Michigan St must have alot of guys coming back? I thought Kentucky would have been higher as well.

 

i think they only lost suton, and roe's knees should be fine this year. carolina is too high and gt is getting a ton of love. georgia tech did their best to not win a conference game all of last year.

 

If they are ranking Carolina relative to the recruiting class, then Kentucky should be #1. I thought Michigan St, just got on a run last year, not that they are a bad team, just not good enough to be at #2.

 

Each has a good frontcourt returning. UK has Patterson, but Carolina easily has the best frontcourt in the country with Zeller, Henson, Thompson, and Ed Davis. Thats why thery are ranked higher - even though they might go the whole year without making a three pointer - hence my overrated comment.

 

Yes you are right about that, but its no slam dunk:wink: that they win the ACC this year.

 

whats the odds of calapari getting UK on probation?

 

good weed high!
