Okafor is that good huh?

 

Man, I can't wait until basketball season!

It looks like they rank them by position. I expected Kaminsky to be on 1st Team instead of Okafor. I'm not saying I would rank them that way, but that's how I would have expected CBS to rank them.

Juwan Staten pre-season Second Team... that one stings.

I'd put LeVert on 1st Team instead of VanVleet. The rest of the 1st Team looks good to me.

If Harrell worked on his jumper in the off season he is going to have a heck of a year.

Anything outside of a dunk. I'm sure Rick can develop him into a second round pick

This guy....

He be first team All American in hanging on the rim if that was a category as well. That's his specialty.

Well he barely cracked the top 100 coming out of high school and now he's a preseason first team All-American so something's clearly going right.

Rick is the best in the country with guys like Montrezl IMO.

I don't remember where he was heading when he decided to re-open his recruitment but Kentucky was on his list and I was really hoping that UK would land him and was bummed that Louisville did. I enjoy watching him play.

Was it Virginia Tech?

Yeah. He decommitted when Tech fired Seth Greenberg... a foolish move for so many reasons. They're only now going to start recovering from that bad move now that they've hired Buzz.
