its actually a pretty crappy post. better recruits gives you a better chance to be good. but the rankings aren't an exact science. extremely good athletes tend to get overrated even if they aren't great basketball players. good basketball players that aren't hyper athletic tend to get underrated. some players peak in high school, others keep developing.
if you are getting top 20 guys its great for the most part, obviously its nice to get top 100 guys, but that doesn't guarantee you anything. there have been plenty of schools that get top 100 guys and dont make the tournament. plenty of schools that rarely get top 100 guys and make it all the time. a lot of players are overrated and underrated every year, just looking at who has how many x star players isn't the way to do it. |

This game probably wouldn't be too far off even money if playing on a neutral site. If we both play well we should win. If we both play bad we should win. If we play well and they play bad we should win.
So we need to avoid us playing bad and them playing well. Those are pretty good odds until you look at recent history because they usually play better than we do for some damn reason. So we are back to even money...lol! |

After Mick's comments today, somebody should tell Mick that Kerem Kanter was actually a pretty good offensive player last year. Its not fluke for him to score 17.

he went 2-2 from 3. thats not really a big deal over the course of a game. he didn't shoot a lot on the season but he shot 33%, not 13%. he hit 2 in 4 other games. just seemed like an odd/the wrong person to bring up (probably shouldn't bring up anybody specifically). |
