Jerry Wainwright is an unknown even to dedicated college basketball fans, but the head coach of Richmond is one of the most underrated leaders in the nation. He gets the best out of his players who haven't been nearly as talented as those on some of the other A-10 teams the last couple of years. Last season, the Spiders almost knocked off Wisconsin in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, but expecting the team to reach the Big Dance again may be asking too much considering that no returning player averaged more than 5.4 ppg a year ago. Sophomore Daon Merritt will run the point, and he showed some flashes of brilliance as a rookie along with stretches of inconsistency. Jamaal Scott and Courtney Nelson should provide some scoring from the backcourt as well. Up front, 6-11 junior Kevin Steenberge and a bunch of young players will carry the load. Keep an eye on Jarhon Giddings and Monty Sanders, two talented rookie forwards who could crack the starting lineup sooner rather than later.
