My dark horse in the ACC. Should compete for the ACC and will be a top 25 team. Veteran led crew, as you mentioned, they return Harris and Mitchell. Tony Bennett has that team primed to make some noise in that conference. The ACC is absolutely brutal this year however, you have three top 10 teams in Cuse, Duke, and UNC. Then you have that next tier of Pitt, ND, and Virginia knocking on the door along with a better than advertised Maryland team.
On the plus side, Virginia has plenty of size down low and talent. Tobey was ill a lot of last year for Virginia but don't sleep on him. Another big to keep an eye on is Gill, he transferred from S. Carolina but I presume he will have a very solid year. Brogdon is another guy that will be a solid contributor in the back court. He was a freshman that had all the athletic ability but the ball-handling was very subpar. He sat out last year with some sort of illness or injury (I can't recall), but word has gone around that his ball-handling has improved tremendously. I see him being a tremendous asset and potentially an All-ACC 3rd team type as a RS Sophomore. There should be a big improvement in his game assuming that he is 100% healthy.
