    Kentucky was the fourth pick.

    (Kansas, Duke, UNC, then UK.)

    Mark Few was caught drunk driving in Idaho last night. I suspect Gonzaga will give Few a second chance.

    No one hurt? I suspect there won't be any protest against Few's actions on campus.

    It will be interesting.....he is well liked by much of the media, but there is a segment of the media that are not high on him because of some non-basketball opinions he has expressed over the years. I will be interested to see if they attempt to take their pound of flesh. Has any reports indicated the amount in his system? Just wonder if it was driving home from a dinner with friends type of slightly over the limit.....or was guy out just being a danger to others on the road with no reasonable explanation?

    Will be curious to see how Illinois does long term losing two of their top assistants.

    I know there are some Dayton fans on here.....it appears the WVU and Dayton will be matched up this year in the preseason annual "secret" scrimmage.

    Is either school on "double secret probation?"

    Re: NCAA Basketball 2021-2022: Student Athlete Free Agency Extravaganza!

    Going on the record.....this years WVU team will be significantly better than preseason projections/expectations. WVU did not receive a single vote in the preseason AP Poll, and has been projected either 5th or 6th on most Big12 projections. I kind of get it....a lot of new pieces and the team lost Deuce McBride and Derek Culver. The team probably has a lower ceiling than going into last year with McBride, Culver and Tshiebwe, but I think this teams pieces will work better....and win more games.

    Last night was the first time I got to see this years team play in an exhibition against Akron who is projected to be in the upper half of the MAC this season. WVU only won by 15 points, but Akron made a late run well after the game was decided to close the gap as WVU spent much of the night with a 30ish point advantage. WVU has a fairly light non-con schedule this year, and it should help them have time to clean up their play with half of the roster being new.....but the potential was clear. Again, just want to be on the record when this team is climbing the rankings in January "out of nowhere".

    Thoughts from the exhibition game....

    - Taz Sherman was unstoppable. Scored 29 points on 10-14 shooting and only played 22 minutes. Him and Sean McNeal have the green light from Huggins (which is rare) and are a threat to pull up anytime after passing half court. I expect Taz to be among the leaders in college basketball scoring this season.

    - I think Huggins found his next Deuce McBride in Freshman Kobe Johnson. A under recruited Guard out of Ohio, that flashes big time talent. He may be a year away from major impact (similar to Deuce), but he will get real minutes this season.

    - Isaiah Cottrell looked like he never missed a beat coming off an ACL injury that ended his Freshman campaign last year. He is 6'10" with a silky 3 point shot. If healthy, will be a lock to play in the NBA.

    - Jalen Bridges, a 4 Star recruit coming off a solid RS Freshman season is expected to break out this year, but he was not aggressive enough in the exhibition game.

    - Sean McNeal...probably the best pure 3 point shooter on the roster, had an off night....but showed he has little to no hesitation to pull up from anywhere past half court. He will have multiple 30 point nights this season.

    - Derek Culver is gone, but we have 4 bigs that will get the job done. Each are a little different and at least 3 of the 4 will play most nights. They are more in the mold of defensive rim protectors and rim runners in contrast to Culver who was more of a low post scorer. While Culver was more talented on offense, this group is a better fit for the style of the offense this year which will mostly be perimeter oriented 4 out basketball.

    - PG is a question mark....but it appears there is not really a true PG on this roster. Returning defensive specialist Kedrian Johnson got the start last night, and Old Dominion transfer Malik Curry got heavy minutes....but he is more of a get to the rim scoring guard. Last night, 4 or 5 different guys brought the ball up the court and set up the offense which is probably the plan for the season. I would expect Kobe Johnson to eat into those minutes a little more as the season progresses.

    - Defense showed a ton of energy compared to last season....was much more aggressive and even showed the return of Press Virginia at different points in the game. They forced Akron into 20 turnovers.

    This is a deep athletic roster that can hit shots. They may not win the Big12 which is projected to be the #1 conference this season, but they will have an impact on the conference race. It is definitely a NCAA tournament team that will win 20 or more games during the season.
