    Likely I suppose. If they had Villanueva I would like them more.

    BTW-I'm already ready for next year's NCAA season lol.

    So am I, so am I..

    Villaneuva leaving is best for the team.. He has had NBA on his mind since he came out of HS. He flirted declaring out of HS, then his first year at UConn he won the ring, so he has nothing left to prove.. And with Marcus Williams, Rudy Gay, and Josh Boone in addition to quality depth, UConn will be one of the favorites going into the 2005 season.

    I must admit I didn't see much of UCONN so I wasn't totally familiar with some of their guys they have now. Read an ESPN article about them and they sound posed to make a run at that title.

    I'm not very big on knowing some of these top players in the NCAA. If their team makes it to the tourney, and they play spectacular then I will get to know their names. As always, I predict Connecticut to have a big year every year. They always have some of the most talented players in the NCAA. I'll get to know the players names as soon as they start shining.

    They should be the favorite in the Big East, even though West Virginia should be right there, too.

    West Virginia played very well in the tournament. I'm not exactly of knowledge of whose leaving and coming, but I do expect to see them around next year. They were a very strong and defensive team. I wouldn't doubt to see them at the top of the BE.

    Villanova will be in the pre-season top five as well, and yes West Virginia should be up there, but don't forget the Louisville Cardinals. They lose their best player Fransisco Garcia to the NBA, but they will be playing at a very high level next season.

    Villanova and WV have much of their nucleus returning, Louisville should be good again, and UConn will be UConn...Georgetown is pretty young too, should be another good Big East season.

    Yeah, he could certainly use another year or two IMO.

    He probably will go in the late teens/early twentys.

    If he stayed, his stock would only drop. JMO.

    Does the name Terrence Morris ring a bell?
