Haas is big! And it looks like his stance is making him a few inches shorter than he is by spreading his legs a bit.

Who's the guy that is the 4th from the left? He's pretty thick and I'm drawing a blank on who that could be.
I dunno. It's hard to tell, but that seems to be the point (team focused instead of individually focused). Maybe it's Smotherman or Davis?
It's a creative idea. It makes you wonder who is who.

Is that Ray? You would think he would be more towards the center, but who knows. Very cool thought on team focused rather than individual focused.

I think you have it... and the other Smootherman/Davis was my other thought on with one might be Ray.
Update: I think it's Rapheal Davis. I think Basil Smotherman is the one that is the 5th from the far right.
I think Basil is on our right. It looks more like his head and neck. If so, Ray looks like a BEAST!
That was impressive nags! I think you have them all.
I also think 4 is Davis and 12 is Smotherman, but no way I could have created this list.
Also, if this isn't photoshopped in any way, I'm quite impressed with Kendall's off season (among others).

I'm excited to see Stephens play this year. My guess is that he'll be the Boiler that surprises most in a positive way.
I agree. I think he has shown flashes of being able to hit from all over the court. This year might be the water shed year for him. People point to our 3-pt % to say we don't have good shooting guards, and technically, they are right. However, Stephens has the potential to change that in a heartbeat. At the start of last year, opposing teams were scheming against him, and not AJ. It is possible if he stays healthy, that we will become a nightmare to scheme against with his outside dead-eye shooting.
Kendall is my pick for most improved.
He has that deadeye look about him where he doesn't get emotional, but you can see he cares.
It has to be burning him up inside to show what he can do.
Now that he is healthy and an upperclassmen, I see breakout year.
I hope Edwards is right there with him as well.
Edwards played remarkably well last year, so much so that I have to remind myself he was a freshman. He could also be much improved.
Going to be interesting.
I like Purdue's chances this year. MSU should be very good as always, but I have no doubt that this will be the best Boiler team since E'Twaun Moore and JuJuan Johnson were seniors.
Damn! Valentine is going after boys again. Going all PSU on you guys. You MSU folks need to get him a separate shower so he won't be so tempted. You know it is really not very PC to call a photo of teenaged boys "victims". Someone could get the wrong impression, or in your case, not so wrong?
That's what I was looking for! Thanks so much - making this my computer wallpaper NOW. Boiler Up!
No problem. I was just reposting the tweet from @BoilerBall. And like you, the first thing I did was set it as my desktop wallpaper. It looks amazing!
Davis does have a bodybuilder look to him now. If he can make his mid-range and perimeter jumpers consistently, he can have a special season. He seems to shoot better off-the-bounce than off-the-catch, but maybe he's improved the latter this offseason.
On a related note, new player profile photos are up on the roster page of the official site now:
