Jon Rothstein's top 45 teams in the country.

This is from 2 months ago for those wondering

Yes and no. He put up the first Rothstein 45 two months ago, but has been updating it every day to reflect portal changes and freshman commitments.

This thread, however, is about two months too late.

If he had us at #22, it would be perfectly valid and no unkind words about him would have been written….

 

[Delmar]

Just win, baby.

And, Cuse is not one of them.

And St John’s at #3 after two+ decades of mostly being irrelevant (except for a few good years thrown in here and there) until last season. Shows what a proven high level coach can do to turn things around quickly.

This shows how little faith the pundits have in Red right now. He has a lot to prove this season.

This team desperately needs an overseas or over the border summer trip to get some real games in…

Agreed, was just thinking that.

Radio silence on that front it seems though:/

I just looked at yesterday’s version. Still not in…

I could certainly be wrong but I think Duke being so highly ranked again this year is a stretch. Boozer twins are very good but they lost a ton alongside Flagg. I don’t think any of these freshman are close enough to Flagg nor do the others make up enough ground with the other losses. I can see them roaming closer to 20-25 or just outside of it.

Not all that impressed with them. Flagg is an all timer. The Boozer twins are not.

If their names were not Boozer they would not be ranked as high as they are. They are good players, but not huge difference makers. They will go as far as their returnees take them.
