Here's the direct link: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/way-too-early-top-25-for-the-2017-18-college-basketball-season-043001438.html

My constant soapbox: give clicks to content aggregators, give them to the original content. Especially if the aggregator isn't going to just give a summary and then a link. They're basically taking clicks away from the original content.

22. TEXAS A&M

Quote:

Key losses: G J.C. Hampton, F Tavario Miller
Key returners: F Robert Williams, F D.J. Hogg, G Admon Gilder, F Tyler Davis, F Tonny Trocha-Morelos, G J.J. Caldwell
Notable newcomers: G Duane Wilson, G Savion Flagg, G D.J. Starks, G Jay Jay Chandler
Outlook: The Aggies, like TCU, could be a sneaky surprise pick. They not only more or less have all five starters returning; they have a player, Williams, who would have been a first-round pack had he declared for the draft. They will also get much improved play at point guard from the combo of Caldwell, who was ruled ineligible last season, and Wilson, a graduate transfer from Marquette. A&M underachieved in 2016-17, but could have a big bounce-back year in 2017-18.

Interesting that they list Caldwell as a returner and not a newcomer...

They also said he was declared ineligible so it sort of fits I guess. I hope our super secret closed door scrimmage next year is against somebody really good, sort of feels like we're throwing our guards to the wolves opening up with West Virginia, but that's life I guess.

Could we schedule a home game vs. a creampuff prior to the WV game?

We made a last minute adjustment to our 2015-2016 OOC schedule in order to get Jalen Jones eligible for the Bahamas tournament. I'm sure could we get a game or two schedule if we wanted, but normally those are games that kill your SOS, so I'd caution over-doing it.

I'm pretty sure the game against West Virginia is on the very first allowable gameday of the season, that's what the "Armed Forces Classic" games have been the last few years.

Lundardi didn't put us in his first bracketology

Good thing about the West Virginny game is that if we win we'll be ranked pretty much immediately and start to get a lot of national attention. It will also be extremely helpful in measuring our guard play.

Lunardi is a pud. He's never right until the day off. Again, pud.

He has everyone in the Big 12 but Kansas State either in the field or in the first 8 out...

But yeah, Lunardi sucks

Apparently considers Northwestern an annual NCAA tournament team now, making it for the second year in a row right after their first appearance in program history.

There may not be anything more worthless than the lunardi mock bracket. EXCEPT the time they ran a complete mock special and talked about the fake matchups.

Yeah that's pretty much a mistake. He didn't play a single game. He's a newcomer

He was basically a redshirt. I don't recall in football that people refer to redshirts as newcomers.

Under key losses, they left off "Coach B. Kennedy"

The style I've seen before and I'd use in such a profile is listing redshirts under newcomers with "(redshirt") after their name.

They're definitely not returners, as that very much suggests they were on the "active roster"the year prior, so to speak.

The whole point of the exercise is to conpare/contrast the roster with the previous season's and listing a redshirt as a returner completely misses the boat.

I'll make it simpler for you. He was on the team this year. Thus, he won't be a newcomer next year.

For just about any useful and practical reason and for anyone who understands the point of that list and isn't just trolling, he's a newcomer.

Regardless of whether Caldwell is a 'newcomer' or not....he's good...the latest and greatest highlight film of Caldwell....

You can thumbs-down all you want, but somebody who has been on the team for a year is not a newcomer.

The definition of newcomer is a person who has recently arrived. Caldwell has been at A&M for almost a year. When practice starts in October, he will have practiced with the team for 10-11 months.

That's why he's not listed as a newcomer.
