Just going thru these predictions is a good reminder how tough this conference is. I cannot believe I have Temple at #8, but that's where they seem to be.

If you can't debate the merits of teams which certainly play into the rankings on a team rankings thread whats even the point of the thread. Gezz.

Not sure why UCF would be above them or Tulsa...they return far less, did little more, and lost their three most important players

A basketball conference with these six teams is darn good. And there's always some team from the "who cares" group that catches fire. If we get more teams deeper into the tournament it will be an outstanding league.
Sure, the geography sucks, no natural rivalries, etc but just win, baby.

Based on where things stand today.
1. Memphis
2. WSU
3. Houston
4. USF
5. Cincy
6. UCONN
7. Temple
8. UCF
9. SMU
10. Tulsa
11. ECU
12. Tulane
Cincy jumps to 4 when Jaevin Cumberland becomes official. UH jumps back to 1 once Tevin Mack makes it official. Regardless, I see 7 teams that should be battling for an NCAA tourney bid. Will be a disappointing season if we get less than 5. I’m looking at you, USF and UCONN.

Cincy has Memphis, Tulsa has Wichita, SMU, and Houston, USF and UCF, Houston and SMU, etc....

USF is the "who cares team" I see making a lot of noise this year. They have that old BigEast type way about them. Kind of like when Seton Hall was good. They're going to be that you hate having to play them team. Fkn grinders.

This is going to be a tough league.
I could see us with 9-10 teams in the NET top 100 and not a single team 150 or worse.
To me UCONN could go anywhere from 3-7, but with the way USF played last year, I had to pick them over UCONN.
I have very little confidence in this ranking. Gonna be fun

its completely impossible to project the aac right now and expect any kind of accuracy...
numerous coaching changes, like 4 teams completely imploded their rosters but then added tons of "on paper" nice players, certain teams have their "expected star" player waiting on waivers that could very well be denied
i can make a legitimate case for every aac team finishing top 5

Thank you. The books are available everywhere, although you might have to special order them in places. I turned in the new book yesterday by the way, so maybe a month before it's out. Have you seen the cover yet? Also, the non fiction WW2 book is going to the printer this week and should be available this month too.
As for Nick, I always pictured him more as a strong safety.

RE: Your Predictions AAC Basketball - Post NBA Deadline
UConn may be the ultimate wild card in the league next year. Alterique Gilbert finally has a healthy offseason (he wasn't able to practice the last 3 summers) and the hope is that with a full season under his belt, he will knock off the rust he showed last year. People forget he was a HS McDonalds All American before injuries derailed his first 2 years.
Josh Carlton was the co-most improved player in the league last year, and is apparently putting on a ton of muscle already. In a league where there isn't a ton of dominant bigs, he could flourish next year. Teams had to double him in the post at the end of the year.
UConn's recruiting class is underrated as Akok Akok has been practicing with the team since January and so some sites have dropped him off their rankings. Jalen Gaffney might be closer to a top 50 recruit than a Top 100 based on his play this year.
Add in hopeful offseason improvement for guys like Sid Wilson, Tyler Polley, Brendan Adams and Isiah Whaley, and senior leadership from Christian Vital and I think this team may surprise people. Their biggest weakness is they need another big behind Carlton.
