Lol I love this reply in the comments:
"Bulletproof"? Bad choice of words considering the program he plays for
I guess. But he was quoting Hurley when Dan called his team "bulletproof". Apparently that quote sunk in. Sears is basically saying DH talked the talk then walked the walk.Lol I love this reply in the comments:

Yeah he ain’t coming here. He’s a Jersey guy. UCONN is close enough. And they’re a blue blood now so whatever.Tony_JHawk said... (original post) Why in hell would he leave UConn for KU? The only way he leaves UConn is if he gets some itch to go to the NBA.

Duke just won a true televised exhibition (not secret scrimmage) against Arizona State by 56. Insanely dominant. They went 13/19 from 3 in a stretch in the 2nd half. Defense was suffocating.Kansas, Alabama, and Duke have 3 of the most on paper talent loaded rosters I can recall. Duke and Kansas learned from their mistakes from last year. Alabama has been building to this. We've got talent, but taking x's and o's out of it, we're not as loaded as that group.
But scheme and program infrastructure is going to put us in that conversation.
That link in you post is ridiculously fun to read.Found an interesting back and forth on the Kansas forum between two fans.

I’m not sure who we call when Self retires. God?
KU got smacked in an exhibition against Arkansas (without Dickinson) but Arkansas didn’t have Aidoo either.

Most likely. But they're top 75 in both KenPom and Torvik and #100 exactly in Miya in the pre-season, so they're not expected to be DePaul bad. Even still, it's hard to beat a 300th+ ranked team by 50, let alone a potential top 100 team. It's a testament to Duke's depth that they staved off any rubber-band effect.Arizona St is also terrible

Without being preseason #1 this team has the hugest target on them in years due to the back to back. Thats a great thing.You don't want to be preseason number 1. Too much pressure for the guys to try to maintain that ranking.
UNC in 09 was the last number 1 preseason team to win a title.
I'd much rather our guys have a chip on their shoulder to go out and prove everybody wrong.
You realize that your take makes no sense, right? Hypothetically speaking, if we were returning Cam, Clingan, to go with Alex, Has and Samson, we would expect to be voted #1 because of the returning players. Well, that's exactly what Alabama and Kansas have. They are returning more valuable assets than we are. That said, who gives a s---. What matters is the last poll, not the first.Uconn should be number 1 until we lose. I get that we lost A LOT of production but this degree of dominance should have some carryover in the rankings.
I hoping you aren't basing this by killing Arizona State in a pre-season game. I'm sill not sold on Scheyer as being a good coach. I need to see more even if the talent is best he has had since being the coach.Duke is gonna be a problem, they're built much differently than their previous 2 teams under Scheyer

Yeah but still until the coach proves he can coach I'm not picking them to be a real competitor to win it all. How about all those Kentucky teams with all those great rosters. Where did they get with Calipari as coach. He is a better coach than Scheyer is presently and he didn't really win or get to a lot of finals recently.I'm basing it off of actually looking at their roster
When has the last time Arizona State been relevant and it was still a exhibition? Too many quick takes on the BY for my tastes.Duke just won a true televised exhibition (not secret scrimmage) against Arizona State by 56. Insanely dominant.

1 National ChampionshipWhere did they get with Calipari as coach.
The start of his Kentucky tenure was incredible. 4 Final Fours in 6 years.1 National Championship
4 Final Fours
7 Elite Eights
8 Sweet Sixteens
Not what he should have done, especially after 2015, but, um, they were almost always really good and four Final Fours and a National Title is nothing to sneeze at.
Dan's brother is the coach. They won a game in the NCAA tournament the year before last.When has the last time Arizona State been relevant and it was still a exhibition? Too many quick takes on the BY for my tastes.
Like for example Jon Scheyer making the Elite 8 in his 2nd year as coach, with a roster significantly less talented than this year? That seems like a good example of a guy who can coachYeah but still until the coach proves he can coach I'm not picking them to be a real competitor to win it all.
