I have them as the number two team right now, behind KansasEverybody is coming back, besides our sixth man Jeremy HuntThey have a top ten recruiting class in almost everyone's lists (we are usually somewhere between 9-12)They have Derrick Rose coming, and Jeff Robinson, who literally took his game to the next level for him in his senior year.When theyget into conferance play, Derrick Rose is going to dominateThey will still have Calipari.All of their players will gain a yearSame starting lineup..besides adding a future superstaranyways, where do you think their preseason ranking is next yearMy projected 12 man for them,PG-Derrick Rose-FRSG-Chris Douglas Roberts-JRSF-Antonio Anderson-JRPF-Robert Dozier-JRC-Joey Dorsey-SRBench:Willie Kemp-SOAndre Allen-SRDoneal Mack-SOKareem Cooper-JRJeff Robinson-FRTre'Von Willis-SOPierre Niles-SOThey have these two top 50 recruits with these two twins, but they are going to prep school that yearMemphis should get ready for what maybe their best season ever next year
I've seen Jeff Robinson play couple times this year, really nice player, I think Capilari will make him a stud at MemphisDerrick Rose will be a phenomBut ............................................ memphis is pahetic and is a fu*kin choker!!!!! omg I hateee douglass robersts!!!!
why the hell is everybody hating on memphis...and how are the Tigers chokers? We are far from that.Playaofthegame...I still havent figured out why you have a grudge against memphis.We are also getting a really nice transfer coming over as well. I really think next season Dozier is going to be a 15ppg player, Antonio Anderson keeps developing Memphis is going to be really good. IMO, if Memphis this year can make a deep run, everybody comes back, Memphis would be ranked top 3 in the nation. We'll see.

And then we have most of this year's bench that was good for a college team.Besides - **** the bench. Gordon be dropping 20 like it nothing. And D.J. White will most likely be back.
Memphis this year - I dont know.. Memphis next year - will be a top 5 team, Rose coming in, plus Dorsey is a freaking monster, CDR can shoot/very athletic, Dorsey is a very good NBA prospect and I like how he plays..

Look at Texas, they got Durant droppin 30 a night, Abrams shooting lights out from 3, and Augastin driving at will and dishing out 10 a game. They had no bench at all and now there out of the tourny in the 2nd round. You can't have 1 or 2 stars and no bench and expect to win.

I've got to start my homework but if you're interested look it up and look at the incoming recruits.Besides, I knew Texas would lose early - I just knew - but I have a feeling about next year's I.U. team. Plus I'm a homer. :winkglasses:
Memphis also has a guy names Jeff Robinson, and that recruit I mentioned earlier, was like a top 35 recruit. And Memphis has one thing IU doesn't have....experience. Anyways...we are just better and deeper. We dont rely on one player...and we wont next season. Rose might stand out, but if he isnt in the game...we're just as good.

Repeat this 5 times to yourselfConference USAConference USAConference USAConference USAConference USA
im not overrating them, I see them for what they are. But next season, your talking about the same team that is going to the sweet sixteen..and maybe further..only getting better with the top highschool prospect in the nation, a transfer who was ranked top 30, another recruit who is ranked top 30 this year...and a pair of twins that are said to be very good. Not to mention all of our players are pretty young and will only get better.
