IMO the October 29th cutoff date is crucial for this poll; with no games played only the presence of HC3G on the bench will deliver a few votes for the Shockers. -
Ignored completely. We will have to prove we are more than Baker/VV. However, once we do start to prove this, our rise will be quick.Comment

I certainly think we'll get some Gregg Marshall points. But getting into the Top 25 will be up to us, and rightly so. There's a lot of unknowns (even for us Shocker fans), so it's certainly understandable. I think the year could be anywhere from a frustrating one to a happily surprising one. Either way, I think a lot of our guys will gain valuable experience and be set up for an extremely successful 17-18 campaign, no matter how successful 16-17 is."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W.

I saw the Lindy's 2016-17 Basketball magazine yesterday. I think they had the Shockers at #30.Comment

Not necessarily. This is just the Blue Ribbon people, and even then, it doesn't say anything about teams that were close to making it in. Also, just looking at that top 10, I'm not sure how much credence I'd put in that list. I know it's a "reputable rag", but I'm not seeing it.Originally posted by WuShock Reaper View PostDUKE IS NO. 1 IN BLUE RIBBON COLLEGE BASKETBALL YEARBOOK’S PRESEASON TOP 25 - Chris Dortch

Pre-season glossy magazines are about as valuable as phone booths. They used to serve a purpose but have been overcome by technology.Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.Comment

Blue Ribbon is still good. If I wasn't a fan, I'd probably put WSU at around 30 in the pre-season, so I'm not too surprised we weren't in the top 25.Livin the dreamComment

"No-Longer-Way-Too-Early Top 25 in college hoops" - ESPN Sports

"25. Florida State Seminoles
The temptation is so strong to throw a team like Wichita State on this list -- out of nothing else but sheer respect for the fact that it has been a half-decade since Gregg Marshall finished a season worse than 17th in adjusted efficiency. Instead, the 2016-17 Shockers will have to settle for that plug and kindly cede the floor to Florida State, where likely lottery pick Jonathan Isaac will join up with last year's best recruit in FSU hoops history, Dwayne Bacon. The talent is overwhelming.
Not in the top 25, but did make his Honorable Mention List: Wichita State Shockers, Texas Longhorns, California Golden Bears, Cincinnati Bearcats, USC Trojans, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M Aggies, Dayton Flyers, Seton Hall Pirates, SMU Mustangs, San Diego State Aztecs, and Virginia Tech Hokies."Comment
