Some passing thoughts on the field. Hope GW gets to play at least one of the Pac-12 teams (Colorado State/Utah State) and one of Nevada/Tulsa. GW currently has the third highest Torvik rank (#83) in the field.

Utah State
Preseason Bart Torvik Rank: #60
Key Returners: Mason Falslev, Karson Templin
Key Transfers: Connor Turnbull (Evansville), AJ Bates (Louisiana Tech), Solomon Callaghan (Wright State), Will Hornsett (Northern Iowa), Collin Mulholland (Chattanooga)
Thoughts: Utah State is basically VCU of the west. Their last four coaches (Craig Smith, Ryan Odom, Danny Sprinkle, Jerrod Calhoun) spent three or fewer seasons in Logan before landing bigger jobs. The new man in charge, Ben Jacobson, was somewhat of a surprise hire given he had spent the last 20 years at Northern Iowa. The Panthers always had a solid floor under Jacobson, never finishing worse than 129th on KenPom. Expect the Aggies to play slow, be solid defensively, emphasize defensive rebounding but ignore offensive rebounding, and not foul much. This year's team (now in the Pac 12) should remain solid despite the coaching change as the Aggies bring back two key pieces, including Mountain West Player of the Year Mason Falslev. They also bring in four transfers from lower levels that averaged double figures.

Colorado State
Preseason Bart Torvik Rank: #80
Key Returners: Kyle Jorgensen, Carey Booth, Josh Pascarelli, Jase Butler, Rashaan Mbemba
Key Transfers: Justin Menard (Marist), Amondo Miller Jr. (D2 Lubbock Christian)
Thoughts: Unlike other teams in the field, CSU will be bringing back many players from last year (five of their top seven scorers). The Rams experienced the same problems GW did last year - very skilled offensively with some careless turnovers, but not good enough on defense. After a good shooting year from Josh Pascarelli, second year coach Ali Farokhmanesh poached from Ma

Anyone have reasonable estimates as to what we're paying each of our players?
