Offseason thread (coaching changes, transfers, NBA Draft)

  They will both be back, IMO.

  So UNLV hired Marvin Menzies of New Mexico State fame...
  
  Even the probation days must seem like the glory years.

  In Duke news, Amile Jefferson has officially been granted a hardship waiver and will return to the team for a final season.
  
  Jefferson will serve an already talent-laden Duke squad with additional front-court depth and invaluable veteran leadership. With returning scoring leader and early NPOTY favorite Grayson Allen back, as well as third-leading scorer Luke Kennard and the country's second-best recruiting class, the Blue Devils will likely start the season atop the polls.
  
  If Marques Bolden signs, this could be Duke's best team in more than a decade.

  Agreed, unless Meeks simply decides he wants to play in Europe. I don't think he has a future in the NBA, but hopefully I'm wrong.

  Ivan Rabb staying at Cal. Kind of surprising.

  Meeks is back. Not a surprise at all. On top of just not being a top prospect, i'm pretty sure he just joined one of the most prestigious frats at UNC. Can't really see him leaving after doing that.

  Good news. Get Jackson back, and Carolina could be really good again.

  Still no word. But I think he'll be back.

  Jackson is coming back!! So big for this team.

  That's awesome!
  
  Berry/Britt/White
  Pinson/Williams/Woods
  Jackson/Robinson
  Hicks/Maye
  Meeks/Bradley
  
  Should be a solid team that, by the end of the year, could be really good. Might see a lot of small lineups though with the lack of depth in the post.

  Marques Bolden is going to Duke. Just an insane class for Coach K.

  They're completely loaded. Unfortunately, they're going to be the most talented team in the country next season.
  
  PG - Jackson
  SG - Allen/Kennard
  SF - Tatum/Jones
  PF - Giles/Jefferson/DeLaurier
  C - Bolden/Jeter
  
  Jack White (SF), Vrankovic (C), Obi (PF), Robinson (PF - Walk-On) will never see the floor, I would assume. I would also guess that Allen will handle the ball a lot since there's no true back-up PG.
  
  I basically hate everything I just typed.

  Indiana playing UNC, Kansas, Butler and Louisville this year. Finally stepping up. God they have had some abysmal OOC schedules recently
• FatHobbit

  

  OSU vs Louisville could be interesting since Lyle testified against Louisville

  They don't lol.
  
  They play Virginia in the Challenge.
• wildcats20

  

  So CBS was wrong with their confirmed ACC/B1G schedule.
  
  OSU is at Virginia.
  
  Not sure about the rest now.
• wildcats20

  

  Minnesota at Florida State
  Wake Forest at Northwestern
  Syracuse at Wisconsin
  Michigan State at Duke
  Pittsburgh at Maryland
  Iowa at Notre Dame
  Georgia Tech at Penn State
  NC State at Illinois
  Purdue at Louisville
  North Carolina at Indiana
  Ohio State at Virginia
  Virginia Tech at Michigan
  Rutgers at Miami
  Nebraska at Clemson
  
  That's the official schedule.

  UK getting Briscoe back is pretty big. He will be a huge asset on a young, but talented team.
  
  Malik Newman never went to class at Mississippi State because he thought he would be OAD. Now, he's withdrawing from the draft and likely going to a JUCO to play for a year.
  
  Just another LOL at an elite prospect who opts not to go to a big school, fades into obscurity and makes awful decisions.
• GOONx19

  

  I wasn't happy to hear Marcus Lee is transferring. Not necessarily a huge loss outside of his experience, but he is just a good kid. It's nice to have guys like that on a team.
• GOONx19

  

  Melo Trimble returning.
• Azubuike24

  

  Lots of guys returning. A loaded Freshman class.
  
  Duke/Kentucky/Kansas all with crazy talent
  Villanova returning most of their title team
  
  Gonna be a very fun season.
• Azubuike24

  

  Oh and Oregon returning everyone with Dorsey and Brooks returning.
• Mulva

  

  And Ohio State bringing back Trevor Thompson.
