I don't think 24 is too high for us. Best yet out of the polls I've seen, but 4 for UK. Ha. Ha ha ha. I hope they have those expectations in Lexington.

Hat, think it be possible to attach the link you get these rankings from? I'd like to look at the entire poll. Thanks man.

DeCourcy's poll is in the college basketball section at www.tsn.com. Parrish is at cbssports.com and Katz is at espn.com.

Hat, I know where you stand on UT, but do you agree with UK at preseason #4?

If they end up with Wall and Cousins and Patterson and Meeks return, they're going to be really good. Four might be a bit high, but it's not totally unreasonable.

Hat, have you heard anything lately on Wall and where he is leaning? The last time I heard anything about it; it sounded like he was leaning towards Duke.

If you talk to five people, you'll get five different answers about Wall. A pure guess on my part would be that he goes to Kentucky solely because he sees how well things turned out for Derrick Rose. The only team I've heard mentioned for him that I would be stunned to see him sign with is NC State.

I think we could be better than 24! UT is a really great team! I'm not just saying this because I was born and raised a UT fan, but our boy team has great offense and defense techniques; we just got to learn how to use them smarter!

that's what my gut is telling me too, although apparently his handler made some disparaging remarks about UK's racist past that could complicate matters. I think it'll either be UK or UNC. I'd actually be surprised if he chose Duke.

"If" being the key word here, for "if" Wall doesn't come, will they have any semblance of a PG?

So, so, so many questions still at this point. what's the benefit of putting out such early polls? Just to give bball nuts something to ponder?

I have no inside info, but it sounds like UK and Duke are leading. UNC is a long shot, IMO.

Despite rumors, John Wall says he's not entering 2009 NBA draft - Luke Winn - SI.com

Clifton, Wall and Pulley met with Coach K on March 29 on the Duke campus, and one part of the Blue Devils' presentation, Wall said, was film of former point guard Jason Williams, "because they never had a point guard since him that could come off ball screens and get up and down the court." They discussed Wall's future plans (Coach K was said to be accepting of a one-and-done situation), his personality (Clifton explained that Wall has matured of late, but dealt with some "emotional scarring" from the loss of his father at a young age) and how Duke might help his image. "I'm not an easy guy to impress," Clifton said, "but I came away from that impressed."

How much does it matter what Clifton thinks? North Carolina might be the litmus test, if Roy Williams -- who Wall said hasn't called back since the Final Four -- opts to get in the mix when Ty Lawson decides to move on to the NBA. The situation there, basically, is that Williams and Clifton have no relationship -- because [Roy] Williams doesn't want to deal with figures from the AAU world, and Clifton runs Wall's D-One Sports program in Raleigh. And so Clifton, when asked about the Tar Heels, initially said, "I don't want to talk about Carolina."

Williams could still recruit Wall directly, by calling him, his mother and high-school coach at Word of God. "[Williams] is well within his right to do that," Clifton said. "And John can go to whatever school he decides to. But I honestly feel that to make that decision he's going to have to turn to his mother and turn to me and have both of us say, we support it. And I absolutely would not support him going to UNC."
