i hope the hair helps Rios with his game. need him to be a consistent contributor off the bench this year. plus wouldn't hurt if he could play PG with Hurdle at the two at times to give McClinton some time off and let Hurdle take more of an aggressive role offensively. I think Hurdle can handle that role of go to guy while McClinton is out if he doesn't have to be the primary ball handler.

I think the ACC is going to be ultra competitive this year. The truth of the matter is FSU, Maryland and Georgia Tech all have freshman who are likely to make a big impact and you never know is Rice could carry BC. I think we'll be good but you don't get anything easy in this league.

My feeling about Asbury is that DeQuan Jones will take his minutes this year anyhow.

How many votes did Jones get for Rookie of the year?

My thinking is that Brian Asbury really has to step up this season. No more days off for him, no more simply dissapering when big games roll around. D. Jones will help depth wise but if Asbury mans up we'll be tough to beat.

I think being picked so high could have an adverse affect on the boys. Let's wait and see how the season plays out.

Wake Forest has a bunch of highly touted freshmen who may not pan out.

I think Virginia Tech is a more dangerous team to be worried about finishing 3rd.

Maryland being 7th is a joke. Do you know how much they've lost inside coming into the season?
