Ahhh, the beauty of this time of year. The weather is cooling down, The football Vols have tanked another season, and College basketball is around the corner. This season promises to be great, with all of the talent that is back on the court. Many of the top teams in America, are led by Upperclassmen that are ready to give it one last shot at glory. You have North Carolina led by their ferocious Junior Tyler Hansbrough, you have Georgetown led by their big Senior Roy Hibbert, and let's not forget about UCLA that is led by their talented Junior backcourt of Josh Shipp and Darren Collison. It seems like the upperclassmen might have the upperhand this season, but wait...
Freashmen, you gotta love them. We talk about them for years while our teams recruit these kids from the womb, but you never know until they step on campus if you have the next Carmelo Anthony, or the next Ronald Curry. We have all seen the instant jolt that some freshmen provide and we have all seen that star prospect never live up to expectations. Whatever the case, it is always exciting. This year's class seems to be another very exciting class, led by two prospects that will be valuable assets to their respective Top 5 teams; Kevin Love and Derrick Rose. Kevin Love will be a monster in the middle for the UCLA Bruins and a great addition to an already deep squad. He will see immediate playing time in the post with his tenacious rebounding and great low block scoring ability. John Wooden has already compared him to Lew Alcindor, and Bill Walton, two of the greatest UCLA big men of all time. Then you come to Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose is a silky smooth PG from Chicago that has a reputation for be as cool as the other side of the pillow. He will provide great backcourt depth and instantly battle for playing time with outstanding Sophmore Willie Kemp. With Rose, Kemp, and Chris Douglas-Roberts guiding that backcourt, Memphis will definetly be a team to reckon with in March.
I know we have just touched the tip of the iceburg, but this season promises to be another great addition in college basketball history. In the next few days I will began posting my Top 25 teams in America as well as give a conference by Conference breakdown. Here is what is on tap.
Oct. 29th- ACC
Oct. 30th- SEC
Oct. 31st- Big East

These conference will be on the slate for the first week.

Matt-
Great job! Your big boy is going to be tough to beat this year.

What a one-sided site! How about a little SEC talk if you want to keep this reader's interest.
Don't just be "The Source" for ACC propaganda.

sec is tommorow, gotta read the site post brotha. :)
I clicked on everything I could!
You have done a great job on the site. I hope you are right about The Bucs winning the conference tourney.
Pearl seems ready for the season. I hope his divorce doesn't hinder him. The Knoxville media has been great staying out of his bizz.
Coaches are basically married to their job anyway, so it may work out well after all. The Lord always seems to have a master plan!
Scott,
Thanks man! How have you been? It looks like it's going to be a fun season!
