. He is still Evansville's leading scorer, and was averaging 15.4 ppg. Only 3 players in the league are averaging more. Hopefully, his injury isn't season-ending.

        nothing confirmed, but there is talk that he may play tomorrow or next Wednesday

          Please tell me this was an intentional typo since Dave Snell said his name as this at least three times on the InSU broadcast. If so, WELL DONE!
          Go Braves!

            Maybe the best question is high many will still be in the MVC next year, especially if any make an MVC all league team.
