27. NIC MOORE, SMU
Last year, when we put Moore No. 84, my colleague Sam Vecenie wrote, "Depending on how the Mustangs' season goes, Moore could be a dark horse candidate for AAC player of the year." Dark horse? Hardly. We goofed. Moore should have been top-50, as he was the most important player for the Ponies. He'll play out his senior season without a chance at being in the Dance. Consider this a small consolation prize, Nic. -- MN
82. MARKUS KENNEDY, SMU
Expect Kennedy to put up at least 13/8 this season, a year that will amount to playing for pride and pro-ball stock for Kennedy and Nic Moore. The big man will keep SMU a top-30 team from start to finish, I think. Was No. 65 on our list last season. -- MN
