October 22, 200817 yr Personally I think UofL is a more well rounded team than UConn and deeper as well but UConn obviously has a huge advantage right off the bat with Thabeet. UofL's front court will be great in time but they're very inexperienced right now. What kind of reach does Samuels have? I would imagine Clark/Jennings will be sharing the time guarding him.
October 22, 200817 yr Author I think they missed big time on Freshman of the Year. Kemba Walker is going to be a star...
October 22, 200817 yr I think they missed big time on Freshman of the Year. Kemba Walker is going to be a star... I agree. I believe he will be the top freshman point guard in the country this year. Greg Monroe is extremely lazy and didn't even score in the McDonald's All American game. I would much rather have Samuels or Walker than Monroe. As for the rankings, without knowing too much about their teams I would think Georgetown would be stronger than Marquette.
October 22, 200817 yr As for the rankings, without knowing too much about their teams I would think Georgetown would be stronger than Marquette. I'll take Marquette. GTown will be good but they lost some good players last year. Marquette will be very experienced.
October 22, 200817 yr Author Earl Clark = BEast player of the year. UL will be too balanced for him to get that IMO...
October 22, 200817 yr I'll take Marquette. GTown will be good but they lost some good players last year. Marquette will be very experienced. After looking into it a little more I realized that Dominic James is back for Marquette. I thought he graduated. As for Big East player of the year, I think the way he scores the POY could be Scotty Reynolds.
October 22, 200817 yr Author I agree. I believe he will be the top freshman point guard in the country this year. Greg Monroe is extremely lazy and didn't even score in the McDonald's All American game. I would much rather have Samuels or Walker than Monroe. I'd take Gates over Monroe every day of the week...
October 22, 200817 yr I'd take Gates over Monroe every day of the week... I agree. I saw both play and Gates played much harder than Monroe.
October 22, 200817 yr I never liked Monroe when I watch him play. While I cant judge too much cause I only saw him a few times, I really did not like the way he played. Very lazy.
October 22, 200817 yr UL will be too balanced for him to get that IMO... I agree. Too many good players contributing for one to stand out that much IMO.
October 22, 200817 yr UL will be too balanced for him to get that IMO... I'm happy to say that I agree.
