His composite ranking is #14

I'm saying he was 9 BEFORE the reclass.

Pettigrew is very smooth, a must get. Kelly, nice player. Will he be more Knupple or more Doug Altenberger. Both good players, my guess somewhere in the middle.

chris Gandy?

I guess that I should have specified Kankakee High School, as Gandy's hometown was Kankakee, but went to Bradley-Bourbonnais HS.

To be #1, I think we'll need to be better than #20 on defense (we were #20 last year at KenPom and Torvik). We especially need to play better defense against good teams than we did last year.

We’ll likely be a 1 seed if we’re the #1 offense and #17 defense. (this past season we weren’t a top 20 defense heading into the tourney; also had some bad luck in close games/officiating)

Obviously there will be one or two super teams emerge (like Michigan).

Maybe Illinois! It's our turn!
