New twist to the conference with the return of Oral Roberts. They are eligible for the conference tournament since the move is within D1. Omaha has one more year before they are eligible.

Wouldn't say this year is a new twist... they're going back to the format they had prior to last year of 8 teams. Last year was the new twist as #1 seed got a bye game with only 7 teams eligible.

Baseball America's pre-season take on the Summit League.

Team to Beat: Oral Roberts. From 1998 to 2012, the Golden Eagles were part of the Summit League, and now—after a stint in the Southland Conference—they’re back. Oral Roberts is well-positioned to make a run for the Summit League title, especially with Nebraska-Omaha still ineligible to compete in postseason. The Golden Eagles boast a veteran weekend rotation that features junior righthander Guillermo Trujillo (3-4, 3.11), sixth-year senior Kurt Giller (3-4, 4.61) and senior Jacob McDavid (1-1, 2.36). The Golden Eagles will miss SS/3B/C Jose Trevino (.304/.359/.491 with 10 home runs), but they return experience up the middle in second baseman Matt Brandy (.277/.389/.370) and Emmanuel Forcier (.276/.379/.356).

Player of the Year: Clayton Taylor, inf, Nebraska-Omaha. Taylor built on a strong freshman year with an even better sophomore campaign. Taylor batted .342/.421/.599 with nine home runs and a league-leading 48 RBIs, ranking second in the conference in hits (64), doubles (17) home runs and slugging percentage and first in total bases (112).

Pitcher of the Year: Adam Bray, rhp, South Dakota State. Bray went 5-7, 2.80 last year, leading the league with 103 innings. The senior righthander paired a league-leading 95 strikeouts with just 17 walks and allowed only one home run. Not overpowering, Bray can touch 90 mph with his fastball and throws an above-average curve.

Freshman of the Year: Tony Kjolsing, 3b, South Dakota State. Kjolsing will bat leadoff for the Jackrabbits. He provides speed at the top of the order, and despite his 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame, flashed power in the fall, hitting four home runs.

TOP FIVE PROSPECTS, 2015 DRAFT
1. Guillermo Trujillo, rhp Oral Roberts
2. Clayton Taylor, inf Nebraska-Omaha
3. Tyler Fox, rhp Nebraska-Omaha
4. Parker Trewin, lhp North Dakota State (7-3 , 2.57 ERA, 77 IP, 68 SO, 28 BB)
5. Zach Coppola, of South Dakota State

While they were gone, Oral Roberts had 3 players drafted in 2014:
3B Jose Trevino - 6th rd
RHP Jordan Romano - 10th rd
RHP Gavin Glanz - 23rd rd

In 2013 Oral Roberts had a 1st rd draft pick - RHP Alex Gonzalez (Rangers, $2,215,000 signing bonus)
and a SS drafted in the 27th rd - Nate Goro
Gonzalex reached AA last season with Frisco and had a 7-4 record as a starter, 2.70 ERA
It's good to have ORU back in the Summit League, sure doesn't hurt NDSU players getting scouted by MLB.

The only down side is the Bison hitters facing that kind of pitching........not saying they won't have success ..... just saying.
