West Virginia
Testing draft waters: Joe Alexander
Result: It's pretty simple: if Alexander returns, the Mountaineers have a shot to compete for the Big East title, and who knows, maybe a run for the 2009 Final Four in Detroit. Alexander would have a shot to be a first-team All-American if he comes back. But he's got the athletic and scoring abilities to convince at least one team to take him high enough. If he's gone -- and Alex Ruoff, Da'Sean Butler and Joe Mazzulla are left without a go-to guy like Alexander -- the Mountaineers would slide back a few spots in the Big East and out of the national title chase. The incoming recruiting class, led by power forward Kevin Jones, is certainly talented enough to keep West Virginia in the mix in the Big East.
