Seems to be the first one I've seen us in at #22. Interesting that they have Tulsa in there too.

too too soon. A nice thought having 3 AAC teams listed.

Way early for this kind of speculation but I would currently have us in the 25-30 range. This would jump to 10-15 if we get Gibbs.

Always fun to these preseason rankings move around. I agree with the other posters if/once Sterling commits I would expect every major preseason poll to have us solidly in the top 20. I'm on pins and needles with Gibbs right now
along with the rest of us. God I want next season to start already.

Has dook ever had a pre-season ranking (any poll) outside the top 10? Kansas always seem to appear up there as well.

To their credit, they are always top ten to end the season too. Not so much for UNC recently.​

the starting five is as good as any in the country. Now if we get gibbs, the bench gets bolstered with star guard adams. Need to see this team on the floor asap.

Top 25 of what?

I'd rather not start the season on any top ten list. Unless we are a returning top five team, being on any top 25 list has been the kiss of death.

Earn it.

We need someone to score the ball. We were the 257th best school (pts/game) - I'll rip my hair out if we're under 65 a game again.

Scoring should be up with 30 second shot clock and addition of Miller alone. Often times last year we were playing 3 on 5 offensively because of lack of scoring options but Adams, Purvis, Hamilton, Miller can seemingly all create for themselves and score. Amida needs to work on his low post game to improve his ability to create for himself - which I believe he will this summer as he adds strength and polishes up his low post game.

The addition of Miller certainly helps but every school in the country will be scoring more because of the new shot clock, not just us.

Rankings from the single worst sports site on the internet combined with the single worst 'writer'. I think the word for that is synergy.
