Undeclared: The Relaunch
Undeclared needs your help to compile the SLAM College Hoops Top 10.
by Ben Collins
To coincide with the launch of the college basketball season, I’m relaunching the multimedia machine that is Undeclared. Today you’ll see some Boston College coverage, including a little bit from Jared Dudley and diaper dandy (God, I hate that phrase) Shamari Spears. Over the week, we’ll finish out those five things you need to read to be a decent NBA fan.
Oh, and there will be polls. It’s college sports. Everybody loves polls.
But we’ll do this thing the SLAM way.
So, since we’re too ADD for 25, give me your Top 10 teams and tell me why, either in the comments section or email me. The best/funniest make Friday’s list.
Enjoy your homework.

1. Gators - All five starters come back from national champs team. Easy pick.
2. Carolina - Loaded with freshman and sophmores. Not tourney tested however. Will be interesting to see how these guys gel.
3. Rock Chalk - Shit-load of talent, but Sasha Kaun isn’t a force down low. Again, not much tourney experience after getting bounced in first round last two years.
4. Buckeyes - Best freshman since Carmelo arriving in January. Looking forward to seeing them play in March after taking on a less than stellar Big 10.
5. Big Baby - Will pretty much be a one man team this year along with soph Tasmin Mitchell. Why so high then? Big Baby has big enough shoulders to carry this team. Must find: outside shooter or else they could be in touble.
6. Pittsburgh - Not very quick but have got good inside-outside presence. Class of the Big East
7. Alabama - Great guard and solid big, (Steele and Davidson) can take you a long way come tourney time.
8. UCLA - Great wings with Affalo, Shipp, and M’bah a Moute. Kevin Love would start right now for this team cause they lack inside presence… bad.
9. Georgetown - Good bigs but weak guards and because everybody else has them in the top ten.
10. Kentucky - Because I’m a fucking homer and think the Cats will have a much better year than expected. Randolph Morris will be a beast and show why his final three choices coming out of high school included the L and b/c Joe Crawford is going to break out and average 17 per and because Ramel Bradley is so New York City. Holla.

Geez, way to throw off the curve, Matthew. You’re like the one kid from Paris in French class. Everyone else should know that you don’t have to be that insightful and/or realistic. If anyone can seriously vouch for a number one spot that doesn’t start with ‘F’ and end in ‘lorida’ and seriously convince me that you have a point, then you’re a genius and you’re making the rankings. (Oh, seriously Matt, nice job.)

I don’t think it would be in the best interest of the company for a column to share the name with a snuff film. The fact that it shares a name with a Fox sitcom is bad enough.

#1-UNC-Best freshman class with Lawson,Wright and co. solid inside presence with Hansbrough and with Greg Paulus’s injury the best distruter in the ACC(if not the whole damn thing-but theres too many teams so no one knows) in Frasor and I even have a way they could defend the Gators-they get the guys in the science department working hard to develop a time,when this time machine is uo and running they can go back in time too recriut a young Dikembe Motumbo bring him back-he could defend the shit out of everybody and average about 16 blocks a game.There is that enough to get a mention on Friday?
#2-Gonzaga-Why not?

Or they could get a guy in the English department to correct your shitty grammar. Just messin’ Hova, just messin’. But on the real, a young Deke vs. Noah would be something to see.

I got UNC 1 thru 10 because no one else matters. I got worried last night against Winthrop but they pulled it out. The only thing I don’t like about this years squad is the lack of consistent shooting. But what is consistent the second game of the season? With that said, I hope it gets better. It’s good to see a HOF coach back on the sidelines because it obviously really helps recruiting. It was like a revolving door at Duke and now the tables are starting to turn. The Final Four is a no brainer but I’ll walk the plank and go UNC 2007 champions. Kiss the Rings Bitch!!
