UConn Outside AP Top 25

Comes in at 27

I'm getting really sick of these voters constantly disrespecting us. They seriously think that a team with the preseason BE POY and multiple projected draft picks isn't worthy of being a top 25 team..?

Texas A&M was the first team outside the poll, followed by UConn, which appeared on 24 of 62 ballots.

Yes because we got bounced in the first round of the tournament the last two years. We’ve been disrespecting the brand tbh.

That has nothing to do with a 2022-2023 preseason poll

Honestly, given what we’ve lost and brought in: this is about where are supposed to be. I thought we would be somewhere between 22-25 but it’s not the end of the world.

You're very silly.

I mean I think we're gunna be good but there's entirely way too many question marks for us to be preseason ranked.
I think 25-40 is proper ranking for a team replacing as much as we're replacing and relying on relatively lesser known transfers and recruits to replace known veteran commodities like RJ Cole and Tyrese Martin.

 

[RipCity]

They’re 27th and that seems very fair to me. There’s a lot of potential throughout the roster, but Sanogo is the only proven commodity.

Don’t be. All accounts from donor attended practices are we are not that good right now ( except for Sanogo). And now with AJ out it could be a rough entry into season. I’m hearing the guard play is a bit lacking.

Good news is karaban looks special

Sounds about right, 24 would have been the highest I would have expected. A lot of unknowns, a hurt Jackson, and more talent shifting around than ever before in college leads to difficulty placing this team. Just take care of business and get to PK85 undefeated and we should be top 20

Well, when you get bounced in the first round, and you lose Cole, Martin, Whaley and Polley to graduation and have a bunch of transfers out, being a borderline Top-25 isn't exactly disrespectful.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I'll be more upset if the Final poll of the 2022-2023 season has the team at #27.

 

[REB1094]

Meh.

21 to end last year with 3 new starters and literally an entirely new bench. 3 transfers will get major minutes and we’re banking on major production from 2 sophomores and a RS freshman who we haven’t seen consistently good in games.

So it seems reasonable. I think a case could easily be made to have us anywhere from 20-25.

If our unknowns (transfers + Hawkins/Samson/Karaban) hit, this team could be 15 or better. But I understand not ranking them accordingly until you’ve seen the games.

I agree 27 isn't disrespectful, anything from 20-40 preseason is a guessing game. But saying we had a bunch of transfers out is telling half a story

 

[shizzle787]

Don’t be. All accounts from donor attended practices are we are not that good right now ( except for Sanogo). And now with AJ out it could be a rough entry into season. I’m hearing the guard play is a bit lacking.

I think Sanogo and Karaban are going to be our two best players this year.

I don't have a problem with it but that same logic should apply to Nova and other teams who lost their core. Nova lost their on court all everything leader in Gillespie and they don't have their other two best players in Moore and Samuels. Not to mention they lost one of the best coaches ever in college basketball.

Hurley blowing smoke about Hawkins being a first round draft pick at the end of the season? He just said it again a few days ago.

If we made the second/third round we’d be ranked in the preseason.

I mean that's just not true at all lmao

It’s true. We are not that good yet.
