RealGm's: Preseason Top 25 for 2013-14

[HuskyBballFan]

Everyone focuses so much on recruiting, so I guess it must be true that freshmen are better than seniors.

Did Kentucky not win with freshman in 2012? Did we not start three freshman in 2011? Did Michigan not start three freshman last night?

In this day and age, freshman are pretty good.

Sometimes. UK's didn't pan out this year. Yet Ben McLemore was great for Kansas. Anybody who thinks they can predict next season now is full of crap. End of story. It's hard enough even at the beginning of the season. That's why they play the games.

The guards they are bringing in are supposed to be the real deal. They still have Hancock, Blackshear, and (hopefully) Ware on the wings. They'll miss Dieng defensively but Behanan and Harrell are really good inside. Harrell's a stud, and he played 12 minutes last night.

Do you think Behanan might declare? Did he put up strong enough numbers in the tournament to make this possible?

I'm surprised nobody is talking about Behanen going pro, I would certainly think he'll look into it.

I would have to see Behanan's measurements. He's the classic undersized PF at around 6'6" 250 and he has pretty good athelticism and hops but not quite on the level of say Anthony Bennet and not as skilled. Pitino was saying that he's going to encourage all of his guys to enter their names in the draft and go through the process but he clearly doesn't realize that the rules have changed.

 

[Inyatkin]

Anthony Bennett was an all-but-guaranteed one-and-done guy before the season even started. I thought this was common knowledge, because I really don't follow national recruiting all that closely and I knew that.

Holy crap Nelson this list is a joke, I seriously hope you were kidding with this. Nobody can actually be this clueless.

Bennett is going to be a top-1o pick in the 2013 Draft. A four-year starter?????
