Several players from the B1G need to decide tomorrow if their staying in the NBA Draft or coming back to school. Biggest names right now to keep an eye on are Amir Coffey and Isiah Roby. Indiana also has a few guys weighing decisions. Lamar Steven's could make Penn St a dangerous bottom half team in the B1G if he returns or if he leaves could send PSU into the bottom 4 of the conference.
Amir Coffey is the most interesting right now. If he comes back I could see Minnesota being a top 5 team in conference next year. Little Richard has brought in some nice transfers including a top quality true PG (what last years team really missed). With Coffey this team could be solid inside and out with plus defense and offense.
Isiah Roby is being mentioned as a guy that will go anywhere between late first to late second. If he comes back to Nebraska he could make Nebraska a tricky team next year instead of an easy win.
If Indiana gets all of their guys back they likely sit somewhere between 6th - 9th in the conference next year. If they lose a guy or two they could be NIT at best.
The overall strength of the conference could get fleshed out tomorrow. The B1G could be an absolute beast next year if most or all of these guys come back. Or we could be looking at a conference that drops off in quality around 7th or 8th place. On a side note still can't believe Poole, Iggy and our guy Cook are staying in. Very few draft boards have any of these guys even getting drafted. Michigan could have been a top 5 national team and Iowa could have been top 20 if these 3 came back.
