Good roundup post! I wish I had a second upvote to give!
Complete waste of time at this point.
I wouldn’t say its a complete waste of time, just mostly a waste of time…but I don’t know…it’s kind of fun to look at and what else are we going to do? Actual work at our jobs?
Maybe that came off more negative than I intended. My apologies.
I just meant I think they hold very little if any value as of today until rosters are largely finalized (which they are not close).
Womp womp
(for anyone seeing this first, Jase has declared… 
)
Since you seem to enjoy the hype around UCLA, this ranking has them 4th 
Gonna be fun watching Dent in the B1G.

Dylan found an account that puts a nice summary. While I agree with @romeowolv that it is silly until rosters are finalized, I do wonder if these things have a weird correlation to what actually happens next year. If I’m really bored…might look that up later.
It’s nice to see the conference getting some love in the preseason projections. Is UCLA supposed to be that much better?
So I probably watched some Cluff tape at some point but I can’t recall it…does he alone really justify this big a leap for Purdue?
As simple as bringing back the three best players from a top 15 team, including two who will be preseason All-Americans.
I think also having their freshman center, Jacobsen, coming back from injury also will help them out alot with the low post defense and size they were missing this year. They could really use another wing on their roster.
What happened to the SEC?
Michigan State? Does he know that Jase declared for the draft?
Edit: this is his projected starting 5 and somehow he thinks this is a top 10 team?

he’s a big fan of slam jams I guess
