and one other early preseason Top 25 from Rivals
They have Mississippi State at # 17 and they include UConn despite the big changes there.
Not sure if the entire starting five leaves, whether putting Florida at #1 is sensible.

Looks like the PAC-10 is expected to be just as strong next season.
Also, our games against Michigan State and Butler will be huge!

Well, this could definitely change.......
Now it appears that maybe Kansas will be losing almost as much of their returning talent as Florida is.

Brandon Rush is leaning toward declaring for the NBA,

and now Julian Wright is going to do the same thing.

There is also rumor of Sherron Collins leaving.

Here is yet another early preseason 2007-2008 ranking.

They have precious few mid-majors anywhere in sight.

Gonzaga is #24
Butler is #27
SIU is #34
Wichita State is #50

I LOVE the uninformed 'drive-by' media.

There is also rumor of Sherron Collins leaving.

The rumor is growing....
Now on the KU premium board, there is discussion of a rumor about Sherron Collins transferring to DePaul, in order to be closer to his children.
It is, of course, all unconfirmed, but if it is true, then would KU be anywhere near the same with 3 starters gone?

I LOVE the uninformed 'drive-by' media.

So does Rush!

[audacious_aficionado]

yeah, basically wichita state is a joke next season. whoever has them high up is undeniably insane! there's no way they will even be fourth in the valley next year! i think the media needs to do a little more research.
