Arkansas State had an influx of talent that is hard to ignore. It’s probably not a pick many would make but we like what Bryan Hodgson has done in his first off season. Bringing in Freddy Hicks is the best player in the conference by our model. The coaching is the unknown. USM or JMU would probably be safer picks but then again it was only two years ago USM was 342nd in NET.
