Seriously, I know Edmund Sumner doesn't have much experience, but watch out. I believe he is going to surprise a lot of people and soon.

#30 is in that group that is the worst possible place to be. Right now(not counting SMU who still yet to come)- they would be the top 8 seed. Which is great, save for the fact that you are stuck with a 1 in the 2nd round- an normally in a non favorable location(like a UNC or Duke in Raleigh, or a Kansas in St Louis or Oklahoma City).

Odd article. It leads with a guy I have never heard of, Ashanti Burgess, as one of four new players. He must be a walk-on with (perhaps) a scholarship this year because Xavier has one to give. But if the kid from Canada shows up on campus in January as the recruiting sites say will happen, this Burgess kid is off scholarship. Leading with that kid makes me wonder how much the writer actually knows about this team. Very shoddy research.

Burgess is a walk-on, and this article was poorly researched and written.

Yep. Now that you mention it, you have talent at the level of JP Macura running around in the Cintas Center, yet Mr. Burgess lands up front in the article.

Early pre-season drivel to give us something to discuss, and nothing more.

Utah is ranked 50th and seeded 10th; Pitt 49th and NIT bound. Dayton is ranked 38th and seeded 7th; Xavier is ranked 30th and seeded 8th. What am I missing?

Georgetown is #26.

[sdeerwes]

Again Georgetown is ranked #26 and if you check the bracketology Georgetown has a 7 seed. Cincinnati is ranked #27 and has a 5 seed. The rank vs the seed in this Top 144 makes no sense.
