It’s discovered that Texas St. provided a sham class to help keep athletes eligible for one semester. NCAA gives them the death penalty.

 

[MISSOURIJACKET]

And GT upsets UCLA.

I would say about mine.....the likeliest of the unlikely...

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I think GT goes 22-9 this season with a 10-8 record in the ACC.

 

[awbuzz]

I am not as creative as most of the posters above, but would love to have most of the "prognostications" come true. [emoji16]

 

[tatertot1]

Tadric Jackson will have a breakout season, Ben Lammers will keep getting better each game,we will get Talen-Horton Tucker,Josh okogie will get player of the year in the ACC and duke wukey will lose 10-20 games this year gonna be a bad year for duke

 

[long7135]

not so bold, but...
Moses Wright will redshirt
Jon Brown will get more playing time than Brandon Alston
Evan Cole will start over Gueye
Ben Lammers will be a first round pick

 

[mstranahan]

Ol Roy retires abruptly, saying he can’t live with himself and what they got away with

Pitino gets a broadcasting job at a radio station in Vegas

Buzz “Curly” Williams openly pursues every open P5 job, to no avail

Tech wins 21 or 22 games, 10-8 ACC, makes NCAAT as 12 seed.

Lammers second team all ACC. DPOY.

Okogie second or third team all ACC. Tests the NBA waters, but stays at Tech.

 

[SteamWhistle]

Jose ACC ROTY.
Josh ACC POTY.
GT wins Acc Tournament after finishing 5th in regular season.
12th Seed GT beats 5th Seed Kentucky in first round of tournament.
Okogie goes 22nd to the Thunder.
Lammers goes 28th to the Spurs.

I agree with most of these, except Pitino's job in Vegas would be a new show replete with dancing girls, not a radio job. He's all flash (especially in the rest room).

Thank goodness! I’ll finally get to watch Okogie here in OK!

Here goes:

INDIVIDUAL
3 GT Players average 15+ ppg (Okogie, Lammers, Tadric)
Lammers wins Defensive POY for ACC, and is at least the 2nd team All-American Center
Okogie makes first team All-ACC, Lammers is first team All ACC, Tadric makes an All ACC team of some kind
Jose Alvarado makes ACC freshmen team, as does CBG
CBG will be this year's version "Josh Okogie"...high impact freshmen
Evan Cole plays heavy minutes at the 4
Ogbonda is GT's most improved player, and gives us a plus presence behind Lammers at the 5

TEAM:
We win 20+ games again
NCAA Tournament team
Will win at least 10 games in the ACC

Wait?! Coach Brian Gregory is coming back as a freshman (he asks knowing that there was a repeated typo for CGB, get it, it's funny, ... or at least annoying)
