How good will your team be on 2k8?

[dannyboy9695]

Well for my hoosiers they should be top 10 pre-season(like espn's pre-season poll)


DJ white will be aorund a 90,second best PF in the nation?Tyler H will be the best.

Eric Gordon wil be around an 86 or 87 as freshmen,just like OJ,Rose,and Beasley.

Eli Holman-74
Brandon Mcgee-70
Jamrcus Ellis-80
Deandrea Thomas-68
AJ Ratlif-81
Armom Basset-79
Jordon crawford-68
Ben Allen-72
Lance Stemler-72
Mike WHite-73
Andrea Clark 72(depends if he comes to iu lol)

[opeth0606]

Well my team is Pitt so there probably gonna be a little better than average, probably better than the actual team is since we always get worse after each tourament game.:p

[runnin'rebels1990]

We lost five of our front six, however we have a great group of freshmen and transfers coming in. It will be a rebuilding year, but the entire Mountain West conference is down so we have as good a shot as any to go to the dance, probably not back to the sweet sixteen though. ESPN always underrates us, but they never look out west anyway. 2K is usually accurate.

Anyway, I think we'll be in the upper 70's with no MWC team breaking the 80's.
Our two star players will be Jr. Wink Adams who should be in the low to mid-80's and Fr. Beas Hamga who's really raw but should be a monster in the middle with a huge wingspan and a lot of potential, maybe upper 70's for now.

"He's Beas! Hooray Beas!"

[YankeeCpt]

Beas Hamga is one of the dumbest peeps I ever heard speak. I heard him interviewed by Matt Jones. Goodluck with him.

Also heard he has a tattoo on little "Beas"

[ghouse522]

USC IS MY TEAM I THINK WE WILL BE GOOD WITH THE YOUNG TALENT LIKE OJ MAYO WILL BRING US THE SPARK WE NEED GO TROJANS

He can't speak well because he hasn't been in America that long. He's still learning the language. I'm sure if you went to Cameroon and tried speaking French people will think you're slow too. Besides you're just upset that a school like UNLV recruited him better than big bad Kentucky.

As for why you're concerned with "little Beas", that sounds like a personal issue you'll have to face one day.:o

[IB33UKNOW]

Go USC, that's my team to, with Taj Gibson a compliment for O.J. Mayo's extraordinary talent, USC will do more than last year, on the gaming system, and the hardwood

[dtodabreezy]

UNC...Best PF (Hansbrough)..Best PG (Lawson)..One of the deadliest 3 point shooters (Ellington)...I'll never get 2 use them...

[XQzMe]

KU
Chalmers, Rush, Robinson, Arthur, Jackson... and Collins...

Need I Say More

[maroonandwhite]

Mississippi State

returning Jamont Gordon, Charles Rhodes, Jarvis Varnado, Barry Stewart, Ben hansborough

Adding Phil Turner, Brian Johnson (transfer), elgin bailey, kodi augustus, Raven Johnson (would be a pro if not for the new rule.)

If 2k does their research they will see that we have a pretty good team. We won the SEC West last year and got better as the year went on. They probably won't though and again rate us the third worst team in the west even though we continually win West championships

[soonersam]

I'm afraid my Sooners won't be good in the game because they have a lot of qusetion marks.
I'm hoping for a low 80 rating. I just hope they put a lot of stock into Blake Griffin as a true freshman since he was a McDonalds AA.

[Lord Ash]

You think you have troubles?:)

My Duke team will be very, very rough with only a single guy over 6'9 on the ENTIRE ROSTER, and he won't even be very good. Those guards better be able to shoot 3s, cause we'll get outrebounded EVERY GAME:)

[Dat Franchise Boy]

Texas A&M will be great this year and will win the Big 12. I think this will be thier starting lineup:

PG: Dominique Kirk- Senior
SG: Donald Sloan- Sophmore
SF: Josh Carter- Junior
PF: Joseph Jones- Senior
C: DeAndre Jordan- Freshman

[REDSFAN2004]

my team will be as good as i want them to be haha.

[AKGRIZZFAN32]

memphis woo whos gonna stop us

[AKGRIZZFAN32]

noone left from memphis and im glad we da underdog

[Suellaboy22]

my team is Harvard and we are going to suck

[IB33UKNOW]

Go USC
We gon get some this year

[WKURicker]

WKU is my team, we have 7 seniors this year with all starters returning (if you don't include the player that left mid-season) and last year I believe we were rated around 81 in the game. Courtney Lee is the best player on the team, he should be at least a 90. We have some nice newcomers, including the first ever Filipino-born D 1 NCAA basketball player, Mr. Kentucky Basketball, and a nice big out of Florida
I am probably looking for anywhere between 83 and 90. I know 90 wont happen, but I can dream :)

[KINGD3V1N]

UNC is the best and always will be they have no freshmen wich means nothing but pure experienced tallent.

[Vern247]

LOL at the UK fan making fun of Beas. Sounds like someone is a little mad that Beas didn't go to sUK.

[illsmak]

I dunno how good the Illini are going to be, but they should be pretty good. They lost Carter and McBride (two of my least fav players ever), and Arnold, too. And Jamar is sitting out for the season, but I think, if I remember correctly, Carlwell is coming back.

Pruitt is set to dominate and they got some new ballers coming in. I think they should be an 80s team but people might hate on them in the game. They always hate on the Illini in games. A lot of them don't even have accurate ratings or hometowns.

Peace

-Smak

[YankeeCpt]

all kidding aside- say what u want, and I didnt read their posts BUT I did hear him interviewed on KentuckySportsRadio by Matt Jones and Beas is flatout clueless. He might be a good baller, but he is dumber than a sack of rocks.

but in the same genre of things, heard Jai Lucas interviewed and quite a few other prospects who went elsewhere. Beas pretty much could not answer any question with any sort of intelligence. Have nothing else to say bout any of the recruits who signed elsewhere. Lucas was a class act.

[YankeeCpt]

He can't speak well because he hasn't been in America that long. He's still learning the language. I'm sure if you went to Cameroon and tried speaking French people will think you're slow too. Besides you're just upset that a school like UNLV recruited him better than big bad Kentucky.

oh it was me!
Maybe Cameroon...
Wish him luck he may be a great player some day and I wish hime luck. I am not bitter. I have nothing against UNLV. I was hoping Pitino would coach there when he came out of the pros.

[runnin'rebels1990]

Coincidentally, today the NCAA just screwed us (again) and declared him academically ineligible. This has something to do with transferring his grades from Cameroon. We have about a month to get the situation resolved. But the NCAA waited until classes were in session to personally screw us. Nobody did anything wrong, they just want to "make sure" all his paperwork is in order. It's amazing, Tark's been gone for 15 years and they still have it in for us! We even have one of the cleanest coaches in all D-1 basketball and they still come after us whenever they can! The NCAA is the most corrupt organization there is. I would much rather have the government or the mafia run the NCAA because they would have better set of morals than these hypocritical jerks!!! I mean, they're not just screwing us, they are personally messing with this kid! Now he has to go back to a prep school where he can reopen recruiting and pick one of the NCAA's favorite teams like Davon Jefferson did a couple years ago. The whole city is furious and Beas is livid. Real classy NCAA!!! I'm so mad right now, I have to hit something!!!

http://www.lvrj.com/sports/9780702.html

BTW, he reclassified himself for this year before he commited so it wasn't us (or any other college) who pressured him.

[CincyFan]

My Xavier team looks pretty decent this year despite losing four players on the team from last year (3 starters). At least we have a true center now in Kenny Frease. So if he does well we should defend the A-10 title again and should make a run into the Big Dance this year. Plus we resigned Miller to an extension so hopefully he will stay for the whole contract unlike every other coach in the past.

[slicknickshady]

The ratings are just my guesses.

Michigan State Spartans

Starters

PG/SG. D-Nice (84) (SR)
PG/SG. T-Walt (77) (JR)
SF/PF. Raymar Morgan (80) (SO)
PF. MarQuise Gray (74) (RS JR)
C. Drew Naymick (68) (RS SR)

Bench

PG. Kalin "Too Easy" Lucas (72) (FR)
SG. Chris "X-Man" Allen (75) (FR)
SG/SF. Durrell "Real Baby" Summers (72) (FR)
PF. Goran "G" Suton (73) (RS JR)
C. Idong Ibok (68) (RS JR)
SG/SF. Isiah Dahlman (71) (SO)
C. Tom Herzog (70) (RS FR)

Likely to Redshirt

SG/SF. Austin Thornton (62) (FR 3 Star Walk-ON)

MSU will be ready for take off.

[Preacherbruce]

I'm still trying to figure out how Huggins' system with Beilein's players is going to work @ WEST VIRGINIA. The first thing he did was send them to the weight room and told them to "get stronger."

*Nichols is a great point guard with tremendous court savvy and should do well.

*De'Sean Butler is a star in the making...but understand that he is not really happy with Huggin's role for him.

*Smallington is tall...that's just about it.

*Ruoff and Joe Alexander...who knows?

Figure somewhere between 10-17 to 20-7.....that's about as close as I can predict.

[DeWittMaxwell]

Everyone sleeps on PC because they only have 4,500 students, but this year is going to be the year. We're returning 4 of 5 starters and the 5th starter, Randall Hanke, started 2 seasons ago before receiving a medical redshirt last year. We also have 3 returning bench players who got considerable minutes, and Jeff Xavier, who sat out last year after transferring from Manhattan, where he averaged close to 15 a game in a decent mid-major conference. Add in 3 impact rookies, one of whom is Clark Kellogg's son, and you have the absolute biggest sleeper in the nation. Only 4 votes for the Top 25 in the AP Poll, none is ESPN/USA Today Poll. Watch out Big East!!!

[J23Smoove]

i totally agree with you dude. Im a U of A fan but I think da Friars r a huge sleeper....not in Choops 2k8 tho. I believe their a 84 OVR which is even higher then my Zona Cats!

btw - i like soph. guard Dwain Williams

[J23Smoove]

im pretty pumped for my Cats this season.
we got da killer B's! Budinger can do it all and Bayless looks real niiiiice!

[IBBALLIN33]

My USC Trojans baby!

[DeWittMaxwell]

84 ovr is just a liiittle too high for the Friars, and probably for any team in the Big East except the Hoyas. Maybe 80-82, with the depth and returning starters, but 2k needs to step it the heck up with the ratings. Even in my love for PC I'm not too blind to see that's a reach.

[IBBALLIN33]

Yea, USC is very balanced, but lacks a tru big man, with Taj Gibson more of a Post-shooter.

[J23Smoove]

god i cant wait for this game 2 cum out!
i reserved my copy 2day

[UMDTerpsFTW]

Maryland Terrapins


Returning Starters- James Gist(PF) and Greivis Vasquez(PG/SG).

Returning Bench- Eric Hayes(PG), Bambale "Boom" Osby(C), Landon Milbourne(SF), Dave Neal(PF), and Jason McAlpin(SG).

Incoming Freshman- Adrian Bowie(PG/SG), Cliff Tucker(SF), Braxton Dupree(C), Dino Gregory(PF/SF), Shane Walker(PF), and Jerome Burney(PF RS)


I expect Maryland's rating to be somewhere between 70-74. Very young and lacking experience. I would be satisfied with any rating around there. Can't wait to play this game.

[ATL Jones Bro3]

GT.... I have no idea who we have this year, but we will win it all baby!!

[IBBALLIN33]

My Trojans baby... no idea what they will be rated, but it should be tite.

[chestnutz6]

Yes considerin they lost...

[UMDTerpsFTW]

GT.... I have no idea who we have this year, but we will win it all baby!!

I think GT took a big hit with Javaris Crittenton and Thaddeus Young leaving, but the ACC isn't at it's strongest so anything is possible. Paul Hewitt is a good coach as well.

[IBBALLIN33]

College Of Charleston came back from 25 down at the half, won with a three at the buzzer.

[UMDTerpsFTW]

I saw that score. Big time choke job by Temple.

[Jordai]

Dang good...

[IBBALLIN33]

Yea, did u see the game, empty stands, full bench full of Temple Owls, crying, no C of C players on the bench, all going crazy.

[bockaemonkae]

Vermont...Underratted


Mike Trombolli should be 85 rated (pg)


15 Points 6 assist 2 stls 1 blk Per game..

[IBBALLIN33]

Yea, but, come on, it is Vermont, lol.

[IBBALLIN33]

Yea, but, come on, it is Vermont, lol.

[bockaemonkae]

Ever Since they beat Syracuse....It has went downhill

R.I.P Taylor Coppinrath and T.J Sorrintine

4- 6'9 Center/Forward and 4- 6'8-6'7 Forwards
that will be one hell of a inside game and guards to kick it out too and knock down the 3

[dustytaylor13]
