    It cut off. I am desperate to know what Davidson's odds of winning it all are!

    Never said it was. Their ceiling is national champ.

    Their likely spot, IMO, is much lower than their pre-season ranking.

    The ranking is as much about how little talent is left in CBB and Calipari's coaching acumen with young players as it is about the team itself. IMO, this team is short athletically (5 great athletes, little else), on the bench (nobody to count on and two 50/50 guys) and shooting (only Wiltjer is a knock-down guy). Not only that, this may be the first Calipari team that will be outside the top 20 in total defense, as Wiltjer's not good, Noel and Cauley-Stein are freshmen, Poythress has a questionable motor, and Harrow is short and slight.

    Calipari says they'll run, run, run. I hope so. I love when teams do that. I think they'll be fun to watch play the DDMO, especially with Wiltjer camped in the corner. They could score 80+ a game just about every game. But they'll struggle, IMO, to stop anyone. Especially early. And once teams in the SEC slow it down (and they will), I don't know who'll end up able to score one on one.

    That's a reasonable take, Scrap.

    Those guys in Vegas weren't able to build those big hotels by not knowing how to set a line, however.

    Harrisons committing tomorrow.

    And I'll hold judgement across the board on the shooters until I see how Mays does in Rupp.

    Anyone can shoot at Wright State in games that don't matter. But we've seen guys like Barbour, Carrier, etc, who flat out were TERRIBLE with any sort of pressure on them.

    I tend to agree with Scrap.

    I will make one prediction though, I do think by the end of the season Archie Goodwin will be your starting PG. I can actually see a lineup of Archie, Poythress, Wiltjer, Nerlens, and WCS on a given night.

    Sounds like the Harrison twins are announcing for Kentucky today as well.

    I am looking forward to seeing how Harrow does. I would think he would be ahead any point guard Cal has had since he has been in the system for a year.

    Yes, I'm sure academics played a part. See you two next June.
    Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.

    James Young to announce tomorrow and the only school that he has really had any contact with is Kentucky.

    Cats will have three of the top 5 recruits according to ESPN.com and Cal is not done. Julius Randle has also been recruited heavily by Kentucky as well and Andrew Wiggins, considered by many to be the top player in 2014, could reclassify and join them.

    This could be the best recruiting class of all time.

    So in other words, it's Calipari's most recent recruiting class.
