Thursday morning, ESPN re-released their “Way-Too-Early Top 25,” now simply called the No-Longer-Way-Too-Early Top 25, and you may recognize one of those top five teams.
Eamonn Brennan has Virginia at No. 5 in his rankings, which may come as a shock to some of the casual fans out there. After all, you’d expect the Hoos to take a hit after losing second round draft pick Malcolm Brogdon (Milawaukee), Anthony Gill, and Mike Tobey.
“Not so fast, my friends.” – Tony Bennett (maybe).
Ok, so Tony didn’t really say that, but Coach Bennett has the Wahoos ready to contend in the 2016-2017 season thanks to the combination of senior leadership, instrumental transfers (or redshirts), and new blood.
