ACC rankings until further notice:
1. Duke
2. Louisville (assuming they get OE Jr)
3. UVA
4. Miami
5. UNC
6. FSU
7. Clemson
8. NC State
9. Syracuse
FSU is more complete than 3-5; however, 3-5 have the starters and proof of concept. The age rule is good for college basketball because i hadn’t realized that Thijs De Ridder was a 23 year old freshman last year.
This is what I’m talking about w/ the nonsensical rule differences. De Ridder went undrafted in 2024 AND 2025; then just went to the college after. He was already a professional. If an American left early and went undrafted, he wouldn’t have gotten the luxury that De Ridder got.
I suspect UVA’s coach is holding so many spots open to bring in multiple international guys and they will likely be good so giving him the benefit of the doubt despite the squadron of seniors graduating. Their hometown hero PG is going to be a pain in the *** again next year.
Hard to push back. Louisville is absolutely loaded but I'm taking every other coach in that top 6 over Kelsey until proven otherwise.
