Might as well get this started now.

I don't particularly care to bang my head against the JB wall, and I admit you are thousands of times more knowledgeable about basketball than I am...

But.....

I don't see how someone could say free throws don't matter in a game like Saturdays.  We missed 10 freebies.  Markus missed 2 free throws in the final couple minutes.  He makes both of those, we're in OT.  Individual free throws definitely mattered on Saturday.

FTsNoMatta means team FT% doesn’t mean jack when it comes to winning b-ball games.

That said, MU shot better than the avg D-I school in this game. Free throws were a big PLUS to our offense - they did the opposite of hitting us. 26/36 is A++++++ offense.

[TAMU Eagle]

Too early. Lots of transfer and recruiting decisions still to be made

[warriorchick]

Preseason rankings no matta.

[GooooMarquette]

We got this.

[Heisenberg v2.0]

Since 2003 MU ranking (AP only) has been 8 many times (2003, 2007, 2012) but never better.  Peaked at 10 this past season.

The last time MU had a better ranking than 8 was 1978 (peaked at #1 that year)

So, yes or no, will MU see a ranking of better than 8 next season?  Its best ranking since 1978.

[brewcity77]

Yes. They will open the season with a better ranking than 8.

[Charley Farley]

They will open the preseason at #7, they will end the season at #1.

[MU82]

They will open the preseason at #7, they will end the season at #1.

I like how you think.

[Marquette4life]

Symir will reclassify. Guarantee that the top 10 team experience is very valuable to him. I think with this, we will be ranked 5

Is this fact or opinion?

[fjm]

Is this fact or opinion?

I believe it is fact.

I would put money on it. He has taken his HS off of his twitter profile and has commented on playing his last HS game.
I think he’s coming and honestly I would expect he and akanno RS?

[NickelDimer]

I can’t imagine Symir would reclassify and come a year early only to redshirt

[MU82]

I believe it is fact.

I love this.

[Loose Cannon]

Plus Tax, Seems like pulling in two different directions.

[LoudMouth]

I believe it is fact.

For future reference...this is the definition of an opinion.

Don’t worry it’s not just you here that doesn’t know the difference

[TAMU Eagle]

If symir has made a decision,  he has yet to inform the coaching staff.

I do think the reclassify and redshirt makes sense

That’s fine. But I’m right.

I bet playing senior year sounds fun. Because you’re playing.

But I also bet being in college a year earlier and being part of a really good team is sounds even better. Even if you’re redshirting.

High school: play. (No ncaa tourney, no traveling around with the team. No trip to Europe this summer....)

College: play. OR RS: and no play buuuut trip to Europe, traveling, being in the fiserv. Being part of the team.

I also hope he reclassifies and I think it makes sense for him to do so (redshirt or no redshirt).

However, I think I saw something posted that he's playing AAU again this summer. Do guys usually play AAU the summer going into college?

[Jay Bee]

That’s fine. But I’m right.

Would you like to make a wager? Sounds like you're 100%. PM me.

20-1 odds seems reasonable. I've got l00t. Let's do it.
