Since it is the off-season ....

ESPN is running its top 20 "Path To The Draft" series. Here is what they unveiled so far ...
http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/tag/_/name/path-to-the-draft-2013

7. UCLA
8, Michigan
9. Wake Forest
10. Texas
11. Florida
12. Georgia Tech
13. UNLV
14. Kansas
15. Memphis
16. Michigan State
17. Alabama
18. LSU
19. Ohio State
20. Syracuse

----------------------

Assuming that 1, 2 and 3 are Kentucky, Duke and UNC, who will be 4, 5 and 6?

So far only one (old) BE team has made the list So, could 4,5 and 6 all be (old) BE teams? Georgetown, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Uconn, MU, ND? Will 4,5 and 6 come from this list?

Thoughts?

Probably 'Zona, Pitt and possibly Gtown.

So the current National Champion (Louisville) and the team that won it three times since 1999 (Uconn in 1999, 2004 and 2011) will not make the list???

Negatron on the Ville. Fine, swap conn and Gtown...zona, conn and Pitt respectively.

I really don't care either way. If there's anything I like less than the NBA, it's non-marquette college teams.

Georgetown and Uconn are definitely going to be in there.

Pitt? I really cant think of many players that were drafted out of Pitt in the 90's. Even over the last ten years, Pitt hasnt been very strong. There is no way they are on the list.

In no particular order -

UNC
Duke
UK
Georgetown
Zona (Lute produced plenty of great guards, hence 'Point Guard U.'
UConn

The list would be more meaningful to me, if they removed all the McDonald's all-americans from the draft list. Most of them were going to be in NBA no matter where they went to college.

Tugg Speedman · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2013, 11:35:44 AM »

Update list

6. Arizona
7. UCLA
8, Michigan
9. Wake Forest
10. Texas
11. Florida
12. Georgia Tech
13. UNLV
14. Kansas
15. Memphis
16. Michigan State
17. Alabama
18. LSU
19. Ohio State
20. Syracuse

Here are the possibilities for the top five spots:

Kentucky
Duke
UNC
Georgetown
Uconn
Louisville

Looking like the current national champion is not making this list.

You agree?

I agree ...

Duke will get credit for Kyrie Irving. What did he play for them? About 5 games to total?

Duke is already in at No. 5

I say
1. Uconn
2. Georgetown
3. UNC

Atticus · « **Reply #14 on:** June 22, 2013, 01:37:19 AM »

If Syracuse is 20, how are we suppose to make this list? Ridiculous.

We havent had a lottery pick since we joined the BE. In comparison, Syrause has had Flynn, Johnson, Waiters and probably Williams this year. In fact, if Fab Melo went to MU, he would be the highest draft selection since Wade.

This list sucks.
