Ranking the BIG Coaches Newsbreak seems to have broken itself with linking its content but when you get to the read in Newsbreak option (doesn’t work) there is a small print link to read the original content??

Altman at 4 seems a bit high given recent results. And I guess you still have to list Izzo first though I think it's getting closer to not being automatic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 (edited) Found it interesting that May was at #8, Woodson at 13. McCaffery too high, Pikiell too low, Gard a little too low, Diebler way too low.

Yeah, but being it was @Purdue7, it's trolling and not very good trolling at that... If he had a game, he'd have worked Woody skimming NIL money to pay for the houses into it or something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are new guys we don't know much about, guys like Woody that haven't proven otherwise yet, and guys entering the BIG for the first time (which to me will be a hurdle to clear). Then you have the guys you know what to expect from (Painter/Izzo/etc). The only comment I will make is that Fran is too high on this list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might’ve done that in AAU because of the roster he was on but he’s n HS he’s the point guard. His brother was listed at 6’2 and that might be generous so I really don’t think he’ll grow much more.

Feels like I’d used to go into seasons knowing just about everybody in the conference who was projected to be one of the top players. With that many unknowns, it’s hard for me to argue too much with anyone on the list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
