Tyrek Adams is 1 big reason the Dena will surprise in ’14.

So yeah, this the opener for the 2014 season. There will be another after spring/before passing tournament circuit and another one after that and then a final preseason one right before the season in August. But don’t hold me to any of that either.

5. St. Francis — Heavy graduation losses, but program reloads well.
