Men's Basketball Top 144 Previews

Pure
stupid
pure garbage my friends
stupitity

By the articles date, it's written a week AFTER Obekpa verballed - but apparently to lazy to to a final edit before publishing.    He thinks Branch is a backup combo guard?  Projects that Dom will "once again have to play out of position" - even tho we'e adding Obkepa, Sanchez, Sampson and Jones to GG up front?  Condedes Jakarr to be a STRONGER version of Mo, projects depth at every position, and ranks us 144?   Wowzers.

And I didn't see Obekpa listed. Just stupid. I'll love shoving it where the sun don't shine.

LIU is better than 101

St. John's will be dancing--with a chance to be elite if the new guys can gel.  This is one of the worst jobs I have ever seen.  Any team at any level that returns as many minutes played by younger guys as we do will be exponentially better. 

THey have Hofstra at 124. No way they are better than SJU.  Seton Hall at 99

Those dopes ranked Jakarr at 118

Who is on Hofstra?

This is going to be an interesting year for Hofstra. Mo's first year they did real well but that was Jenkins senior year. Last year they flat out stunk. If they don't show measurable improvement in the next 2 years I think they go for a higher profile coach ( preferably someone who doesnt party as much as Welsh )

Dwan Mcmillan is done already? Thought he just got there. They also have Shaq Stokes

Dwan was juco and I think he is done but not positive on that since he was hurt part of the year 2 years ago

"Point guard Dwan McMillan is also gone after dishing out 4.8 assists per game"

Im liking the Flying Dutchemen this year, some nice guards. Wasnt Buie a high level recruit?

dont remember. I know he was a transfer from penn or something but don't remember his rating. You have a win number in mind with them this year ?

Tough to predict with all newcomers at the 1,2,3. I love guard play, Im think over 500 in their league anyways. Lets see what Cassara's got

Buie was highly rated as an underclassmen but got passed by as he got older. Hes the half brother of Taylor Battle so thats the penn state connection. Hes got a lot of talent and I hope he puts it together at hofstra.

BTW, the Flying Dutchmen are now the Pride

Maybe someone had a typo and he meant 44.

Projected Postseason Tournament: NIT

Projected Starting Five:
Vincent Council, Senior, Guard, 15.9 points per game
Bryce Cotton, Junior, Guard, 14.3 points per game
Ricardo Ledo, Freshman, Guard, DNP last season
LaDontae Henton, Sophomore, Forward, 14.3 points per game
Kadeem Batts, Junior, Forward, 6.2 points per game

Seeing as Dunn is out till midseason at best and Ledo is looking less and less likely to qualify I can't see Providence or Seton Hall finishing ahead of St. John's at 144 is way too low for the red storm. It has St. John's finishing 2nd to last in the conference ahead of just DePaul. There are always a lot of question marks in the middle of the BE and I think St. Johns is in that tough middle of Pitt, USF, Rutgers, and Villanova. I had Providence in this group with Dunn and Ledo, with out them They could fall to the bottom with Uconn, Seton Hall and DePaul. That 7-12 grouping is going to be a huge battle. I think the top 6 teams are locks for the NCAA and the next 6 will be battling it out for the last 2-3 spots in the NCAA tournament from the BE.
