Early look at Big Ten

This is how I see things shaking out right now:

Tier 1
Michigan St.
Maryland

Tier 2
Indiana
Michigan
Purdue

Tier 3
Ohio St.
Wisconsin
Illinois
Iowa

Tier 4
Northwestern
Penn St.
Minnesota
Rutgers
Nebraska

Hail, I'm thinking this team is tier 1, in fact here is someone who thinks this team is Final Four material:

personally, I can't wait to see next years team play.

Tons of depth and potential in the upcoming season. The challenge to Coach Beilein is going to be to figure out the playing time and playing combinations puzzle.

Caleb Swanigan decommits from MSU. I drop them below Maryland now.

MGOBLUE, not taking credit away from that article, but it's kind of a Michigan fluff piece.

That's what I've been thinking too. Since Beilein's been at Michigan he's used pretty short rotations and smaller lineups. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to, what seems like, great depth and plenty of size.

Wow, I hadn't heard about Swanigan. That's very interesting.

Also, hard to bet against Bo Ryan not being in the top-4 since he always is.

Looks pretty good so far.

I've been very anti-Wisconsin all offseason. I can't believe how much some people were overrating them.
