Bluedog I was hoping you come on here and provide some reason. Love Alabama's team and Tony Mitchell is a player. I also love their freshmen with Cooper Lacey and Randolph. Live in the Chicago area and you are 100% correct John Shurna might be the most underrated player in the country.
Two guys I really like who I didnt mention are Tim Hardaway JR kid just knows how to play the game. And the other Xavier Mark Lyons is really coming around for them.
I feel UConn and Xavier are the two best backcourts in the country.
Thanks...Alabama is young. Mitchell is the best player no one is talking about other then you and I. You saw glimpses last night of Mitchell's great athleticism. It is a very long season and AU has great upside because of the expected growth of their Freshman class. I think they will score a #3 seed in the Tourney. Assuming they do that team will be very dangerous. I have them as a Final 4 team (many will bash that 1).
I know you loved Xavier preseason and the back court. Lyons and Tu are beasts. Throw in Dezmine Wells (big time recruit) and you have a very special back court. Living in Chicago certainly provides you with a view of some the best high school hoops in the country. No question Hardaway Jr. and Lyons fall into that category of the under the radar baller (the 1's usually designated as 2nd tier) some of us love to root for.
It should be fun tonight watching the Florida back court go up against the Cuse zone. I am sky high on the Gator back court. You have to love Boatright, Bazz and Lamb. Over the long haul I agree UConn and Xavier back courts are top 3 adding in Florida. John Shurna is a great player.
Good Karma...
