If he considered transfers, ISU would be lower in the rankings than 62 because Lucious would be a huge drain on the projected offensive efficiency of the team.Quote:

Only if he cares about pre-season only. His rankings are quite good once games have been played.Quote:

Pre-season rankings are garbage. Only ranking we care is the one in March.
Let's go Clones. Time to prove they are all wrong once again!
