TIERS!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[Laughing]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />
Will somebody please give Herb a lifetime contract?
<img border="0" alt="[drinky]" title="" src="graemlins/drinky.gif" /> I will not stop doing that if Georgia finishes #2 in the nation with Wilkens being their savior.
How can UVA be picked #2 in ACC and not even be on the outside looking in for the national ranking?

He also recruited the players that were a part of it.
But if you want to give the credit to the assistant, then give the credit to Herb for hiring him.
I think State could finish as high as second next year. If Wilcox stays, I think Maryland has the 2nd spot locked down, but if he's gone, then I think State has a great shot at it. I dont know why people keep picking Virginia so high. Both Mason and Watson might leave for the draft.
Wake will definitely drop...they just lost way too much. They'll still be solid, but they'll be fighting for a tourney bid with such a young team. Georgia Tech has some great young talent on their team, and they should only get better by next year. It will be interesting to see how they do without Akins, because their offense needs a good point guard. But Hewitt is a great coach, so I think he can work something out.
UNC could finish anywhere from 7th to 3rd. I'd most likely put them at 5th or 6th though. The ACC will be very balanced next year. It should be fun.
