Mike McGrath is bringing in a good class at Chicago...

I believe Karras and Jackson are the headliners here.  I have heard Karras is a stud.  He had a Division I scholarship offer from University of Illinois-Chicago.  He is a SG with great size and can shoot the heck out of it.  Jackson, who had an offer from The Citadel, looks really talented and athletic...huge upside.

Jacobsen looks really good too.

I was curious today if Hakeem Harris, a player who has transferred three times in his career, was returning to NYU for the 2015-2016 season.  NYU has an updated roster, but Harris is no where to be found: http://www.gonyuathletics.com/roster.aspx?path=mbball&

I thought he had at least one more semester of eligibility, if not another year.

Definitely one of the best Division III players I have seen in real life.

If he is not returning, I hope he finds a team in which to complete his career.

He does have at least a year of eligibility left from what I was told last year... but I wouldn't necessarily trust a roster in mid-August as being the definition of whether a player is back or not. There are so many factors that could lead to no decision on his part at this point in the year. A roster and more particularly a game in November or even January will be the ultimate answer.

Thanks Dave!

I am definitely not suggesting his NYU career is over, but the fact that his name is missing from the roster may indicate that he is no longer on the team.

I had heard that the Washington University Men's Basketball team was hiring a new assistant, but I definitely did not expect to see Tyler Nading return to fill the void: http://bearsports.wustl.edu/sports/mbkb/2015-16/releases/20150903a2za3e

Nading was a super player.. really poured it on in the big games..  one of my favorite Wash U players

BUT... this year, Wash U... very much the least experienced group of returning players that I've ever seen for the bears.... no word on recruiting, I hope it went well
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

I hope so too.

Are you ready to predict any SLIAC triumphs?

Wash U plays SLIAC members Blackburn, Spalding, Webster, and Fontbonne. I suspect if any of those has a chance it would be Spalding since that is an away game for the Bears and Spalding is likely to be the best of those four teams. Fontbonne is also and away game, but only in the sense that it is not in the Wash U  gym  :). Let's hear what hopefan thinks.

Tough call....  experience at lower level vs higher level players lacking game time... unfortunately, I know who I would go for, but I don't think the SLIAC teams should be looking at Wash U as a mountain unable to be climbed this year.  Would love to see a SLIAC win or two....

Washington University is going to name Field House floor after Coach Edwards and Coach Fahey: http://bearsports.wustl.edu/general/2015-16/Edwards-FaheyCourt

I'm thinking Chicago enters 2015-16 as a top 15 caliber team.  The Maroons have a very talented nucleus...

G - Tyler Howard, 6-0 Jr
G - Jordan Smith, 6-3 Sr
F - Waller Perez, 6-5 Jr
F - Alex Voss, 6-5 Sr
F - Nate Brooks, 6-6 Sr

F - Collin Barthel, 6-8 So

Chicago took a summer trip to Australia -- that could be another big plus as they head into the season.

I have no idea what to make of Wash U.  I'm positive the Bears have a lot of talent on the roster we don't know much about yet, and that they will be good (because they always are), but they lost their 3 best players to graduation:

Matt Palucki (6-7 F) - 15.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg
Nick Burt (6-5 F) - 14.2 ppg, 7.3 rpg
David Fatoki (5-10 PG) - 13.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 7.6 apg

In my time following Washington University basketball, I have only seen one other season I would label a rebuilding season. 

In 2010, they graduated Cameron Smith, Zach Kelly, Sean Wallis, Aaron Thompson, Ross Kelley, but returned Caleb Knepper, Alex Toth, Spencer Gay the following season. 2011 saw the additions of Aboona and Cooney and the emergence of Rob Burnett.  The team did not make the postseason that year.

In 2015-2016, I believe we have two starters returning in Luke Silverman-Lloyd and Mitch Styczynski along with Matt Highsmith and Michael Bregman returning after a season ending injury last year.  Brandon Staffeil, I believe, averaged around 10 minutes per game.  Other players did see the court including Kevin Kucera who was our back-up point guard along with another senior who played limited minutes last season.  The name Michael Bregman may not currently stop traffic in Bloomington-Normal or Rock Island, but assuming that he is back, definitely a player to watch.

Washington University has posted the 2015-2016 roster: http://bearsports.wustl.edu/sports/mbkb/2015-16/roster

Possibly the most St. Louis area players (3) and least Illinois players (5) on the roster in the 9-10 years I have followed the team.
