This could be a NBA type super team next year. CR7 back and healthy, Sorenson one of the most dominant posts in d3 for senior year, experienced guards with Chang and Henry, scorer with the new guy from Lakeland. There must be more I am missing, I am not an elite CCIW or Cardinal basketball mind, but WOW! Big expectations for them, and a lot of the top teams of CCIW for that matter.

Raridon actually wears #32, so technically it should be CR32. 😁

AndOne...do you anticipate that any of the transfer players will be playing Summer league ball for NC?  What about recent HS grads?  Thanks.

That's a pretty strong schedule, especially when we find out who's at the Emory tournament.

The Emory schedule lists only Illinois Wesleyan and Transy, so they may be looking for another team.

Emory returns three key players from a team that struggled at times last season.  Hard to know how they will look.  Coach Zimmerman certainly has more on the bench.  In the what to watch for category, they do have a freshmen coming in who scored 2,300 career points in high school and was seriously recruited by Tulane.

uhhh  the 5 schools IWU has scheduled in November had a combined record of  53-80 last year... Will they be that much stronger?

Each of the 5 schools scheduled to face IWU in November figures to be significantly stronger in 2017-2018. Just ask them.

TQ has reported on the IWU recruits, Gregory Sager on a few from NPU, and some other guy has commented on the NCC newbies. Those from Augie, Elmhurst, and Wheaton are described on their respective web sites. However, has anyone heard anything about any Carthage, Carroll, or Millikin recruits?

Carthage, Carroll, and Millikin recruit?  Who knew?!

Maybe I'm not calibrating my judgement to the high CCIW standards, but overall, it could much worse - we'll see a lot worse from good teams all over the country.

I only know of one from Carthage, and that's Brett Czerak from Aurora Central Catholic, who from what I've heard is a terrific scorer (finished his career as the school's all time leading scorer). Only reason I know that is because my brother also just graduated from ACC. Czerak is 6'1" and is listed as a small forward, but given the state of the game I imagine he'd probably profile more as a 2 than a 3 given that size, but I'm not sure. Dude can shoot, regardless.

39% is pretty low for anyone. Luckily Wash. U. and Chicago help in December and whomever is in the tourney.
