Early Lunardi Brackets... not even remotely in sight

[Flacusian]

A lot of buzz nationally for Cuse. Lunardi doesn't even have us showing in the 2nd "next 4 out. Sheesh talk about dropping off the map.

They need to put that up in the locker room ASAP

Seems to me I remember a few weeks ago they had us as a #3 seed or something high like that :crazy:

He probably forgot to take the "Probation" blocker off his Bracketology software.

Unfortunately there is not buzz nationally for the cuse other than sanction talk. Given that we lose our best player (Rak) and our best potential returnee (CM), and that we have no sure-fire freshman stars, I can easily envision a break-even season. We are nowhere to be found in most top 20-25 lists for next year and rightly so-we have to earn out way back up by beating teams.

Perfect. Under the radar. Exactly where we want to be

I hope they surprise us but I think we are a bubble team at best. Losing CM and not getting Bryant is pretty huge when you think about our size. We need another big to be the difference maker imo. I think Joseph will be strong next season but I'm worrying about the center position for the next few years.

If everything goes right next year, we can win 22-24 games. A few things don't, we're in the 17-20 win range.

If everything goes right next year then DC is a dominant force inside on offense (don't expect a dominator on defense) and KJ becomes a typical good to great PG we thought we had recruited.

Add in SilentG, Cooney, and a Top 5 recruiting class then we can be special.

Of course, hoping "everything goes right" with this program is like flipping a coin.

Cheers,

Seems right to me Not that I think we will miss the tourney, I happen to think we'll be pretty good next year (compared to this year anyway), but respect is going to have to be earned because "on paper" it doesn't look good.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Next year = boilerplate 4 seed and Sweet 16. Can pretty much set your watch by it.

Ummm... you possibly our best player.

The last thing we need is NBA draft talk. If we only lost the first Duke game two years ago we would probably have been watching Ennis and Grant take us to a final four this season.
