Congratulations, you know more about our squad and the ACC at large than 99% of national outlets. Legitimately. Well done, dude. It’s insane to me how little effort goes into articles on national websites nowadays. AI slop, no research, no knowledge, just pure bullshit. I’m excited for this season, PK has an elite roster. It’s got size, skill, talent. It’s got youth, it’s got experience. It’s got everything you’d want out of a roster. And the chemistry seems to be high as well. He seems to know how to get guys connected in a fast way, and I think that’s a big reason why we were able to have the success we had last year. Injuries ultimately derailed it, but we saw all we needed to see. On paper, this is the best Louisville team in well over a decade. I do feel the need to point out a couple guys that barely got mentioned - Aly Khalifa (the best passing big man in basketball outside of Jokic) who has transformed his body and is in the best shape he’s ever been in. He could be a difference maker for us. Him in the high post, dishing out to elite 3P shooters, is going to be hard to defend. And then Khani Rooths, an extremely talented kid who showed flashes last year. I expect a big leap from him - he’s hit the weight room, he’s changed his shooting form, and he’s all the way bought into what PK and staff are selling. Otherwise, you nailed our roster breakdown. The guards are obviously the highlight but I do feel like our frontcourt is being slept on (due to relative unknowns) More on reddit.com

I think Arizona is way too low. Tommy Lloyd said that Motiejus Krivas was going to be the most important player on the team last season and got injured in November. Last year's starting point guard Jaden Bradley returns, and so does Tobe Awaka, who had 12 games last season with double digit rebounds and he's only media guide 6'8". Anthony Del Orso is returning and will come off the bench as a great backup point guard and 3 point specialist. Arizona also brought in the 3rd best recruiting class in the nation. The 'Cats are bringing in 7 players. Two 5 stars, three 4 stars, and one 3 star, as well as a center from NBA Academy in Senegal. Oh, and that 3 star is Bryce James. Koa Peat and Brayden Burries were McDonald's All Americans and Peat also called out for Tommy Lloyd for the USA U19 team.  Arizona's going to be fast and athletic, with a great combination of youthful guards and forwards, and veteran leadership in the front court and at point guard.  The 'Cats only have 6 non-conference games on the schedule right now, but there aren't any easy games. Zona opens the season against Florida, and plays UConn, Bama and Auburn in addition to UCLA and SDSU. A tough non-con makes for a better team. More on reddit.com
