25. Cincinnati

Returning: Troy Caupain, Farad Cobb, Gary Clark, Jacob Evans, Kevin Johnson, Justin Jenifer
Newcomers: Jaron Cumberland, Kyle Washington, Nysier Brooks
Why they’re here: We know how good their guards are. The key for them is going to be how much of an impact Washington has in the front court.

So NBC thinks Cobb is returning...

1) Troy went from 5-9-13 his first 3 years. Im saying over
2) With an increased role, full off season, and a year under his belt I think Evans will be around there. Im going either he or gary has 12. The other has 10
3) answered on #2
4) under mostly because of an unknown how he will preform in first year with team
5) I think Cumberland is around the 8 PPG mark. So push ha
6) over. Hes averaged 21 the last 2 years
7) under
8)Over
9)Im all in on troy this year. OVer
10) Quad and Jenifer have to be better. So for the sake of the team. Over

then add the Martin twins

 

[Warrior1]

If Evans doesn't get the touches he did in the st.joes game, this team is doomed. Without a doubt will be one of the greats from Cincinnati.

That is what Kmart said. Hope he hits the gym even harder this summer.

Daniel Hamilton states the below...Looks like he's all gone... all of a sudden, this NEEDs to be the year we win the AAC.

On a side note...man.. this seems like the wrong decision at first blush.

Glad we don't have to face him again. He was dominant against us in the conference tourney. Tough loss for UConn but they have some really good recruits coming so don't feel bad for them

Jon Rothstein has Cincinnati as #18 in his early rankings.

I think if you take some of the reputable top 25 preseason rankings, average them, that is a reasonable predictor. We tend to over analyze our "inside" information. For example pictures of the weight lifting, stories of how Shaquille was bummed out after losing to Kentucky etcetera. I'm just me being more cautious going forward.

We also know that the top four from the preseason top 25 is a pretty good predictor of NCAA tournament success. There are exceptions. Like Michigan State. I'm not sure what Villanova was ranked preseason.

 

[prancer]

Villanova was ranked ~10 preseason. (11 in AP, 9 in Coaches)

Thanks. This year I'm going to save a few well known top 25 preseason rankings. AP coaches poll ESPN. Then I will compare them to the end of the season pre and post tournament.

Some overachieve with less talent in the regular season, but the cream usually Rises to the top later in the tournament. Talent wins.

Also curious how we think our team will do next year vs the prognosticators. I think they don't know all of the subtle details we know but they have a good idea of our overall Talent level without the fan bias.

Also wanna compare this year's preseason rankings to the final results. Just had my hopes too high this past year. Only to come Crashing Down

Honestly we weren't that far from being the team a lot of people were expecting. If we split the buzzer beater games (2 pt games and overtime games we lost all 7) if we manage to win 3-4 of those we would have been ranked about where I thought we would be as a team coming into the season.

So there was reason for optimism...but there was an IT factor that we just didn't seem to have. That factor is so small it only needed to account for 2-3 points in 3 or 4 games. I think that IT factor is having a guy that can reliably create plays in crunch time whether it's making a clutch shot or a great pass.

Hopefully next year Troy and Jacob can do some of that when we need it. We haven't had that IT factor since SK and he had a very average (at best) supporting cast. Put an SK on the wing on this year's squad and we are an elite 8 or final 4 team. We don't need an all American but we do need someone who can create plays reliably.
