Further proof of Katz's vendetta against UK...

Exactly what I was thinking.

I wonder what his deal is.

 

I am surprised people do not have Duke higher, but I am not sure how great they are right now. I am not seeing a very good team at Duke for atleast a couple years.

 

A team that may be a little underrated is Ohio St. Matta has been getting 1 big time player after another. The only problem is that no one knows how long they will stay at Ohio St.

Exactly he hates UK, I thought UL would get more love.

Either that or he's once again proving his ignorrance.

I don't get how your colleagues can have a team no lower than 4th, but you leave them off completely. I really have never heard him say anything positive about the Cats.

 

As for UofL, they will be sitting pretty for the next few seasons, but we know Pitino won't be around for all 10 of those years so it leaves the distant future a little cloudy.

I'll give it a shot:

 

1. North Carolina

2. UCLA

3. Indiana

4. Kentucky

5. Georgetown

6. Duke

7. Kansas

8. Ohio State

9. Louisville

10. Texas

Wow! No Florida. Do you expect them to drop off big time?

 

With these predictions everyone has a chance to be right for a few more years.

I don't think Billy D will be there much longer. If that's true I see them going back to the middle of the SEC pack...

You should go to work for ESPN. I like your list.

1. North Carolina

2. Texas

3. Ohio State

4. Kentucky

5. UCLA

6. Duke

7. Florida

8. Kansas

9. Indiana

10. UCONN

It's tough not to put Ohio State towards the top. Matta can recruit & Columbus is a great location to recruit from, IMO.

 

Texas & O$U are in very similar positions, IMO. Both Rick Barnes & Thad Matta are sitting on gold-mines. The problem is I don't think either school will ever become a "basketball" school...

I'll give it a shot:

 

1. North Carolina

2. UCLA

3. Indiana

4. Kentucky

5. Georgetown

6. Duke

7. Kansas

8. Ohio State

9. Louisville

10. Texas

 

You're just baiting me, aren't you?
