Murfreesboro, TN (Future150) -- The Big Dance is finally here and while everyone would like to cut down the nets, there can only be one champion. That being said, there is always the chance that the next season could be better than the last. With that in mind, Future150 would like to introduce "The Next Step", a segment dedicated to breaking down each program's recruiting class as they bow out of the tournament; because theres' always next season.
MTSU captured the hearts of basketball fans across the country when they upset Michigan State on Friday. Unfortunately for the Blue Raiders, their Cinderella run ended on Sunday against Syracuse.
Three seniors graduate at the end of this year. Perrin Buford, Jaqwan Raymond and Darnell Harris are all moving on. Guys like Giddy Potts, JaCorey Williams, Reggie Upshaw, Aldonis Foote and Karl Gamble will form a core that will help the Blue Raiders battle with UAB at the top of the C-USA
Calvin Davis and Antwain Johnson will give Coach Davis a pair of JuCo guards to work with. Davion Thomas is the lone commit coming out of the high school ranks, and is a high energy big man who blocks shots and runs the floor very well.
Don't be surprised to hear Coach Davis' name linked to some bigger jobs this off-season. With a talented core returning, the Blue Raiders will be contenders in their conference regardless of who's roaming the sidelines.
