Preseason Ranking for next season

[Huskybass]

With a core of Bazz, Boat, Daniels, and Calhoun returning, I am thinking top 15.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Don't forget about Nolan. I really liked his poise on the court and think he could be a solid contributor next season. He had a pretty good offensive handle, was in position for rebounds, and didn't leave his feet on pump fakes. I think he is going to be a real nice 4 year player.

Nice pick up. I think Nolan is a great kid with a super attitude. He deserved to be part of the returning group that could contribute with hard work.

Elbow Room in WHC is some chili I look forward to having again soon. Pretty good stuff.

With Adams announcing he's leaving, UConn just moved ahead of Pitt.

Nice update.

Top 10 to start the season and we stay in the top 5 after we beat B.C. and Indiana at the Garden!!

I want to be a 4 seed in the West. 99, 04 & 2011 we were 1, 2, & 3 seeds in the West. Give me a 4 in the west in 2014!

Or the east and play the regionals at msg!!

 

[HuskyHawk]

won't uofl still be with us next year for bb?

Yes, and likely as defending champs, barring an upset. We should be ranked, probably in the high teens to 20s. If we are in the receiving votes category, one early strong win will bump us up, as it did with MSU this year (briefly). The real keys to the team are Daniels and Calhoun. Both looked much better late in the season. If we have a great season, it's because Boatright is the 4th best player on the team, and Bazz and Daniels are are a close call for best player.

UCONN is ranked in the TOP 10 at the start of the season

Easily #1 in the country. After all this is UConn

 

[upstater]

We didn't get to see how good we might be because Napier, Giffey and Calhoun all got hurt at about the time Daniels picked up let's game.

I'm going to assume all players come back playing better AND we now have 25 fouls to give in the frontcourt (Brimah, Facey, Wolf, Olander and Nolan).

Obviously a lot depends on who declares for the draft and who does not, but off the top of my head I think Louisville, New Mexico, UNC and Colorado are returning basically everyone. I know Siva is a SR, but I think he is the only one.

What does Smith gain from staying? He already can score 25-30, steal and dish. Not much to gain.

#12

Hopefully no top 25........give them a chip - I'm good with that

All mocks I have seen have him listed as a 2nd rounder.......in 2014.

If he's not considered a potential 1st round pick, why leave?

Or the east and play the regionals at msg!!

As long as we win coming out of the east, I'm 1000% on board! Would love to get to MSG and watch! I live in LA now (moving back home soon) and missed when they played in Anaheim in 2011 against SDSU and Arizona...can't miss something like that again if they end up at MSG.
