In recruiting players are put into two categories. They are either “prospects” or “suspects.” As we end the first month of the basketball season I would place the following teams in the “Prospect Category.”
North Carolina— Hansborugh’s energy is contagious
UCLA— Overcome injuries to gind out victories
Memphis— Early blooming for the Rose
Georgetown— Veterans with a new wrinkle
Butler— Basketball IQ and Marksmanship at it’s best
Creighton— Early season wins over Depaul and Nebraska (Altman is a maestro!)
George Mason— Larranaga has the horses pulling in the same direction
Texas A & M—Turgeon picks up where Gillespie left off
“Suspects”
Arizona— Loss at home to Virginia and on the road to Kansas (When will Olsen be back?)
Kentucky—A lot of talent that needs fine tuning
Stanford—Double digit loss to Siena
Oregon—Double digit loss to St. Mary’s
Kansas—Injured backcourt must get healthy/Inconsistent front court play must be solved
