Love our core 3...but Michigan State with Winston, Langford, Tillman and I will throw in Henry on paper will be better at every starting position except C than us. I do like our depth and versatility a lot better though.
Maui will be fun.

I assume the bracket will be setup so it’s MSU v KU in the championship game if both win their first 2. I dont think there’s another ranked team there
Do you think all 4 are the same level of good?
I could easily put in Moss, Ochai and McCormack but wanted to hear about the top top players returning.
I don’t think the thread is about last year’s top three. Could be wrong though.
Garrison Brooks
Leaky Black
Brandon Robinson
Brooks is a better player than people give him credit for, albeit a role player.
Leaky has a ton of upside, and could potentially be a pro.
Brandon is a very good defender, who started getting hot from 3 last season, albeit a good role player. Also the only senior who will get decent minutes next year.

And yet you guys were still pretty average last year. Your fans were saying Kentucky would beat an All Big Ten team. What a bunch of fvcking idiots. @Jkwo
michigan state has the strongest returning top 3 players
Tre Jones is the obvious one. I like having Javin back. Not sure about #3. Think O'Connell should be, but Baker could be.
Obviously not a strong returning 3 for Duke. I'd say Tre Jones, Javin DeLaurier, and maybe Jack White if he can re-gain his confidence that he had in the OOC season. For team's around the country I'll go with...
My top 10
1. Michigan State: Cassius Winston, Josh Langford, Xavier Tillman
2. Kansas: Udoka Azbuike, Devon Dotson, Silvio De Sousa
3. Maryland: Anthony Cowan, Jalen Smith, Eric Ayala
4. Louisville: Jordan Nwora, Steven Enoch, Dwayne Sutton
5. LSU: Skylar Mays, Javonte Smart, Emmitt Williams
6. Seton Hall: Myles Powell, Myles Cale, Sandro M.
7. Illinois: Ayo Dosunmu, Trent Frazier, Giorgi B.
8. Utah State: Sam Merrill. Neemias Queta, Diogo Brito
9. Baylor: Tristan Clark, Mario Kegler, Jared Butler
10. Saint Mary's: Jordan Ford, Malik Fitts, Tanner Krebs
Next 10, not in order: Notre Dame, Creighton, Michigan, Purdue, Oregon State, Belmont, Gonzaga, Xavier, New Mexico State, Alabama

Damn... don't even have Ashton, Immanuel, and EJ top 20?
Devonte Green
Rob Phinisee
De'Ron Davis...
Could add Al Durham as well. Also, IF Hunter is able to play, he could be IU's best player.

They probably merit top 20. Just naturally don't think of schools with high turnover. I'm sure there are other schools that deserve consideration. NC State is another one that I probably should have listed (Markell Johnson, CJ Bryce, Devon Daniels).
Some scrubs that are still in college as Sophs.
I respect it.
Hopefully Hagans is consistent and IQ/EJ make a jump. All showed good potential last year. I guess Richards could still become a player but not sure he'll ever be more than we've seen. I like our returnees though. Wish my Herro would've returned.
A team that could beat an All Big Ten team should be better than an elite 8 team
Ehh....seems about right, Most Big 10 teams tend to max~ Elite 8.., or has for a while now. The sum of all parts or something like that.
Maybe if Izzo was coaching them.
But the returnees are much better than yours. Spin it however you need to to feel better, chief.
Our new guys are better than yours... And our top 3 returnees are future pros.... no spin zone.... that's your job.
Curious how you know they are better? And Nick Richards is a future pro?
Maybe based on seed but not based on talent.
Where do most SEC teams max ~?
Title game and EE in back to back years is pretty solid for Michigan.
Izzo comment was a little odd because that was the first time in awhile MSU has went for in the tourney.
Michigan also has owned him the past few years in the BIG
Reminds me of UK fans saying they would beat an All Big Ten team.... lol.
There were 3 Big Ten teams better than UK last year.
UK would get absolutely embarrassed by an All Big Ten team.
Of course they would. They lost to a depleted Auburn team.
Cassius Winston
Carsten Edwards
Romeo Langford
Ignas Brazdeikas
Ethan Happ
Not to mention guys like Lamar Stevens, Juwan Morgan, And Jordan Murphy coming off the bench.
One of the dumbest things I’ve had to argue against.
He'll land somewhere. Most likely overseas, unless he has a break out year. He's got skills, he just hasn't learned how to use them consistently.
To me it seems as “Our new guys are better than yours” is stating your opinion as fact. Apologies if that was not the case. How do you know they are?
