This sounds about right. Could finish higher if the team really gels. Could finish lower if things never quite come together. They'll make the tourney and be a dangerous team to play on any given night though. Nobody wants to play a scrappy, hard working, defend your tail off kind of team.

I'm okay with this. I think we'll end up ranked at the end of the season, and I'm just basing that on how well I've seen the team gel thus far.

Yep. I'm fine with this. He's mostly spot on with the rest of his IMO. I'd swap Florida with North Carolina and I'd move Butler up.

If we have a favorable schedule early on we can jump into the top 25 before SEC play even starts

itll be something like:

memphis
virginia
oakland
coc
(3 games iirc in puerto rico)NC State only ranked team iirc
then probably 4-6 mid major teams

+ Wake Forrest. I think that series started this year as well. I might be incorrect though.

And for sure. I could see us being ranked before the SEC starts. In fact, a strong showing in Puerto Rico could get us ranked. A game against NC State would be tough! I'd love to see Stokes and Maymon go head to head against Leslie in the paint.

Wake forest? I hadn't seen that.

I saw Virginia was starting next year but not wake forest?

I must of just pulled that one out of nowhere then because I really thought Martin scheduled a home / away with W Forest before the season started. ehh my bad.

There were discussions early last season about a possible series with UVA, Wake, and NCSU. We got UVA.
