Thought I saw where both the FAU guys announced they were returning.

The one bad loss doesn't invalidate their squad but their squad was never as good as it was hyped to be either. 

They got a tremendous amount of hype mileage out of beating subpar Gonzaga and Duke teams early and then were gifted a Charmin soft first half of the conference schedule. Worse for them, I don't really see that they addressed their glaring weaknesses in the offseason.

Don't squeeze the Charmin.

If he commits, I'd be happy to have him. If there's one thing we can be confident in, it is that Woody is not going to promise starts, playing time or otherwise blow smoke. A commitment would indicate he's at least open to coaching and competing for playing time. 

The kid definitely has some tools. If he is willing to accept coaching and works hard, he could be a dynamic player capable of making things happen on the court. My biggest concern would be his lack of strength, if he can improve any in that area and learn how to use the strength he has better, he could be a matchup nightmare for opposing teams.

Also, their new 7'2" stiff Berg is a Ginger. I thought that needed to be stated. 

I guess that is better than him being a Mary Ann.

Highly ranked, yes, but I don't see them overtaking Kansas to get to #1 in the initial polls. 

They may not but they'll have a case. College basketball wise, Edey is just that good. Will Purdue have the season they had last year? No clue but they'll be good and I'm sure they'll be pissed.

Head to head, I simply can't see Purdue matching up with Kansas.  Dickinson with proper coaching makes the Edey advantage minute and Kansas' 2-5 are better at every spot.

They were pissed before the Fairleigh Dickinson game:

He feasted on Purdue at UM too. Averaged about 20-5-2 in 4 career games on 54% FG and 56% from 3 on 4 attempts/game. Rebound numbers were down, but only averaged more points against OSU in-conference.

Probably a better bench, too.

Kansas is the clear #1 entering next season.

Tennessee could have something to say about that.  They picked up Ledlum and Knecht and they might still be options 4 and 5 in their lineup.

Also, if the Cupps connection is true then he should be an asset and not a distraction. He’d be onboard with what Woody is wanting.

Huh? Both of those squads were kenpom top 10. So was Marquette who they also beat. They won the conf and conf tourney.  
 

It’s hilarious that we swept them and they lost to a 16 seed, but they were legit good. One of their biggest weaknesses was that they had freshman guards. I think you can reasonably expect them to be better next year.  
 

If Edey comes back they’ll be a legit top 5 squad. Top ten, at worst.

Purdue "pissed off" scares me less than the 100 farts I've had this morning. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Kansas will definitely be #1. Purdue, Duke, FAU, Tennessee maybe to finish out the top 5 in some order. Texas will probably be top 10. Rankings will be interesting I think.

Kentucky needs to pick up some dudes for sure after missing. In two years all freshmen could be successful, but right now they are playing against 22-25 year olds so it is much different than the past.

[hoosierbgh]

Somebody has to be in the Top 10 even in a down year. Neither Gonzaga nor Duke were as good as they normally are last season. Duke was solidly in bubble territory mid way through the conference season. They were also a better team at the end of the season than when Purdue beat them. Gonzaga improved as well. 

Purdue's biggest problem wasn't that their guards were freshman it was that their guards are extremely limited. That won't change this season. Their second biggest problem was that Edey was never going to get away with the BS in the tournament that he got away with during the conference and pre-conference seasons. They're a one trick pony whose one trick can easily be mitigated by officials. That hasn't changed either. If Purdue ends the season in the top 5, that says more about the season than it does about Purdue.

FAU may be in the top five....but they really aren't top five regardless of the final four run.  It's going to be really difficult to catch lightning in a bottom twice.  Heck, if Memphis hadn't turned the ball over with 5 seconds left FAU wouldn't have made it out of the first round.  That's not meant to take anything away from the great job Dusty May did, just they are ripe for regression.
