Maybe this is every season but seems to me like there are some very productive players the last few seasons that need to be replaced this season across the conference. Be interesting to see who steps up.

As we all know much of the country, certainly including the Midwest, has been boiling under a stifling heat wave for much of summer. In conjunction with the possible ill effects of practicing/playing sports under such conditions, have heard at least one conference team has been having some practices at 11:00 PM. Presumably this will no longer be an option once classes start.

Part of it, I am sure, is the unknown of who will be throwing him the ball and how good they'll be (and how much time they'll have to throw). Wouldn't surprise me if he's an AA at season's end, but lots of variables in play for his stats.
