and Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's basketball.Here is one excerpt that caught my eyes as a poster suggests that Ferris State University is just a one-man team of Justin Keenan, a preseason national player of the year:
LSSU should be a middle of the road GLIAC team, Ferris is dangerous mostly due to Keenan, but he is just one guy. I could see them being a 3rd place team, with competitive games against the top 2 when they play. With Hillsdale I think they will be another middle of the road GLIAC team, I watched their game against GV last year online and it seemed that they lacked athletes, but were really good shooters behind the arc. Still, the main powers are GVSU and Findlay, and I am pretty excited about our team this year, though I hope we can get back ex-Wolverine K'Len Morris and Mike Pryz pretty soon against NKU and St. Josephs for the revenge game.I think this is an interesting post (not just for the fact that he/she has essentially given first and second place presumably to Findlay and Grand Valley) because the poster seems to think Ferris is just a one-man team (a misguided notion to say the least).
This year, in particular, the success of the Bulldogs is built on more than just Keenan's play (as improved as it is this season and as much as he will likely have an All-American season).
The additions of Jerrell Sanders, Kenny Brown, DeMarco Sanders and Brandyn Mungo have already or likely will pay off by the end of the season.
Returners like Dontae Molden and Daniel Sutherlin, in particular, have improved in the off season. Matt DeHart and Darien Gay remains solid, Lou Williams looks improved and this team in general looks improved.
Anyone believing the Bulldogs are a one-man team will be in for a rude awakening.
