Looks like there's a reason I've never heard of these idiots.

I know who they are. I was just being a smart ass because of how misinformed whoever it is that wrote this article is.

I love how Cal goes from a nobody last year to a PAC-10 contending Top 15 team this year.


Compared to some other teams' question marks, I think 14 is a bit of a slap to the face. Lazy, lazy journalism.

Exactly what I was thinking. Move up a bunch of teams whose best players have never played a minute of college ball and push proven teams down. Thank you national media for finding a way to continue to give 3G and the guys more and more locker room material.

Exactly, Shockda -- I'd say e-mail it to Marshall, but you know he's already fully aware and has it in his arsenal for use as required.

There is also a "Write for Athlon" banner to the right of the article.

I remember when they where a premier magazine that at least paid for content, and sold a product of some quality. Probably another publication that has gone from mediocre straight into the gutter.

Sounds like there's more to get worked up about...

@franfraschilla: Saw where Athlon's Magazine didn't have Ron Baker or Denzel Valentine on any of their 3 AA Teams. Wish they could have been at Pan Am Games.

I think the print competition in the early 2000s made it difficult to stay competitive, and then the internet competition made pull out all the stops to stay in business.

Yes, and when pulling out all the stops includes soliciting amateurs to write articles you are officially out of the information/content business and officially exist solely to get clicks and sell ad space.

Put the nail in Athlon, they are done.

Subjective BS, based mostly on last years hype. I doubt the writer spent more than five minutes thought on that list.

Athlon used to be one of the best mags out there back in the old print days. It doesn't look like this guy did any research at all. Sad how far an once proud publication has fallen to hire this guy to do this prediction. Maybe they already had him on salary as an janitor or security guard and figured why spend the extra bucks hiring somebody knowledgeable about college basketball.
