I'm not too surprised to see James White walk away from Florida.He saw him play several times while he was in High School,and if I remember correctly he played for 3 schools in 4 years.
I would not be surprised to see him play over seas for a year then turn pro.He's a top 15 NBA talent pick.
Arizona is the team to beat,but I also like Kansas.
As for Maryland,I love Blake at the point and their low-post players/game.I'm just not sold on their outside shooting and overall team depth.
The Big12,SEC,and Pac10 are as strong as ever,but I still gotta go with the ACC.
The Big10 is down a bit this year.
Talking Big12:Oklahoma made a nice recruiting pick-up in hoops,getting Andrew Lavender(PG) and Brandon Foust(WF) both from Columbus Brookhaven high school,a preseason top 10 USA Today program(they are the defending big school state champs & a high flying powerhouse!).Both kids can flat-out play.I am looking forward to seeing them play again this December when they take on Akron St.Vincent-St.Mary with all everything and SI cover boy LeBron James.LeBron IS the next Kobe,and the #1 pick in next year's NBA draft.
