Thanks!

I just can't understand half of these picks.

 

[doggydaddy]

I just can't understand half of these picks.

Which half?

 

[triaddukefan]

Which half?

The half that doesnt include Rutgers

 

[Coler]

The half that doesnt include Rutgers

Pretty much.

Funny, it's been 5 months since the season ended, but most of them looked fairly reasonable to me at first glance. However, numbers 23-25 do look unusual in various ways.

Yeah I thought so too.

I think Delaware & St John's are too high and Vandy too low, but other than that quite similar to this stellar prediction.

Actually, I'm also surprised that Rutgers is not included (and I am definitely not a fan of their tedious style of play). I definitely think they are at least a top 20 team with their great incoming class.

Pretty much.

More from Jim Fuller:

"No Huskies were on Lindy's preseason All-American first team although Bria Hartley and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis were named to the second team."

 

[ed4ourgirls]

I expect Tennessee to be a top 15 team. Delaware will be
ranked high because they will have a great W-L record, but
I would be surprised if they could beat Tennessee.

 

[triaddukefan]

The Lindy's all american team.


First team..... Griner, Del Donne, A Thomas, Diggins and Sims

Second Team. EW, Hartley, Lewis, Chiney O, and Mathies

Third Team. Gray, Foggie (vandy), Goodrich, Shoni Schimmel, and Destiny Williams.

 

[easttexastrash]

No Kansas? Eight teams from the Big 12.

 

[Wbbfan1]

I would have Chiney on the 1st team although I can understand why they have Thomas on 1st team.

 

[Vowelguy]

No Kansas? Eight teams from the Big 12.

Or 6.

How do they leave off the 2nd best center in all of college bball?

 

[EricLA]

Well it's that time of year. Gives people something to talk about. I echo the opinions that RU should be on that list and Tennessee should at least start the year in the top 20. And Kansas should be in there somewhere...

After all, Kansas pretty much ran Delaware off the court. Not that it was a blowout, but Del simply ran out of gas and neither team lost much of anyone to graduation.

I'd put Kansas at 15, Del at 18. And RU probably 17. Just my $.02...

The question with Kansas is whether you think they are the team that beat two top 25 teams in the tourney, or whether they're the team who barely made the tourney at all as an 11 seed. It's an interesting story to follow this year.

1. Baylor
2. UCONN

Exactly. Two monster teams. One other very talented team. Everyone else.

Lots of very interesting subplots. The main plot: Can anyone beat Baylor, or will they push the winning streak to 80 or so?

I think I actually agree with the first team.

Not sure about Mathies on the 2nd team.

Not sure about the 3rd team other than Gray. I like her.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lindy is still around? It's been 85 years since he flew across the Atlantic. He must be getting a little long in the tooth.

I'll be surprised if the Vols drop that low.
