The Utah State Aggies

Here's a look at the Utah State Aggies in 2013-14.

One of the usual rulers of the Western Athletic Conference roost, it will be fascinating to see how Coach Stew Morrill's guys adjust to the move to the Mountain West Conference.

One of the most important keys will be the consistency of center Jarred Shaw and how often he can win his positional battle each game.

Guard Preston Medlin is aces and will remain the top scorer and best talent for the Aggies.

Wing Spencer Butterfield is simply irrepressible -- a double-double of some sort waiting to happen, powered by sheer will and smarts.

Freshman forward Jalen Moore and guard JoJo McGlaston are the top prospects in the 2013 recruiting class but will still need adjustment time. McGlaston has physical talents never before seen in a USU guard but he'll need to learn to play in a very methodical system offensive system, one predicated on carrying out individual responsibility in running a called out play.

Another interesting key will be can Ben Clifford continue his quality contributions at the same level of his WAC tenure?

To each of USU's conference opponents who haven't been an opponent in The Spectrum, have fun.

No team can have the collective number of injuries that waylaid various Aggies last season, right? So here's predicting an upper division finish for Stew Morrill's squad.
