151. Illinois State (MVC #7)     Last year: 24-10 (#81)     TPP Back: 49.3%     Recruiting: #95
     Analysis: Last year's team is a thing of the past with three key players gone, though Osiris Eldridge (12.4 TPP/G) is back and recruiting is good enough to keep the Redbirds winning.
152. Georgia State (Colonial #8)     Last year: 12-20 (#232)     TPP Back: 68.0%     Recruiting: #79
     Analysis: Georgia State should be a much improved team due to the return of Joe Dukes (11.9 TPP/G), most of the reserves, and blue chip recruit Rashanti Harris (C 6-9 230), who joins the team in December.
153. Campbell (Atl Sun #3)     Last year: 14-16 (#243)     TPP Back: 86.6%     Recruiting: #326
     Analysis: Campbell won't improve enough to win the Atlantic Sun but they may come close, as they return all five starters including star Jonathan Rodriguez (15.6 ppg, 8.3 rebounds).
154. Southern Illinois (MVC #8)     Last year: 13-18 (#147)     TPP Back: 49.6%     Recruiting: #138
     Analysis: The Salukis go from bad to worse losing half their production. But top player Kevin Dillard is back and Iowa transfer Tony Freeman gains eligibility, which should prevent too big a fall.
155. Boise State (WAC #9)     Last year: 19-13 (#137)     TPP Back: 66.8%     Recruiting: #161
     Analysis: Four starters return for the Broncos but top scorer and rebounder Mark Sanchez (14.2 TPP/G) departs, leaving a big hole in production. The rest of the WAC could leave them behind.
156. Tex. San Antonio (Southland #3)     Last year: 19-13 (#159)     TPP Back: 73.5%     Recruiting: #195
     Analysis: Two starters are gone: Joey Shank, who was only 7th most productive player, and Travis Gabbidon, who was #1. The five in-between are back and could improve the team's standing in the Southland.
157. Cal St. Fullerton (Big West #3)     Last year: 15-17 (#216)     TPP Back: 62.9%     Recruiting: #91
     Analysis: Fullerton State loses huge scorer Josh Akognon (23.9 ppg) but returns four other starters and could improve with two transfers and a couple of decent recruits.

159. Appalachian St.  (Southern #3)     Last year: 13-18 (#249)     TPP Back: 89.6%     Recruiting: #329
