8-1 Best in the BE so far, supposed to finish 3rd. Joke

Karaban has been solid - no surprise
Newton staying another year was big for this team- no surprise
Spencer is a solid transfer- his D is OK but will never be elite
Clingan is not close to a 1st All American right now. defensively maybe- he can’t score outside of 5ft like the other AA bigs. Stupid fouls and lack of natural scoring could be an issue. Love em but not seeing it this year.
Samson has been solid as a backup, nice surprise for sure.
Castle replacing Ball is going to make this team even better. Castle’s defense could be better.
Ball could be special as the 6th off the bench. Perfect role for him with his energy.
Diarra always scares me offensively
Hurley has been so much better controlled - last year at this time he would have had a technical in both the Kansas and NC game. He's come a long way..

This team has everything to repeat but certainly things they can improve on.

Hassan has been amazing. Will never worry about him when out there. He scores at critical times.

Newton is God.

All this Donovan bashing is a joke. Dan at last nights press conference said because of his injuries and time missed he’s “just a shell of himself” Sheesh!

Hassan has been great. However, he does dribble too much even bilas commented several times. Been great but needs to keep the ball moving

That Kolek move on Weaver...lol.

Not sure Hurley is more under control. Refs have given him a lot of latitude so far, unlike last year in the BE.

Castle's defense is really good.

Luckily he has 3 months to get back on track. Injury really set him back a lot more than originally thought. HIs haters and doubters are crazy. That kid has enormous potential and if he breaks out at some point into the force he can be it may be lights out for the rest of the country.
