College Basketball Catch up Thread

This is a little early but I am excited because Georgetown just landed the #1 recruit for next year, who apparently might lure other top recruits with him:

I figure people can just post about their respective schools, cuz I do not know a lot of what has gone at other schools. Gtown will be good this year, with the same team as last year minus Jeff Green. They added two All American recruits, both guards, Austin Freeman and Chris Wright, who should play a lot. Starting lineup will look like this probably:

G: John Wallace
G: Jessie Sapp
F: Dajuan Summers
F: Patrick Ewing Jr.
C: Roy Hibbert

This should be a top ten team all year. Schedule isnt too hard, early schedule is a joke except for at Alabama and at Memphis. They should win the Big East, but might struggle with Green gone so we shall see. Either way I am really excited, post about your favorite teams.

Yeah this team is really good even with the loss of Green.

Is this the year Lil Romeo plays for USC or is he a freshman next year lol?

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 had won like 13 games straight last year and the 'Cuse still beat us bad. I hate syracuse a lot. They always play good.

Assuming we stay healthy, this will be the first year in a long time that Auburn doesn't suck.

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 has a torn ACL, he didn't leave. As for my school, ND should be pretty good this year, the backcourt should be very good with Tory Jackson and McAlarney, both with point guard ball handling ability and Jackson the slasher and McAlarney the shooter. Kurz and Harangody should be good down low, I'm excited to see how much Harangody progressed from his freshman year, if he developed a left hand he'd be pretty tough to stop. We'll probably score a lot of points and give up a lot of points, the schedule is a joke until conference play, and the Big East should be tougher this year, so who knows how things will shake out, but I hope to at least make the tournament again and try not to have the worst shooting game of the year in the first round.

Unfortunately Harongody tore a ligament in his right thumb and could miss the first six games. Obviously they will be pretty soft though. It would be great if this team could stop losing games it SHOULD win. I would say that, despite the toughness of the conference schedule, they have the talent level to make the tournament. It would be nice to not have to sweat the run in though like is usual.

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.
