College Basketball 2013-2014

Keep your Creaning in the other thread.

 

Who do you got? Kentucky's incoming class is scary. MSU should be loaded. OSU will be tough. Louisville should still be pretty damn good.

[pitchcs]

1) MSU

2) Kentucky

 

 

Very big drop off after that IMO

[Exile on Waveland]

I'm not sold Michigan State will go unscatched with early entries (maybe more Payne than Harris, though). If they do, I'll put Kentucky No. 1 and Michigan State No. 2.

Isn't Harris having some sort of shoulder surgery?

Marcius oficially gone from Purdue

Possibly. I think he'll end up staying at Michigan State; though the shoulder injury isn't preventative of leaving early.

Gary Harris could end up 2nd Team All-American or better next year.

Louisville up there too, but only if Russ Smith stays. Ken Pom's #1 player this year.

Boy, he has to go doesn't he? His stock can't get much higher.

I disagree. I think he ought to stay and prove he can actually be an efficient and be a true point guard. I think that by taking over for Siva and improving his shot selection and efficiency he could make a lot of progress up the draft board. I think he's a round 2 guy at this point.

I am not convinced either...but all indication at this point from what I have read is that they are both staying. It is not as big of a story as Michigans possible early entries so it is hard to get a real good read on it at this point though from the mainstream media in Michigan. I think as long as both do not go, then MSU will be a top 5 team. If they both go...well

Well if hes a round two guy now I guess he could move up. I thought he would be a first round guy though.

[Guest]

Yeah, I also think Russ Smith is a round 2 guy. Given his age (22 by draft day), you gotta think he'll go pro.

[Exile on Waveland]

I think he ought to stay and prove he . . . be a true point guard.

 

I don't believe that will ever happen. For the most part, "point guard" is an innate skill; it's not as simple as "dribble better" or "pass more."

Gary Harris could end up 2nd Team All-American or better next year.

 

Most definitely. He was really good this year, but slowed by injuries. He never really showed the athleticism level he possesses; offensively he was mainly a big shooter. He's much more diverse than that.

I was disappointed Harris didn't show more explosiveness this year. Didn't realize he had injury issues. They'll be #1 if everyone stays.

[UMFan83]

Trey Burke to announce his "decision" on Sunday. I'm guessing the rest of the UM guys won't accounce their decisions until Burke makes it official.

[sneakypower]

David Thorpe says Burke could/should go #1 if he declares

[NewUserName]

I was thinking the longer this plays out the better it would be for Michigan. Kind of surprised the decision/announcement has not been made yet

[Smack]

Jacob Lawson gone from Purdue.

[Magnetic Curses]

Aaron Cosby is transferring to Illinois. Amazing pickup.

John groce is just getting started.

Rumors true: Remy Abell transferring. IU is down to one player that can even remotely be called a ball-handler (and I don't mean one point guard, I mean one ball-handler)..

Which probably means Crean isn't done recruiting 13' right?

It opens up a 6th scholarship in '14 too
