• DU's final RPI was actually 115 at the end of the season. (NT) -- CLK, Saturday, September 25, 11:08:07am
  • For a .500 team, not too shabby. -- El Duque, Saturday, September 25, 11:45:17am

• It never occurred to me that we wouldn't be in the top 100. We were 69 last year in this countdown, have four of five starters returning, an A10 first-teamer and potential POY, and likely at least one A10 All-Freshman member. I think we will be listed as probable NIT invitees. (NT) -- Slim, Sunday, September 26, 08:08:16am
  • I think you are right, and if DU cracks this list (for whatever it is worth), then you have to figure that possibly 8 A10 teams will then be in the top 100. Not bad. (NT) -- CLK, Sunday, September 26, 01:15:04pm

• The first A-10 shows up..and it's.... -- TMH, Monday, September 27, 10:14:33pm
  • Wow! That means there are probably 9 A10 teams in the top 100. X, UD, TU, SLU, UR, DU, RI, GW and Charlotte. (NT) -- duq81, Monday, September 27, 10:42:06pm

• wow so this means that Duquesne could possibly crack top 90 eh? (NT) -- lilpav30, Thursday, September 30, 11:58:59am

• Top 144......... -- xlopjoe, Monday, October 04, 11:24:48am
  • To not make the top 88 would mean we're not on their top 144, and that's really not likely. (NT) -- duq81, Monday, October 04, 02:36:17pm
  • we were #69 on this list last season. I don't think we'll be rated that high again. Somewhere in the 80's or high 70's (NT) -- Slim, Tuesday, October 05, 11:09:21am
    • I think the team will be better this year than last. So from an outside perspective, they might weigh that Mel is gone but in reality we gained so much more in TJ and company-Martin, Jones, Wright and Talley. I also think you will see much improvement with Marhold after his eye surgery. I think TJ and Mike push Eric to take it to an even higher level. Damian plays out of his mind this year. (NT) -- DUDude., Wednesday, October 06, 02:03:43pm
      • The ? is the center/big man position. If Martin can come in and play 5 at times or if Peggau steps up, we'll be able to beat those teams with a big guy banging the boards. Gotta hit the foul shots. Killed us last year. Billy should play well with his experience (no unnecessary fouls). If he can get on fire the way he was against Pitt, wow. I am truly excited about the team this year. (NT) -- DUDUDE., Wednesday, October 06, 02:28:37pm
        • If we shoot free throws well this year we'll be a good team, if not, we'll be mediocre. (NT) -- VBC, Wednesday, October 06, 04:57:12pm
          • Like. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, October 06, 04:59:33pm
      • Got to keep in mind that last year's projections with regard to Bolding, were based on his play the previous year versus D1 competition. The freshmen look to be good, but until they produce against college competition, some people are going to be skeptical. Better prospects than TJ have failed to deliver when they moved up in competition, just as some unheralded players turn out to be studs. Time will tell. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, October 06, 02:57:54pm
        • I agree. Now I know its summer league- But TJ looked really good. Time will tell. (NT) -- DUDUde., Wednesday, October 06, 03:42:55pm
          • His play in the summer league was very encouraging, as was Talley's. I just don't want to get too excited. Dante Taylor and Aaric Murray were All Americans, and they struggled greatly as freshmen. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, October 06, 04:49:41pm
            • I understand your reluctance about getting too excited on the current freshmen, although here is my take on it. -- TMH, Monday, October 11, 03:25:41pm

• Hard for me to believe we are higher than ND or NCState, but do see us higher than PSU. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Monday, October 11, 03:30:29pm
  • After finishing at .500 last year, we're being given a pretty significant vote of confidence with the #74 ranking. (NT) -- xlopjoe, Monday, October 11, 11:52:51pm

• The Dukes have been tabbed as Preseason #74. Link to Write Up (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Monday, October 11, 09:25:39pm
  • Joel wright & Martin????? Does this change the preseason ranking? (NT) -- Ironduke81, Tuesday, October 12, 08:15:32am
    • I am not sure if they changed the ranking but from what I saw with Joel"Air Jamaica" Wright, he has hops, power and is very quick. He has one of those huge arm spans. Looking forward to watching him play. (NT) -- DUDUDE, Tuesday, October 12, 08:40:05am
  • Go Dukes! This freshman class is going to be exciting to watch. The last I heard (about three weeks ago) Martin had not yet qualified. He is expected to qualify. It appears to me just the typical NCAA back log. (NT) -- CLK, Tuesday, October 12, 08:18:51am
    • If my memory serves me correctly, didn't Bill Clark have to sit out the Canadian trip due to Clearinghouse issues and then graduated in 3 years :-)? (NT) -- TMH, Tuesday, October 12, 10:05:00am
      • TMH, good memory. If I recall, both Bill and Damian didn't make the trip due to clearinghouse issues. Baldonado didn't make the trip due to Visa issues and we all know what happened to him while the Dukes were in Canada. (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Tuesday, October 12, 10:21:03am
