I can’t even imagine what being a college student hanging around campus with 19 year olds at 26 would be like.

By the time I was 26 I was at a point in life where I could not hang with 19 year olds. Way too different priorities, interests, topics of conversation… maybe you like the idea of talking about peoples majors lol

I have a 23 year old and 21 yesr old kid who are out of the house but live near by. They can't handle being around 18-19 year old kids.

Why am I wholly unimpressed with Purdue's projected starting 5. Top 2 seed on every site i've looked.

They have the best pg in the country, 2 stud bigs, and a great shooter on the wing. Why wouldn’t you like their lineup?

meh. Smith was, admittedly, impressive in his first year without Edey. I'm not a TKR guy and Loyer leaves much to be desired. I don't see much athleticism, rim protection or perimeter D in this starting 5. TKR gives me Dixon from Nova vibes, with less shooting.

Does anyone else besides Fanta think that Duke will hit lighting in a bottle two years in a row with freshman having to start? Flag was a once in a lifetime player.

I mean Zion was 5 or 6 years ago and arguably better.

Poll is pointless until the portal is closed. We still need some mature new bodies next year for me to feel any sense that we are NC caliber. Still too many concrete shoes on this roster unable to play real defense.

Goal is to get high seed in the East with 1st/2nd round games at Philly or Buffalo and Regionals in DC.

Games in Buffalo, I will be torn.

I went in 2004. I didn’t go in 2014. I went in 2022. Mixed bag for me.

15,000 women aged 19-23 at an SEC school, yeah I'm sure I could find something to talk about or at least feign interest.

They'll most likely have to be coming off the bench, I think there's a decent chance our starting 5 is set.

Then we need them off the bench.

What about Tarris, AK, Stew and Solo as 4/5 says we’ll be any better defensively?

Players improve and Silas is a great defender. Our defense was better at the end of the season.

Took a look through and dont see any teams that I would take over us with Alex back.... Top few were meh, I would love to play Louisville next year, they are super overrated imo. I actually really like the mix that arkansas appears to have for next year.. Saint johns is a good point guard away from having a sick team next year. I love those two 2 guards, neither of them can really run the point though and that frontcourt is gonna be scary. Kansas is another team that I think is gonna be much better, they have had a serious culture problem but that should be cleaned out and their freshman point is LEGIT, like i think he is gonna be as good as cooper flagg. I also cannot believe they left creighton off. I think they end up around a top 10 team by the time the season starts

I think rj Luis ends up at Louisville or Arkansas. I bet squid was actively recruiting him at the game.

Pretty normal? Grad students, MD students, students who took time off, students doing it part time... and so on.
Expand ...
Not an unfair point, but to be honest, when I was in grad school, I really wasn’t spending much time chilling around a campus. It was basically two full time jobs for me.

No sign of Creighton in this top 25, I don't know about that one. Seems like an oversight.

We finished KP 75 in defense. Thats about 65 places behind where we need to be to contend. One guy is unlikely to move the needle enough.

And about 45 places above where I would have put the team based on the eye test.

The defense can only improve.

For those who don't want to click on an ESPN article, St. John's at 9 and Creighton as one of the "next in line" rounds out the Big East

I know it was an awful gay reference. I got it the first time.

Good to know you’re actually a creep though

26 year olds and 20 year olds being interested in each other is creepy to you. You're a strange guy.

As to your first sentence that's clearly a you problem.
