I think Craig is... well let's just say overly optimistic in his "Candidates to leapfrog" The only team in that list I can see as a leapfrog is the Bonnies as they were decimated by transfers and the loss of Ndoy. But even there I don't cout out Schmidt's ability to rebuild. But he is correct, a lot of things can happen.

The Dukes have had a habit of disappointing us when our hopes are up, but being better than expected when we expect nothing. Hope that trend continues this year.

What do you like so much about LaSalle and UMASS?

Funny, Craig sort of backed off the loftier side of his prediction on Twitter. He must have inspired some unbridled optimism elsewhere on the Internet. There's not a lot behind this. But his guess is as good as the silly frothing comments about building programs brick by brick. A top 10 finish in the conference seems extremely optimistic. This team showed nothing last year, and lost a key starter. A lot of things would have to fall in place.
