Tarheel Boy 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Very doubtful, but IF Brandan Wright stays at Carolina I think they'll be as good as the 2005 squad and probably better when it's all said and done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 783 Posted April 5, 2007 What's occurred in the last 10 days? cole aldrich is happening also, that's totally on the presumption everybody is coming back... > actually means greater than.... ku shouldve lost to siu.... siu wasnt going to beat ucla.... i love no wisconsin in the top 25... my guess is.......if dude is writing this based on guesses, he is just filling space...go cover a game now and report on it..quit with the guesses... i will not debate anyone that does not care about college basketball or watch college basketball, about basketball. get lost. no love for the Big 12 south at all acie law is gone, kevin durant is gone. OSU and OU have some very good players coming in, and augustine is a stud, but I'm not sure any of those players warrant the South being in the top 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,113 Posted April 5, 2007 augustine is a stud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 783 Posted April 5, 2007 well not yet, but with a year under his belt he's a very good player and didn't get near the attention he should have with Durant stealing all the limelight. he's one of the better players in the conference. also, where are the privateers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,113 Posted April 5, 2007 aldrich fills more of a need Good point UCLA doesn't need any size or inside scoring. ALSO! my pick for the most overhyped garbage ass thug prospect... OJ Mayo.

swirvenirvin 25 Posted April 6, 2007 Spartans will definitely be better next year(hoprfully) not losing anyone, hopefully goggle boy doesnt transfer. I know him and izzo had a sitdown. He doenst want to play defense Where's the Purdue love? ehh just in case you are serious, landry gone, and some other guy is transferring out of there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 783 Posted April 6, 2007 Aldrich is ok, but he's not changing the fate of any top program. IF (big if) everyone comes back, Kansas isn't going to need much help. They have a great trio of guards in Collins, Chalmers and Rus Rob, and then Rush, Wright, Arthur, Kaun and Jackson complement the guards very well. The only real presence this team is missing is a big, dominant physical force underneath. Aldrich provides that big body they are missing, and is a much better scorer than Kaun will ever think about being. Did you see this kid in the MickeyD's game, he's a fockin monster. Even if he was kinda goofy lookin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let Da Big Dog Eat 38 Posted April 6, 2007 By mid season Wisconsin will be back in the top 20. I realize that they lost Tucker and Taylor. But, I think that they will be way more balanced offensively next year and harder to defend. The 2 soph guards Bohannon and Hughs are players as is the established Flowers. I also expect F's Landry and Krabenhoft to be much improved. Butch is solid. What's not to like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t.j 35 Posted April 6, 2007 Kansas needs help in the coaching department, too. What Kansas needs is better fans, really. Maybe some with objectivity rather than blind homerism. Fans who will wait to talk smack until after they've accomplished something, as opposed to preemptively jinxing them, would help too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldrich provides that big body they are missing, and is a much better scorer than Kaun will ever think about being. Did you see this kid in the MickeyD's game, he's a fockin monster. Even if he was kinda goofy lookin I'm not big on using all star games to assess a players ability. Nobody defends, refs are instructed to keep things moving and make sure nobody gets killed, etc. Aldrich was ok at the ABCD camp in July; certainly didn't overwhelm anyone. Great wingspan, not as doughy as typical high school bigs; obviously spent some time in the weight room. Didn't play vs a ranked player taller than 6'8" in HS competition. Bad footwork in the low blocks. Kaun would work him right now, and Kaun is nothing special. Blocks a lot of shots from off the ball; a lot tougher to do that at the collegiate level with superior athletes. None of these flaws are atypical for a high school player; I just wouldn't be figuring on him for anything other than minimal minutes on a good team. BTW, did I read right and Kaun is only a junior? I could have sworn he's been there since the first Bush administration. Must be on the Lester Earl (KU, 1982-1996) plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't necessarily mean he tore it up in the McD's game, actually he didn't do anything from what I saw to get me real excited. I was just commenting on his actual physical size The program will helpfully get him where it needs to be, of course I hoped that of Eric Chenowith when I was a frosh at KU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
