It does make sense. USU's basketball program is getting stronger while Weber's isn't. The WACK is a much stronger conference than the Big Sky. RPI is a generally accepted measure of strength in basketball. Last year the WACK was the 9th rated conference, the Big Sky the 24th rated conference. USU was 45th in RPI, Weber 143. The WACK had 6 teams with higher rpi's than the rpi of Weber. When USU was in the Big West, we may have been interested in some of the same players that you were. But now that we're in the WAC, we don't even look at the players that you sign. That's the reality of things. Even the Big West, who the Big Sky was even with a few years ago, has passed you by being the 16th rated conference according to rpi. Just because you won the weak Big Sky last year, don't let it go to your head. You lost to USU, BYU, and Utah last year with your championship team. There's no reason to assume that you'll win any of those games this year with a weaker team when Utah and USU will be much stronger.
But enough about what if's. Who have you got coming back? Who have you signed that is going to be an impact player? Who have you got on your roster that can handle Braydon Bell and Gary Wilkinson, both 6'9" and 240. One a JC all American, the other signed by Ohio State? Who do you have that can handle Jaycee Carroll? Who do you have that can handle Tai Wesley, Tyler Newbold, Pooh Williams? Who do you have that can even handle the 6'10" African kid Niang, or the 6'11" Vaitekus? Who do you have who can handle the lightening quick JC PG the Ags just signed? You have no one.
Who do you have who can handle Green, Deane, Nevill from Utah? Who do you have who can handle the JC transfers that Utah signed, Calasan at 6'8" and 240 and the Kepkay kid who led the nation in scoring? You have no one.
If you beat either USU or Utah, enjoy it, because it will be a HUGE upset.
