College hoops ftw.

I know 'Cuse is supposed to have a sick incoming class & are unranked. Last time that happened it worked out ok [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It'd be cool if the G'town rivalry heated up again; but this ridiculous 300 team conference isn't helping.

We lost the big 3 but it's good to start over. Not having Rautins this year sucks. Stupid Canadian national team.

But the starting line-up will probably look something like this:

PG: Jonny Flynn (Josh Wright might start until Flynn gets his feet wet.)
SG: Eric Devendorf
SF: Paul Harris
PF: Donte Green
C: Arinze Onauku

Both Flynn and Greene are 5 star recruits and should be impressive right away. Two other recruits in 6-8 235 Rick Jackson and SG Antonio Jardine should contribute right away. Also 6-8 JuCo transfer Kristof Ongenaet was added for depth to a very young frontcourt.

Depending on how the young players adjust and if Paul Harris progresses, this could be a very dangerous team late in the season. They are in most experts top 25 but with no seniors that will see any playing team, this team will have a lot of growing pains. Should be a fun season.

It looks like they're gonna red shirt 6-11 freshman Sean Williams. He's probably too thin to contribute yet.

I didn't realize Rautins left - that sucks. Can Flynn shoot or is he the slasher type? Hopefully both if he's 5star; otherwise where's the deep threat?

It'd be nice if Devendorf doesn't turn it over 10 times every other game.

Rautins was injured playing for the Canadian national team. Ruptured ACL. He's out for the season.

Flynn is a decent 3-point shooter but not the next JJ Redick. He's a top notch PG though, he can do it all. Devendorf has a pretty good 3-point shot. Harris was decent 3-point shooter in high school, not sure what happened last year. Also freshman Antonia Jardine can drain it from 3 and he'll get some time at the 2 this year.
