The big news heading into this season is the number of players that decided to forgo the draft and return to school. Players such Harrison Barnes, Terrence Jones, Jared Sullinger, John Henson, Tyler Zeller, Perry Jones, Doron Lamb, all of whom probably gave up a chance to play professionally this year in Europe.
In other words, the lockout should continue forever.
Before we talk about the upcoming season, I would like to congratulate Uconn on their 2011 season, in which they defeated the two time defending national-runner up Butler in an intense, visceral, and gritty match that captured the hearts of the whole nation.
Now for 2011-2012
Your pre-season national champion:
This stacked team is lead by the Black Falcon, aka the best freshman of all time last year. So by virtual of extrapolation he should be the best sophomore of all time according to SI. He has put on about 15 lbs over the summer, and has worked on getting into the lane. He is basically unstoppable. Henson has supposedly cured his anorexia and is now capable of walking against a strong gale. He should be better at block shots and protecting the post. Kendall Marshall should have a better shot to go along with his god like playmaking ability. Tyler and Strickland are known goods, and shouldn't surprise anyone.
Your pre-season national runner-ups:
This fucker here trolled all of college basketball by committing to the defending national champions several month ago. He trolled me by forcing me to make an entry for Uconn. He was originally supposed to be in the class of 2012, where he is ranked the number one troll on ESPN, but decided to play for Uconn for the season of 2011-2012. Uconn had to basically kick a player off a scholarship to make room for this guy. He is 6'10" and plays like a guard, as you would expect from a troll who can play basketball.
Uconn also bring back Lamb, Oriakhi, Napier, Roscoe Smith, and adds D. Daniels. All their players have mutant wingspan and length.
This year will be the second time Calipari brings the number one recruiting class to Kentucky, out of the three years that he has being there. If Drummond is the troll player then Calipari is the troll coach. He gets every other coach mad by not getting caught yet for violations.
In addition to their number one class, they get back Terrence Jones, Darius Miller, and Doron Lamb.
America's favorite team for the season, because the nation can't stand the previous three teams. Sully has slimmed down to about 260, and is ready to step out for perimeter shots. Craft, Bufford, and Thomas are three important players that brings much needed experience to the Buckeyes. They'll be playing fast and small for much of the season.
