ESPN's "No Longer Way Too Early" College Hoops Rankings

Most of the early forecasts I've seen have North Carolina number 1.

Lots of things I'm not certain about concerning the upcoming season. The one thing I am, is that Maryland isn't anywhere close to the best team in the country.

^ I'm not drinking the Maryland kool-aid quite yet either, though I do think they're really good. I know Melo Trimble is really good & probably one of the top five players in the country. They've got Diamond Stone coming in, but I wouldn't put them at the top. I'm also not as high on Virginia and Iowa State as ESPN is.

 

I would rank North Carolina #1 for now. Duke has some very good talent coming in. The addition of Murray reduces some of the concerns I had about UK. I'm fine with Kansas at 5, but I might rank Wichita State a bit higher than 9th.

 

I think Cal could be a dark horse, but they could also be a huge flop. I like Indiana's top four players, but having Crean on the sidelines gives me pause. LSU is a mix of how I see Cal & Indiana. They have a lot of upside with young players, but nothing at all going for them in their head coach.

 

I'd probably go:

 

North Carolina

Duke

Maryland

Kentucky

Kansas

UNC number 1 :lol2: yeah ok. Ole Roy will have something to say about that.

Give me UNC over Maryland. Add me to the list of guys who doesn't love Melo.

UNC number 1 :lol2: yeah ok. Ole Roy will have something to say about that.

 

Does less with more then any body since Dean.

UNC number 1 :lol2: yeah ok. Ole Roy will have something to say about that.

 

Not taking up for Roy or anything because I'm definitely not a fan of UNC, but anyway you slice it he's still won two national championships.

Maryland?

 

My thinking as well.

 

MAYBE top 5 at best.

UNC number 1 :lol2: yeah ok. Ole Roy will have something to say about that.

 

Jealousy isn't a good look.

Please explain?

Really? You been under a rock for the last 25 years? Ole Roy and Dean are so much alike. UNC after about 95 and Kansas just about any year under Ole Roy. Doherty handed Ole Roy his first title.

Jealousy isn't a good look.

 

Right? I'm jealous of their number 1 pre-season ranking when my favorite team just won a National Championship :lol2:

Don't avoid the question. When did he fail to win with more? At UNC, I could care less at Kanasa.
