(Un)Interesting read. I agree with #1. After that I don't get it. 2 players from SHU and 2 players from Depaul in the Top 8? SJU has 5 in the Top 25 and Gtwn only 1 starter (with Whittington being hurt)? By this you would expect that SJU is the clear favorite to win the league, and Gtwn to finish 8th or 9th. XU and Butler with very little love too.. Summary: another stupid preseason list.

I would click and see how bad it is but that just gets them extra pennies which means they'll give more bad stories.

Another case where talent alone is not the only consideration of the team's projection, and coaching history and confidence is taken into account.

JVP under rated in this list. Arch probably over rated.

Top 5 talent is different than top 5 player. The list is kind off wacky...but I could see how St. Johns could possibly have 5 of the top 25 talents in the BEAST. Another reason I cant wait for the season to start, these preseason predictions and player rankings are kind of strange.

Duane Wilson at 13? I hope he turns out that good in year #1.

Also, why does Jamil Wilson get no respect at all?

Agree that you can't put Teague that high, Edwin is a great all around player but Teague played injured for the BE schedule so nobody really knows what he can do. He had surgery and is 100% healed and will be playing as many minutes as he can at center.

Well lets look at it this way. Last season D'Angello Harrison was the second top scorer in the league before being suspended. He was either first or second all season long. Chris Obekpa was the nation's leading shot blocker and JaKaar Sampson won the Rookie of the Year award. That was in the 15 team version of the league. Why would St. John's having five of the top 25 be such a stretch?
