Known about Savannah State for awhile...that is an awesome get. Beat Norfolk State out for the MEAC regular season last year and return virtually everyone.

Wow, agree with Brew, what a great get.  On www.valueaddbasketball.com I have them projected as the 150th best team next year - which would really be nice if they can crack top 150.  i also updated Cracked Sidewalks for the game, but as you can see below 11 juniors and seniors.  Arnold Louis' 2.3 Value Add is almost good enough to start for a BCS team (2.3), and their top 6 all look good enough to get some minutes on a BCS team.
