Florida State is one... Big time freshman class, tons of talent. They will have some big upsets this '15-16 season, trust.

Stephen f Austin and Belmont will run their conferences and will be great teaser additions this year

If I recall correctly, I think Belmont has a big game against a power 5 (6) conf team early on, like first or second week.

I looked at scheds but not positive. Anyway, this type of spot is good for those types of teams to cover.

Miami Fla. could be a real sleeper!

Miami Fla. could be a real sleeper!

All depends on Angel Rodriguez. He took down Florida and Duke almost single handedly but then he turned to trash, chucking up a millions shots at <40%

If he's good, and McClellan remains a baller, then I like the squad with Jekiri dominant down low too.

I'll be doing more research later this week.

We need to prep up for the action

start off right.

Wichita State.

Wichita State.

Not exactly a sleeper but they should win their conf with ease. UNI lost Seth Tuttle so they won't be nearly as good, while the Shockers return one of the best backcourts in the country again with Baker and VanVleet

Things I look for:

- Seniors and Juniors who started last year returning - GOOD.
- Freshman and Sophomores heavy in starting rotation - BAD. (real big schools can be exceptions if talent is high)
- Bet against lower-middle tier teams who lost players but are still overvalued due to last season record.
- Cocky statements from team/coach a positive for early confidence.

Example:

Loyola, which returns four starters and eight of its top nine scorers from last year, raises the curtain on the 2015-16 season on Friday night when it hosts UTSA at Gentile Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Ramblers won the CBI last year.

Excellent insights.

A mathematician named Robert Klein used to put out a very comprehensive statistical analysis of college basketball players. The most improvement on average came from freshman to sophomore year. Second most was from junior to senior year. Obviously, times have changed and many players don't stay in school that long. Furthermore, the training and experience for players (especially elite players) comes at a much younger age than the old days. Some of these kids are ready to play at a high level right away.
