And they are out! The first Coaches Poll of the 2011-12 Men's Basketball season has been released. At first glance when looking at it, WOW! The college basketball field this year is stuffed with good teams around the nation.
First off, the defending National Champion is starting off at #4. Yes, they did lose lottery pick Kemba Walker to the
Now I will jump back up to #2 where the NBA factory, Kentucky Wildcats hold ground. With a top freshman returning from last year in Terrence Jones, Coach Calipari has added freshman like Michael Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Anthony Davis, and Kyle Wiltjier. All 4 of them would most likely be starting at any D-I school. And they are topped by the infamous UNC Wildcats.
To finish up, I am going to jump all the way down to the #12 Baylor Bears to show you how strong the field this season really is. The Bears have Senior Quincy Acy leading the team along with Sophomore Perry Jones III in the front court. Bringing the ball up the court is going the be another young Freshman Deuce Bello. Deuce was one of the talented youngsters that played along side John Wall on the D-I Sports traveling team that was filled with ridiculous talent. The Baylor Bears have reloaded for another battle in the Big 12 conference, and yet a team with this kind of talent is #12 in the nation.
Freshman seem to be getting bigger and stronger with every year that passes. With young kids making such a strong impact on college basketball, it seems the competition is going to continue to grow on the hardwood. It's going to be a great year of college hoops. Happy Watchings!
