Jerami Grant is gone. Really no place to go but down after playing on the greatest ACC team in history. Hope he at least got a 25-0 t-shirt..

Why the fuck is this Syracuse-Duke "rivalry" a thing? Duke should be pissed their name is being dragged through the mud like that. FFS we have more titles than Syracuse (national and conference)..

Good call.

Syracuse is the UNC of the northeast, minus the titles. Tons of journalist and media are alums. Also, they hang Helms banners.

I think UL-Duke is a better potential rivalry. Both elite programs and both better currently..

McGary is also only 21 now, which is what Hansbrough was as a freshman, Hansbrough was a 25 year old senior.

Harrison twins returning to UK means you can go ahead and pencil them in as preseason #1, and with very good reason this time.

The McGary and Hansdouche comparison is just horrible. The are very different players. I guess since they are white big men, then they are comparable

Hansdouche was a just a bull in the paint that was very reliable in getting his pts/rebounds. He dominated college playing against smaller players and being the beneficiary of horrible officiating that let him charge, travel, sit in the paint without consequences. McGary is actually skilled, but injury prone. McGary is a great passer and decent ball handler for his size.

I know I'll get trolled for this but this is exactly why the APR shit is a joke (well besides the fact that schools like UK have classes to bball players that end in March). UConn in 2012-13 was banned from the tournament. UConn for 2012-13 had a perfect 1000 APR.

There HAS to be a better way. Strip a team of scholarships, ban a coach without pay, etc. Banning kids who were in high school when the bad scores happen is the peak of NCAA stupidity.

Makes sense to me. I think you guys are looking solely at the players but this is the one sport where the coach has more influence on the result than the players. Talent matters, but some teams will just always end up with "talent" once they start winning games and your perceptions of the players change. Bennett and Dixon have had great defense for about a decade. Theres no reason to think that will drop off.

the other teams including Wisconsin Xavier Nova SDSU are all powers year after year for a reason...

two years ago was basic...then they added the furry stripe on the shorts. Not a fan of that feature, but it wasnt that noticeable. The black color throws off the color scheme of the uniform though. It could be way worse, but rarely do I look at Adidas uniforms and go "man, that looks sharp".

best way to do preseason rankings in hoops is to just rank the coaches first then shuffle everyone a little based on talent. Maybe cuse and fsu are too low but thats all about right.
