he has MU @ #9 with the following blurb:
Quote
The Golden Eagles' Jerel McNeal was the most recent Blog Q&A subject, and he shed light on the Golden Eagles' martial-arts training: "Coach [Crean] has all these black belts coming in to the gym and teaching us Tae Kwon Do twice a week for about an hour." Although McNeal says they try to refrain from hand-to-hand combat, my first thought after reading Tuesday's news that 6-7, 240-pound forward Trevor Mbakwe was ruled academically eligible was, I really hope none of the guards are paired up with him in Tae Kwon Do. Second thought: Mbakwe is a huge addition, given Marquette's dire need of a physical post presence.

other noteables:
Georgetown @ #6
Louisville @ #7
MSU @ #10
rankings only go to 16 but his listed "on the cusp" teams of note are (assuming order matters): ND #17, Duke #21, Syracuse #26, UW #28, and Pitt #30
