October is upon us and the Basketball magazines are
starting to trickle out. The first one I
saw was Athlon's, which is usually pretty good, so I picked it up. I like when they go back and look at the Top
10 recruiting class from 5-10 years ago.
Some of those names are forgettable!
As for the predictions, like most seasons, I'm not
expecting to see much difference between this magazine and any other
magazine. It'll probably be the same 9
with an stretch thrown in. As for
Athlon, here's what they have:
1. Duke
2. Kentucky
3. Villanova
4. Oregon
5. Kansas
6. North Carolina
7. Virginia
8. Xavier
9. Arizona
10. Wisconsin
Nothing really jumps out at me here. I'm guessing everybody will have Duke or
Kentucky #1. Oregon may be a stretch at
4 but the one that I think is too low is Wisconsin. They really came on last year after old man
Bo quit. With a solid core and 4 of 5 starters
returning I think they are a viable Final Four team. Arizona may surprise this
year....finally. Then again they'll
probably lose in the Elite Eight.
Virginia will make me want to poke my eyes out I'm sure.
40 days to Tip!
