Dukie V's top 40

Duke, Kentucky lead Vitale's top 40

"Grayson Allen should be the preseason player of the year."

16. Connecticut Huskies
Kevin Ollie will expect big things from Rodney Purvis. Amida Brimah has to stay healthy in the post. Transfer Terry Larrierfrom VCU is a nice addition.

16 sounds like one of the more generous rankings for us; either way can't wait for this season to get underway.

Duke and Kentucky tops his list. Who would have guessed. U to Dickie V.

Dick V is usually a little hotter on us than the average ESPN analyst. We should create a spectrum that shows how pro or anti-uconn all the ESPN employees are

As far as Duke and Kentucky go wouldn't it be refreshing to hear Dickie honestly say just one time that with the kind of elite players that these teams get year in and out they should be top ranked and there are no excuses if they don't perform well? He acts like everybody begins at the same starting line every year.

So he wants the tripmeister to be the preseason POY? Sorry, but that shouldn't even be playing.

I don't know, I like us better than MSU, Louisville, Arizona, and WV. But there's probably some teams behind us that will leap frog us, so I think 16 is just right. In the race, not in the spotlight, just where I want this team to be. Homerism that may be, so I try not prognosticate too much.

Anybody else not seeing the Michigan State hype?

Everyone else hates us according to this board

Everything I've seen has us #15-#20, which I think at the moment is just about right. Like I said - I think we have elite 8 potential with an outside run to gel and make a run at the Final Four. Getting out of the first weekend of the tournament would be a successful season to me. Next year I think we've got a legit shot to win the national title again...
