Giles should come back fine - he had a more serious injury on the other leg and came back with 100% (or improved) explosiveness and skill, never was an issue.

Here's hoping he chooses duke tomorrow.

Was looking at rosters in the B1G today. Legit forgot AJ Hammons is still at Purdue. Feel like he's in his 6th year or something now.

K with three #1 classes in a row.

2016 might be the best of the bunch, which feels impossible with how good the 2014 group of Okafor/Jones/Winslow/Allen were. But Giles and Tatum and Jackson is a ridiculous core on that same level, and DeLaurier also looks pretty good. And Duke might even get Bolden, who know.

seems to be very little chance jackson goes to UK. They don't even appear to be on the radar.

Michigan State, maybe? You could make an argument for Duke > MSU or MSU > Duke if Josh goes to MSU. Not sure how the algorithms would judge it. might depend on if Duke adds anyone else.

How would a class with the #1 and #2 players and another top 15 guy not be the #1 class? Jackson should just reroute and go to Duke. No reason not to win a title while you're in college if you're only gonna be there one year.

Haven't heard anything about Jackson to UK. I am expecting UK to end up with De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk, which would be an elite guard duo.

What's the TL;DR on these NCAA drafts? I couldn't really follow how it worked but am interested.

You draft a fantasy team of college basketball players, except there's no scoring. Then you laugh at the people whose highly touted freshmen bust, the guy who draft seniors in the second or third rounds brag

Doesn't seem that horrible. They're the #1 ranked d2 team in the country and won 32 games last year.

Fran was running some pretty crazy lineups with the freshman. I think he used the game a bit to much as a way to figure out who is going to red shirt as he said at least 2 will be. Still doesn't excuse the loss though.

now they have to play DIII teams. AIA etc would give the teams a lot better competition then what they get now. also probably took some money out of former college player's pockets. I always loved it when Marathon Oil came to town in early November when I was a youngster

according to Kenpom the 5 most improved teams are SLU, Wright St. Fresno State, USC, Boston U. the 5 going the other way. Murray St., Clev St. St. John's, GA Southern, and E KY.

5 most improved offenses
Oregon St
Loyola MD
USC
SLU
Cent Arkansas

5 most improved defenses
Siena
Northwestern St.
The Citadel
Drake
Duquense
