2009 College Basketball Season Preview – Ryno previews this season top 25 NCAA basketball teams highlighting key players for each team. Be sure to stay tuned as we’re going to soon be releasing full team previews for the better teams in college basketball starting this week!
2009 Villanova Wildcats Season Preview – This underrated group is most likely a sweet 16 or great 8 team at worst and may find a way to sneak into the final four this year. Scottie Reynolds leads one of the best backcourts in the nation.
2009 Texas Longhorns Season Preview – The Horns have just as good of shot as anybody to make it to the final four and win the whole thing. Damion James gives them a legitmate presence on the floor as well as 6’10” big man Dexter Pittman who will rip down plenty of boards and be a force in the paint. The team will be run by Jai Lucas who at 5’10” may be undersized but is blessed with the speed and quickness that his Dad and former NBA player John Lucaas possessed. Throw in Frosh sensation Avery Bradley and you’ve got a well rounded and VERY respectable starting lineup.
2009 Kansas Jayhawks Season Preview – This team has what might quite possibly be the best point guard and best center in the nation in Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich. A good bet to make the final four and they may win the NCAA Championship as well.
2009 Kentucky Wildcats Season Preview – Everybody is talking about No. 1 recruit John Wall being a freshman sensation, mentioning him along with the likes of Kevin Durant, O.J. Mayo, Eric Gordon, and Derrick Rose as a player who is likely to dominate in his first year. Check out Ryno’s take on the rest of this year’s team.
