I am too, i got the athlon magazine yesterday and from reading tons of articles and predictions Tyler Smith is going to get a ton of attention this year and he is a projected mid first round pick. And in the magazine he is considered the top inside outside threat in the nation

Yeah, i wonder if he has developed a big time dangerous three point shot?

I can see why a lot of people dropped us down to 15-20 in the rankings, but by the end of the year, we'll be a top 10 team in my opinion. Everywhere i've read said not only are the recruits talented, but they fit Pearl's system perfectly.

Yea i would put us at about the 15-20 range to start the season just because so many teams have so much talented experience returning. We will be relying on a few newcomers so theres no way anyone could pick us as a top 10 team yet, but with that said i believe we have just the perfect lineup (minues a Selby) for Pearl's system and i really feel better right now about our chances of making it past the sweet 16 than i did a year ago even without the experience

I agree about our chances being better this year... fresh faces, and if those recruits can shoot the 3 every night, we'll be tough to stop. Tyler smith is the best player in the SEC, Chism will be better inside and out, and Williams seems like he will make a big, big impact.

tyler may very well be the best player in the SEC, but Calathes and Patterson may have something to say about that though... If Brian Williams can contribute significantly it will be HUGE

Calathes is filthy, i agree.
Williams shined at times last year, but disappeared at times also... couldn't figure out if it was his performance in practice or just didn't fit the rotation well.
Hopefully, when Flawda comes to TBA, we can get a nice just like football chant...

58... he was picked as a preseason 3rd team all SEC so obviously he has some expectations to live up to as a freshman which i think he will

Yeah I saw that the other day. He will be our 2nd leading scorer, and be close behind Tyler in my eyes.

Anyone besides me have decently high expectations for Cam' Tatum this year?
