Blue Ribbon preview

Go get the digital version on Amazon. It has a detailed write-up on every DI team. You can keep it on your Cloud Reader and check it out wherever there's internet access. You can put it on your phone or iPad and read it at the game if you want.

Anyway, here's some highlights:

WCC predictions:
1 SMC, 2 GU, 3 BYU, 4 USF, 5 SCU, 6 LMU, 7 UP, 8 Pep, 9 USD

Pilot grades: Backcourt B+, Bench/Depth B, Frontcourt B-, Intangibles A- A little better than I'd thought they'd put us given everyone who graduated.

The preview sees the development of Barker and van der Mars up front as the biggest key to the Pilots' season after losing Knutson and Sikma. The guards are young and will need to keep improving.
