Russ Smith is staying at Louisville

[MAD]

Sounds like they will repeat.

Maybe.

Siva's leadership and heart will be missed, but Chris Jones will probably turn out to be the more consistently talented player as his replacement at PG. Dieng, however, is much harder to replace.

In any event, I think the 2013-2014 squad clearly has repeat potential. This makes them a preseason Top 5 lock.

Damn. This makes Louisville not need Ware back as badly and really brings back a scorer on the team. Combined with the others coming back and the class they'll be really good. Probably top 5.

Chris Jones and Russ Smith next year? Fastest backcourt in the NCAA next season and it's not even close.

Sounds like they will repeat.

Sounds like someone made Smith sit down and watch a tape of his craptastic performance in the Final Four.

Missing Dieng could be big. Not many big guys with his skill on the collegiate level.

Not a lock. A few other teams are going to be scary good as well (besides UK).

His decision is Russdiculous. Where you at Clark Kellogg?

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Smart move on his park and agree that the Cards have to be the preseason pick to repeat.

Chris Jones and Russ Smith next year? Fastest backcourt in the NCAA next season and it's not even close.

Though always good, their press will be even better with both those guys up front.

Can't wait until they come to Rupp, most likely a top 3 matchup.

Nothing is a lock

It all depends on your path to the FF. From there, it's a crapshoot.
