Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5339965, member: 1268"] Duke is hard to predict, as Scheyer does less with more a lot. Their upside is going to be with freshmen and two sophomores that played somewhat sparingly last year, all blue chip. Their upside will be whether Cam Boozer is Banchero good. Early word out of their camp is Sarr is having a tough time. I sense youth will get in the way here are it’s proven this is an old man’s sport. Vegas has them third, in front of us. Purdue will be very good, high floor team that has a ceiling because of athleticism shortages. I do think they are set up to disappoint, as they’ll have a ton of expectations and no dominant player like Edey to bail them out. Houston lost their lead guard/scorer and 28 year old dawg of a big. They did bring in possibly the best class of Sampson’s career this year to go along with the three key returners. I kinda see Purdue, Houston and UConn as 1A group. 3 top coaches in hoops along with core returners. Then there are about 8-9 teams in the 1B group that can make a run depending on how they develop. (Duke, UM, UF, StJ, Ark, BYU, UK, Ville). I need to see how StJ operates without a PG this year before I can profile them. They had two last year and offensively challenged. This poll is grain of salt. Anyone that watched Kansas disappoint two years ago knew the that team was set up to have the same issues last year. It’s a lazy poll. [/QUOTE]
