College Basketball 2009-10

Seems like it's time to start a new thread looking ahead to a new season.

 

John Wall, the top unsigned senior in the nation, was arrested for breaking and entering when he was seen by police walking out of a vacant house in North Carolina.

Oh boy, another season of disappointment, mediocre talent, and teeth-grinding annoyance from the Badgers!

 

I can't wait for them to make the tournament, get my hopes up, and crush them horrifically.

[CubbieBum]

Should be a great year. Although I will be out of Big Ten country so I won't be able to watch.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to get DeMarre Carroll a few more years of eligibility.

No more Blake Griffin = last place. :bye:

Do you still have his brother? UT should be interesting having the 2nd best class in the nation. Damion James needs to not hire an agent and come back next season.

I'm glad the 'Hawks are pretty much the consensus preseason #1 already, but all those expectations make me nervous.

Don't you guys add a stud class and return Warren? I imagine you will still be pretty good.

With the way Calipari has brought some excitement back, I'm definitely looking forward to this Fall and Midnight Madness. He's done an amazing recruiting job in a short amount of time.

I can't wait to see Iowa not win double digit games.

this will be another good year to be a Jayhawk.

What happens when he breaks into Krzyzewski's office?

Part of his agreement is that it becomes his handler's office. I think Wall is going to be the extremely talented headache everyone said Beasley and Mayo would be.

Well, hopefully one day the NCAA decides Mayo should be a headache to USC.

Well, I didn't mean that kind of headache, there's no way UNC, Duke, or KU ever gets the hammer unless they hire Dave Bliss. I mean disruption on and off the court while he's there.

[Magnetic Curses]

i can't wait to talk some iowa hoops!

[manbearcub]

beats talking illinois basketball.

Let's not be crazy. It'll be at least 15 more years before they even get around to Reggie Bush. I figure at least 25 for the Mayo thing.

Erick Bledsoe just chose Kentucky over Memphis. Wow Cal is good. I'd like to know how he convinced the second best PG in the class to come and be a backup.

But how much money will this cost him in the long run? Bad decision on Bledsoe's part. He'll back up Wall this season and then probably Brandon Knight next season. He'll more than likely be over recruited his entire time at Kentucky.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I think it probably went something like this: "Without me, Conference USA is no different than the MAC, come to a conference where there are more than zero good teams." Of course, he's selling the SEC, so there's like 2 good teams, but the point remains.

If Wall does come to UK (like much of this new group), he'll be a one and done. Bledsoe is undersized and doesn't have range beyond 18-19ft, so while he won't get the same playing time if Wall is there but would likely grab those minutes his Soph. year. Bledsoe doesn't have the same strengths as Wall to project where he would be successful or a high draft pick only after one year of college like Wall does. With that said, I'd be surprised if Bledsoe goes to school beyond 2 years.

Hell yeah, one of us is gonna win at least 5 games this year. You decide which one.
