I’ve been slow cooking this take since the overseas games but I’m going to just say it now. I think Newman will have a better year than Graham.

If we're talking stat wise then I don't think that's too far fetched.

Man wish espn was still doing the 24 he Cbb marathon

Weak that they canceling it

Not trying to get too emotional right now, but for the first time since C.M. took over we finally have a really good squad.

Marvin Clarke from Michigan State and Justin Simon from Arizona have been huge god sends for us at SJU.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Shamorie Ponds beats out Angel Delgado and Jalen Brunson for B.E player of the year.

Again cautious optimism.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Maybe he’ll get better in four years.

I think De'Ron Davis is going to break out and be among the top names in the Big 10 this year. Maybe all-conference over Happ. But as a team overall I see us middle of the pack at best unless Robert Johnson really steps up.

I think Minnesota will finish second in the conference at worst. Maryland should be better without trimble too.
