Cant wait to see where they rank us.

NY- wasn't sure if you meant in your rankings or theirs- W&M looks to be #4 with COC #3 (even without Barry?). Curry was such a great Duke and will be missed but I think Dalembert should rebound and have a very good Senior year- Serb and Vodo should still be effective in the front court and it will be interesting to see if Shaq takes a step forward in terms of his energy, all around play, and focus under the new coaches. He has the tools.

Also McLean should take another step forward as a Junior and Snowden should be a contributor. That's without the 2 new Sophomores who look to be rotation guys. That's a good top 8. Word is in the off season that Lukic of all people became a vocal leader for the team but I wouldn't expect much more from him on the court. There's also Satkius and Kent who while frustrating can be effective in small doses and I don't think this team will need to rely on them for more than that.
