Andy Katz top 25

• Emmett Brown

  

  He has OSU 12th. He is assuming ET is gone. The Big 10 should be good again unless their are injuries.

  It seems to me that Katz is saying that a lot of players, who most people realize are going to the NBA, are coming back.
  
  Crawford of Xavier, Greg Monroe of G-Town, and a few more I can't think of are all sure fire NBA draft locks...and he's talking like they MIGHT come back, and even in some cases are likely to come back...not sure I agree with that.
• cbus4life

  I think Crawford is certainly gone...

  Haha thats laughable. Crawford won't stay and X won't even sniff a top 25 next season. Its going to be rough. Frease has to take over Love's playing time and he is just awful, and thats being nice. We don't have a dominate guard because of Crawford leaving.
  
  Damnit now I am in a bad mood.
• cbus4life

  Where do you think X finishes in the A-10 next year?
  
  Dayton should be solid, and i would imagine Richmond and Saint Louis should be strong as well, again. Am i forgetting anyone?
• CinciX12

  

  Xavier will probably win the A10 next season. Its kind of like winning the Special Olympics to me though.
  
  Temple will take a hit with losing Brooks and Guzman but they still have some great players.
  Charlotte could be good if they hire the right coach (Pat Kelsey from X is a rumor)
  Dayton is at the will of Brian Gregory. If the dwarf begins to understand the concept of coaching next season better than this year UD will be very good.
  Fat ass will have St. Louis looking very good next year.
  I'm not sure about Richmond, Anderson will return but they lose Gonzalvez who I thought was the better of the two and never got the amount of credit he deserved.
  
  The rest of the conference? Well its the Atlantic 10 basically.

  Fair enough, thanks for the info.
  
  And, haha @ "fat ass."
• CinciX12

  

  In hindsight, I misread that article.
  
  That moron thinks we will be the #9 team in the country WITHOUT Crawford? What the hell are we with him? #1? He obviously watched 5 minutes of X this year.

  X has a very good class coming in next year, they will be fine. Holloway will continue to dominate late in games like he did all year. Love was solid, but soft would be an understatement.
