Says the guy who works for a company who fabricates news by the truckload.

Year early bracketology? Coaches round table? College game day?

So what? ESPN is held to some bizarre standard. No one would ever say <insert network here> is hypocritical because <comedy show on network> made a joke about <soap opera on network> or <morning news show for slow people>.

He is an analyst and a person with his own opinions.

My point is he is pointing a finger at mock draft producers and saying you're pointless while he is paid for creating content on bracketology. It's a ridiculous statement. To call it fake news and judge others when that's also what he does for a living is laughable.

He can have an opinion no doubt. So can I. He's an idiot gas bag

I dunno. I for anything that's against Seth Greenberg so ...

I'm all for Greenberg being paid to be a gas bag. I'm glad he doesn't coach in the ACC anymore. The bad coach era was bad for the league.

Of course they'd never do that either as it'd be a self-imposed near-death penalty. I heard a couple UNC guys whining after their title that poor ol' Roy is doing it all w/o a team full o' one-and-doners since the possible sanctions are making recruiting soooo hard for him. Cry me a river, heels.

They should have just boycotted the championship game.

Not a surprise. Duval was on Duke campus last week and the general consensus is that he was shooting his commitment video.

This may be all Knox needed to hear.

Gotta love the uncheats trolls! Lol!

Reasonably interesting article about UNC's recent failures in being able to recruit the one and done level talent

It's all about the Junk

Duke lands Trevon Duval.

For those that haven't seen him play, he's one of the best scoring point guards I've seen in a long time

 

[mstranahan]

They whiffed on Knox, but they're loaded again next year. Duval and Carter both start from day one (and leave after a year). Allen will be much more productive at 2 with Duval at point (and Kennard gone). Bolden should be better (couldn't be much worse) and will benefit from having Duval penetrating. Big q is who plays the wing opposite Allen. Likely between Tucker, DeLaurier & Trent Jr.

Could be a down year in the ACC next year. Opportunity for CJP to finish higher in the league!
UNCheat has some nice pieces back (Berry, Pinson, Robinson, Woods, Williams, Maye) but all except Maye are 6'5 or under. Felton is their top recruit but he's a guard, too. Only front court players are Maye and two frosh (Huffman and Brooks). I think they take a pretty big step down if Bradley stays in the draft as expected.
Notre Dame will be good. Colson is back as are Pfluger, Gibbs & Farrell. The big euro dude (Gebbens?) is back too. DJ Harvey will get major minutes out of necessity
Louisville has a nice recruiting class to add to some solid vets (Snider, Mahmoud) and they have Pitino. Should be in the race for top 4
Buzz will have VPI in the mix. He's got talent (Clarke, Bibbs, Robinson, Hill, Sy) and the man can coach 'em up. Two very nice backcourt recruits in Alexander & Bede. This could be the year they are in the top 4.
UVA should be solid, but a lot depends on how guys mature into bigger roles. Guy & Jerome will be key on ofense. Salt, Diakite and Huff will be the interior and rebounding. Hall and Wilkins will have to be the defensive stoppers on the wing. Lots of question marks but likely they'll be in the mix
Syracuse (as discussed many times on the board) is going to be a shadow of the old Orange
FSU has a piece or two but Hamilton needs MJW badly (and I obviously hope he misses). Without MJ, he's counting on a lot of role players and no proven playmakers or scorers.
Wake needed Collins to stay. They've got a ton of kids of scholly but most haven't played big minutes or haven't shown much. Childress & Crawford may have to shoot a lot
BC will be better, but that's relative and the bar is pretty low
Clemson lost Blossomgame and don't have much left other than Mitchell, Grantham and DeVoe.
NC State & Pitt may not have enough kids to field a team

Notre Dame lands 4* guard for '18 class

Prentiss Hubb

 

[mstranahan]

Brey is doing a really nice job at ND. Not flashy and he does it with lots of under-appreciated 3* and 4* guys.
