Duke you say?

Pretty sure they’re missing a zero on a few of those :grimacing:

Goodman failed to factor in Martelli drawing up all those NBA sets. What kind of writer is he, anyway?

Seth Davis puts Michigan #2 – blessing or curse?

Others of note: Gonzaga #1, UCLA #3, Purdue #4, Baylor #7, Illinois #10, Maryland #11, OSU #13, MSU #20

Illinois at #10 doesn’t make sense at all with their current roster construction, but at least it’s better than the ESPN/Goodman ones (which isn’t saying much).

Wow, Seth Davis is really high on our incoming freshmen. He has us #2 with only Hunter coming back among the five starters and says we’d be top 10 even with him gone.

Has a team bringing in the #1 class ever NOT been ranked in the Top 10?

Memphis in 2019?

I only know San Jose State as being the school that Olivier St. John left Michigan to go to. I really liked him.

That’s as it should be, considering their last Tournament appearance was with Saint-Jean on the roster.

If I am Arizona I am making a run at tommy Lloyd

he is contractually guaranteed as the next Gonzaga HC. he seems pretty content landing international recruits for Few

Few is only 58. He could easily coach another decade.

I don’t think he’s going anywhere. I just don’t think Lloyd is either

That’s a pretty major job (also one with implications for our schedule next year). Will be fascinating to see how that impacts the next cycle of the carousel.

Lloyd wouldn’t be the behest coach in waiting to leave. I mean if Arizona calls you have to at least answer. Some chatter among insiders he’s been mentioned for a while
