Way Too Early Pre-Season Rankings for 22-23

My bet is that he is coming back but not because he’s not good enough for the NBA now, but because he is coming off an injury and it’s hard to go full force and show them what he is capable of doing.

looks like almost certainly top 10 and very probably top 5.

Who makes up 4 of the top 10 - 40% (or 75% of the top 4…)

Are those payouts for a $100 bet? or does it mean something else? I do not bet really.

You got it. $100 on the Coogs would pay $1400.

We are if we add a championship…or 2…we are that close.

Only 9 schools have more Final Four appearances than the University of Houston.

That’s 9 our of 350 schools. We are DEFINITELY knocking on the blue blood door

Wow, we are still holding the number 2 spot. Don’t tell coach Sampson. :grin:

2. Houston Cougars
Previous: 2

Through 12 games last season, Marcus Sasser was one of the best guards in America, averaging 17.7 points, 2.2 steals and shooting nearly 44% from 3-point range. He then suffered a foot injury and missed the rest of the season, but the Cougars were expecting him back and fully healthy next season. That still might happen, but Sasser had a great performance at the G League Elite Camp, earning a call-up to the NBA draft combine, and he told reporters that he was 50-50 on whether to return to Houston. That would be a difficult loss to swallow. On top of that, Louisiana Tech transfer Kenneth Lofton Jr. – long considered a Houston lean – opted to remain in the NBA draft. Lofton, one of the most productive big men in the country, would have given the Cougars an anchor in the post.

Projected starting lineup:

Jamal Shead (10.0 PPG)
Marcus Sasser (17.7 PPG)
Tramon Mark (10.1 PPG)
Jarace Walker (No. 10 in ESPN 100)
J’Wan Roberts (3.2 PPG)
