| Youngstown State senior guard Quin Humphrey (Ellenwood, Ga.) was named to the Horizon League's preseason all-conference first team, the league office announced on Thursday. Humphrey was a first-team All-Horizon League selection last season after leading the league by averaging 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. As a junior, he scored 538 points and grabbed 233 rebounds. He became the first Penguin since Reggie Kemp in 1989-90 to score more than 500 points and grab over 200 rebounds in the same year. Humphrey, who scored in double figures in 27 of 28 games, had the fourth-highest point total by a YSU player since YSU joined the Division I ranks in 1981-82. Joining Humphrey on the first team are Loyola guard Blake Schilb, Detroit guard Brandon Cotton, Wright State guard DaShaun Wood and UW-Green Bay guard Ryan Evanochko. Schilb was tabbed the conference's preseason player of the year. In the preseason team voting, Loyola is tabbed as the favorite while UW-Green Bay is second. Detroit is picked third, UIC is fourth, Wright State is tabbed fifth, Butler is sixth, defending-champion UW-Milwaukee is seventh, YSU is eighth and Cleveland State is picked ninth. The Penguins begin practice on Friday afternoon at the Beeghly Center. The first exhibition game is set for Nov. 4.
