2011-12 ACC Thread
 

You will all Fear the Turtle this year and the Terps will reign supreme this year in the ACC.

/sarcasm

Not expecting much from UMD this year but from what I heard, Mark Turgeon SEEMS to have them going in the right direction. But then again, it's easy to say that now when no games have been played. :splat:

Man, I tell my boy who is a Terps fan that if Turgeon can keep the recruits in state then yall could be an elite program. It's crazy the amount of talent Gary Williams couldn't keep in state. A lot of NBA talent came out of MD but chose other schools instead(Melo,Gay,Durant,Smith).

My goal for Virginia this year is to finally make it back into the NCAA Tournament. With Mike Scott coming back due to a medical redshirt and a fair amount of talent and experience, combined with the uncertainty of the league beyond Carolina and Duke, I don't see any reason why this can't be met, barring a rash of injuries.

Shows me you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Really made me laugh.

This is UNCs league this year, then Duke, GT is the worse team in the conference and it isn't close. NCSU, FSU and Clemson are middle of the pack. UMD and WF will be awful.

Re: 2011-12 ACC Thread
 

Kinda like last year...pretty much UNC/Duke's league with a dropoff after them. I'm thinking:

1. UNC
2. Duke
3. Florida State
4. Miami (if all their players remain eligible)
5. NC State
6. Clemson

After UNC and Duke their is just a bunch of teams battling. Obviously you dont watch much if you think Maryland and Wake Forest will be awful, they have much more Talent than FSU or Clemson. FSU lost Singleton and Kitchen their 2 best players, as did Clemson with Stitt and Grant. NC State would have been interesting if Harrow hadnt transferred. GT I picked as a surprise 3rd just messing around, Rice Jr is solid, and 2 newcomers Brandon Reed and Julian Royal may surprise. I picked my VT Hokies alot lower than I think they will finish but didnt want to jinx them. Green will hopefully lead their stellar Freshmen class to a high ACC finish. Maryland with Stoglin, Mosley, Faust andHoward will be tough if someone steps up in the post. Wake Forest will surprise with McKie, Harris, Terrell and Desrosiers.

Two words: Delonte Hill

Just gotta get some size in there and replacing Jordan Williams isn't gonna be easy but I think his production can be.

Might need to take a look in the mirror, buddy.
