And I agree, as much as it pains me to say it, but they are going to be good. It just goes to show you the national rankings go on 'name' a lot in the preseason.

cyclone24 1,788 Posted October 17, 2012 HOMER ALERT!! Not sure how Iowa State is not in the top 25. Return 5 seniors......adding Will Clyburn from Utah (17 pppg..all conf) and Korie Luciuous from Michgian St. And add a very good freshman in George Niang who will start most likely at PF. Sure...they lose headcase Royce White.....but still a very very good unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 748 Posted October 17, 2012 Not only does ku have a stellar frosh class coming in, but we got 2 guys that had to sit out last year because of eligibility issues that still got to practice with the team. Going to be an exciting year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewburtx8 67 Posted October 17, 2012 Here's the initial USA Today Coaches Poll.. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1374637-usa-today-college-basketball-poll-2012-complete-preseason-rankings I'm a Duke fan. Boooo!!! But I noticed they play Kentucky in the Champions Classic in their 2nd game and then play at home vs Ohio State in their 5th game. Should learn a lot about the team pretty early.

And what is Eli Manning doing?....man he'll never get out of his brothers shadow and not choke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewburtx8 67 Posted October 17, 2012 What they need is a tool to avoid choking I used to love to rail on Kentucky and especially John Calipari. I also used to say that they couldn't win a title by recruiting all big time one and done guys. But last year they proved me wrong. Granted they got Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb to stick around another year, and they had possibly one of those once a decade type players, but I still have to give them credit for getting it done.
