Going under the assumption that the HL is going to add 3 teams to replace Butler, who do you think we will invite?

Someone who wants the HL to since to the bottom of D1. Must be a Butler fan.

I have a good feeling about this. These three schools would be a huge "get" for the Horizon League.

With the CAA and C-USA losing there top teams the HL would be able to challenge for a top 10 spot if we are able to add Oakland, Robert Morris and Murry State.

If we could have anyone off that list I would go with Bradley, Belmont, and Murray State. Belmont and Murray State have been really good lately. Bradley is rebuilding, but they have a great fanbase and have a great history of success. It also would give us another series in Illinois which would help our recruiting there.

I don't see Belmont coming unless we grab both M-State teams. Yes, I think Belmont would stay in the OVC if we brought only Murray State to the Horizon.

I doubt Belmont gives a crap about Morehead State

Those are my top 3 although I like Belmont & 1 other, eventually, to make this a 2, 7 team division league.

Me too, especially Belmont and Bradley

I doubt they do either. But if we bring in just Murray State, they've got no one but Murray anywhere near them.

I could see the HL adding 3 schools initially and a few schools later. I like Oakland, Robert Morris and Murray state initially. I could see us adding Belmont and Evansville later. Evansville is on the southern border of Indiana which would work really well for both Murray State and Belmont.
