1) Wichita State (returns pretty much every player from at t25 team)
2) Cincinnati (return 8 of 10 top scorers)
3) UCF (return 3 of top 4 scorers, add three transfers who were good players)
4) Tulsa (return 5 of 6 top scorers)
5) SMU (loses Moore and Brown but gets 15pgg USF xfer) drops since Semi enters draft
6) Houston (lose Chicken and Dotson) get an LIU grad xfer and #5 JUCO
7) Memphis
8) UConn (have like three good players, looking for bodies, depending on what else they get)
9) Temple (lose Dingle and Brown from 7-11 AAC team)
10 Tulane (return two leading scorers from ****** team)
11) ECU (wgas)
12) USF (return less "talent" than Memphis, can't even find warm bodies)


There is a clear Tier 1 of WSU and Cinci.

UCF is a low Tier 2.

I see Tier 3(a) as SMU, Tulsa and Houston although I'm banking more on SMU's rep than what they might have on the roster.

Tier 3(b) is Memphis, UConn, and Temple. UConn made it close to 7th with a late addition from the JUCO ranks.

There is no Tier 4.

Tier 5 is Tulane, ECU, and USF.

The good thing is Memphis gets half of all its games vs. the teams I view as inferior to the Tigers. 2 each vs. UConn, USF, Tulane, and ECU and 1 vs. Temple.

All those games are winnable. Should do no worse than 6-3 in those.

Then Memphis gets five home games vs. the teams I see as placing higher. Go 2-3 in those (at worst) and maybe steal a road game out of those four and that is good for 9-9.

I respectfully disagree. I think the authors write what they perceive the current state of the program. The writers may be wrong, but their opinions are objectively derived. They share no traces with the Calipari coined "miserable" term, IMO.

fair enough...I just get tired of the constant negative drum beat from a handful of posters.

the anti-pastner crowd has simply switched targets while they peddle the same tripe IMHO.

No reason to think different. This is season one redux. Good thing we are a football school

Yesterday, this was Post #2 on the thread the OP started which is now in Smack.

RE: Media Pre-Season Predictions for Tiger Basketball
So yesterday the OP starts the Athlon 12th place finish thread. And today this one. Yet he tries to tells us he's not obsessed with Tubby, and wants only the best for the program.

One trick pony.

Now, for the 3rd day in a row, the OP has started a passive-aggressive attack Tubby thread, thinly disguised as a discussion on preseason AAC rankings. The OP's intentions are obvious.

I favored hiring a young coach, like Kevin Keatts, now at N.C. State. But some of our posters constant Tubby bashing is so over the top, that it's having the opposite affect of creating support for Tubby, IMO.

Will we get a new media thread attacking Tubby for the 4th day in a row tomorrow?

He's prolly more encouraged seeing folks get worked up. Once folks stop responding to the constant negativity, his constant negative posts will die down too. I have decided to stop. You should too IMO :)

Agreed. I made one post in his thread yesterday, Post #2, and it's now at 118 posts.

He knows what he is doing. I'll try to ignore him as you suggested.

He does it good enough to where mods can't really touch him. He has found that sweet spot for himself. Pretty sure he will post that he just wants to discuss Tiger basketball respectfully
