Howard sneaks in at #96. 15 Big East players total. 10 team conference gets 15% of the list, not bad. In addition to the 14 Big East players, we will definitely see 4 more members of the list, and have potential to see up to 4 more depending on who we see in Maui. Conclusion, we are going to get to see some great basketball talents this season.

Markus is under rated by the pundits.

Marcus below Divencenzo or whatever his name is?

Lol

Basketball is a two way game. Last season, Markus was a one way player.

He was about the best offensive player in the country.....but he was pretty close to the worst defensively as well. I am hopeful that he will maintain his offensive dominance but move his defense from "near the worst" to "below average"...or at least to "pretty bad."

Honestly, if they asked me to make the list, I wouldn't have included Markus.

"Below average" is better than "pretty bad".

"Below average" is better than "pretty bad".

I'm aware.

Anyone else think that Sam is gonna have a bigger impact than Markus this year, or is it just me?

[muwarrior69]

Wow, if Markus was 96, Rowsey should at least have been 101 based on the eye test of being a better defensive player; and yes, I think Sam is going to have a great season this year.

You really set a low bar.  I wonder what the Coaching  staff send him home to work on during the off season.  We'll see.

I believe Sam is better than Markus.
