MSU #1

OSU #18

Providence #30 (MAYBE ED WAS RIGHT)

Michigan... uh.......... Fuck Andy Kats

 

Michigan should be in that top 20 ez with what we still have from that 2018 god class.


Gonna have to show the world next year. Cause we gotta prove everything again.

Roster stays as it is? We Redshirted 2 top 100 Recruits one of which was higher rated than our soon to be first-round NBA pick. You act as if were a MAC team with 2 star kids? We return 2 starters and hopefully fill the other 3 spots with 2 of those top 100 Recruits+1.

 

Don't see how we can get put behind Mid Majors with 3 star kids up and down their roster.

If we re-sign Jalen WIlson, we  will be top 15 for sure.

 

 I wouldn't trade a Teske/Livers front court for any other in the league right now.

 

I think it's reasonable to expect big leaps from Johns and Castleton as well.  Perhaps John's can start at SF, the guy was a top 50 recruit.

This seems reasonable.  We lost 3 of our starters (our top 3 scorers), our head coach (perhaps the best in the game), our top assistant coach ( a defensive wizard) and our highest rated recruit, leaving only one recruit in this class.  And we have a new head coach without any head coaching experience.

Neverthless, I'm still optimistic.  Juwan Howard has the potential to be an exceptional head coach and recruiter.  He is already building a solid coaching crew.  And we have some great players coming back and at least one great recruit coming in.  But I don't have any set expectations and see this as a transition year.

If we somehow get Jalen Wilson back in the fold and add Franz Wagner, then I think top 36 is a reasonable expectation.

Lol the fact that we're not in the top 36 is bogus. Yes, we have a new coach, but bringing back Simpson, Livers, and Teske basically guarantees a pretty solid floor for this team, especially defensively, that puts us at at least a borderline top 25 team
