  1. Mario Chalmers, Russel Robinson, and Sherron Collins are better than most players on this ridicoulous list.

  2. Mario Chalmers is a shooting guard, Sherron Collins won't start so I didn't include him, and Russell Robinson was one of the last players I left off.

    Who would you like me to take off for Robinson, by the way?

  3. You know how I feel about Gordon being ranked 7th, so we'll just leave it at that.

    Overall, good job with the rankings.

  4. James is too high. After last year I would think everyone would realize how overrated he is. I wouldn't mind seeing Wallace bumped up two spots, but no big deal.

  5. Brandon Ewing and Brad Jones are listed in others to watch as top back court but neither gets props in the guard categories.

    Ewing has been named to an all conference team both years.

    He was named to the 5 man all tournament team as a freshman.

    He is the first sophmore in school history to get to 1000 points

    He was named to USBWA and Coaches Association all region teams as a sophmore.

    By far the most under rated guard in the country.

  6. Why is Ramel Bradley on this list, but Sundiata Gaines isn't? Bradley scores a little more, but Gaines averages more assists, has a better assist to turnover ratio, averages more steals and more rebounds per game.

    Additionally, the coaches named Gaines 2nd team All-SEC last year and the AP named him honorable mention All-SEC. Bradley did not receive any honors.

    Has Bradley suddenly leaped over Gaines based on off-season workouts?

  7. Good to see that you have Dan Ruffin from Bradley on the list. He and Croach are a great back court combination

  8. I realize that Maynor of VCU is the "hot" mid-major PG - but take a look at what happened last season, on VCU's home floor, when Bradley and Daniel Ruffin came to town. It was obvious to anyone that watched that Ruffin was the better point.

  9. How is Rahmon FLetcher doing at UWGB?

  10. I know many have not heard of him but would Lanny Smith from Houston get honorable mention? He's finally healthy this year.
