To not make the top 88 would mean we're not on their top 144, and that's really not likely. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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
