Found this today on a local blog. Not sure what to think since it doesn't mention any of our recruiting.

Wow, they put us ahead of Temple. Going to be a tough conference.

The guy's write up on the conference makes it sound like Memphis was in Big East and then we showed up last second - it was the opposite, and they are lucky to be in the conference at all.

Also - i know Houston is a strong team, but i am surprised they are ahead of Temple and SMU on this list, considering this guy is suppose to be paying attention to the personnel changes for next year.

Predictions look about right to me.

Exactly what I thought.

In another really early prediction, ESPN posted a bracket for next year already. There are 4 AAC teams (Louisville, Cincy, UConn and Menphis) and then 5 other Old Big East (the '12-'13 version)

SMU will get no respect (and certainly deserves none based on our history) unless/until it is earned. Hopefully that will motivate coach Brown to stay until the job is finished and he can turn over a consistent winner to Jank, who undoubtedly will play a major role in our rebuilding (starting with hopefully having delivered a PG)
