He was starting and getting 30mpg not like he was being "Pookied."

Is he a guy that needs to "get his" because he wants to be one the NBA radar and won't be able to at Nova?

They probably won't be top 15 if they lose their top scorer and 3 starters in total.

The assumption is that Ennis stays, so they return 6 of top 8 players from the #2 team in the country, bring in 5* PG (#17 overall) and 2 other 4*.

Safe bet to be top 15, likely Top 10 if Ennis stayed to see things through.

Maybe he's scared of competition. Not a good trait.

Nobody ever listens to Saluki.

11. VILLANOVA

Notable players definitely gone: Darrun Hilliard, JayVaughn Pinkston, Dylan Ennis
Others expected to leave: None
Notable players expected to return: Ryan Arcidiacono, Daniel Ochefu, Josh Hart, Phil Booth, Kris Jenkins
Others expected to join the roster: Jaylen Brunson, Donte Divincenzo, Tim Delaney
Why the Wildcats are ranked here: The Wildcats return enough to win the Big East. A Jaylen Brunson-Ryan Arcidiacono backcourt should be tons of fun.

6. Villanova Wildcats

Don't forget just how good Villanova was. Sure, it's tempting -- even coach Jay Wright admitted that the Wildcats' second straight first-weekend tournament loss, this time as a No. 1 seed, would "define" the outside world's impression of his program. But still: Nova was a buzz saw in 2014-15, a team that spent two-plus months relentlessly shredding one of the nation's deepest conferences (the Big East) and -- even with departures to account for -- it's not hard to picture a similar level of performance in the season to come. Darrun Hilliard II and JayVaughn Pinkston leave massive holes to fill, and the unexpected April transfer of guard Dylan Ennis added another. But co-Big East Player of the Year Ryan Arcidiacono is back, along with starters Josh Hart and Daniel Ochefu and immensely promising sophomore wing Kris Jenkins. Meanwhile, Wright is adding an elite recruit to the mix: No. 2-ranked point guard Jalen Brunson. Villanova looks like one of the best, most versatile teams in the country once more -- no matter what happens next March.

GP suggested Duke - who has no PGs on their roster

They'll be hard to beat. What kid can turn down a starting PG role at Duke served up on a silver platter?

Plus, he'll be on national TV during prime time twice a week. Nothing like TV exposure to get noticed for the next level.

Having said that, our TV package is better than it was.

We may have one extra spot available next year we didn't expect as well ...

While we're on the subject that doesn't seem like a bad idea. They have a good coach, usually get the right players and play the game the right way. I might take you up on that offer!
