Hey -- I've got an idea! Let's post preseason predictions a day after the season ends!

Truth is, nobody even knows who will be playing next year. Our roster seems to be pretty firm now, but who knows. I love how Georgia Tech's and Wake's freshman classes are "versatile" and "stud"... and ours apparently could be good or could suck. I would take our stud sophomore and freshmen classes over Tech's anyday. But, that's just me.

A lot will happen between now and the season. I'll be surprised if we finish that low, though....

We will finish higher than 7th, mark it down.

I mean if you finished 7th in the conference this year, you should at least be 6th at worst next year. Top 3 recruiting class, weaker ACC, more seasoned players, Jawad as a soph, etc.... The only downside is losing your top 2 scorers and rebounders.

Wake should be down. State should be down. Clemson and FSU will stay down. Duke, UVA and GT are the only ones with improvements.
