I think Arky is overrated thus far. Creighton returns 3 guys from a 9 seed and gets good mid major transfers and now top 5? Naw
I didn't say Creighton would be top 5. I said Houston and Arky are in some T5s and Creighton will be loaded. Creighton will probably begin the season between 5-10.
Agreed, Manek was that floor space guy and that's real hard to replace. The ACC also looks a touch better going into next year than it was last year.
If UK can get 3pt shooting out of a FR and the dude from Iowa that was hurt they will be really good.
Could be! Looking forward to seeing how the roster shapes out. Trying not to set expectations too high.
Have not seen that transfer from Ill St, or S. Illinois whatever it was. Is he efficient from 3? Y'all might be adding more players this summer too right?
No, becuse the teams that knock the BB's down a peg will be strong too.
He was 39% this past season on 6 attempts per game. Overall I expect the combo of Fredrick/Reeves to be better than Grady/Mintz. Cal is at 10 scholarship players right now with the addition of Thiero and he might just be content to roll with that. They really could use another true PG to back up Wheeler though. Wouldn't mind seeing another wing and big either, but doubt it happens. Will probably go into the season with 3 unused scholarships.
That's pretty typical of Cal. He will usually only take 10 or 11 scholarship guys. The only time since he's been at UK that he utilized all 13 was this past season, and that included Fredrick who was injured before the season started and Sharpe who didn't get to campus until the 2nd semester and also, obviously, didn't play. So, essentially he only had 11.
Unless the returning guys show improvement in 3 point shooting, I think I’d want to add at least one more shooter. You don’t necessarily need a team of long range guys with the beast post game you’ll have, but I would question if there is enough. But I guess some of that depends on how good the freshmen are.He was 39% this past season on 6 attempts per game. Overall I expect the combo of Fredrick/Reeves to be better than Grady/Mintz.

I think he just likes typing the word blueblood because it triggers people.
I'm yearning for Dick.
Pretty much. Obanor is the only significant player back. But, we have a top 25 recruiting class and the #1 transfer class. Adams will have the most talented team (on paper) in Texas Tech history. I'd bet on him to make something special out of it.
Blue bloods dominating doesn't sound like a monster year for the game overall. It sounds more like a systemic failure thanks to the new garbage transfer portal and NIL shenanigans, and more boring college football "good ole boys club" bullshit.
I am pessimistic like you EvilMonkey.
You said the game is a "systematic failure thanks to the new...." It's been a systematic failure your entire life, there isn't a new here. Status quo, at worst for you. No change.
Lol, I think you're taking some things out of context, but let me be clear about one thing. NIL, and its ties with the current transfer portal setup, is f***ing trash and needs to go away, and I much rather prefer any point in time before the NCAA made the mistake of saying "here's NIL, do with it what you may, I wash my hands of it and take zero responsibility for what's to come."

It's always been corrupt. Status quo.Lol, I think you're taking some things out of context, but let me be clear about one thing.

So no, that's not status quo and that IS something new, and it can get f***ed and I'll kindly ask anyone that wants to tell me just to accept that this is just the way things are now and that we should just shrug our shoulders and be like oh well there's nothing that can be done anymore, to get f***ed as well, and step aside and let the non-incompetent adults fix this broken situation for the high school and college athletes, that was made by incompetent adults who ultimately caved into the kids that kept demanding and crying for ice cream and presents...............
Hope that helps going forward.
P.S. As an Iowa fan, I'll continue to support the idea that my school will (continue to) do things the right way........which is by not embracing the rule changes (and telling them to get f***ed, if and when at all possible
I'd rather go back to the time where programs got in trouble for paying players/cheating to win. Seemed more fair........you seem to think otherwise. Sorry its not gonna work out the way you want it to, because the real adults are gonna step in and fix it.
You're talking some mythical stuff with your flashback. You left out the part where programs didn't get in trouble and the impact of shoe companies deciding what programs get the top players. You seem to be okay with that corruption because of something something reasons something.I'd rather go back to the time where programs got in trouble for paying players/cheating to win. Seemed more fair........you seem to think otherwise. Sorry its not gonna work out the way you want it to, because the real adults are gonna step in and fix it.
Good luck to your team not getting caught in the wake.
