Good point...goes to show there are a lot of considerations in determining potential opponent... Even more reason for me to be patient.

That might be Finals week.

Either of these would be fun games that I would love to see. Looking at Bulls schedule, there is a gap between Vanderbilt (12/3) and Canisius (12/18). NC State has more room on their schedule than Baylor during that time. NCST has one game at UNC Greensboro on 12/15. Baylor has two home games Arizona (12/7) and Butler (12/10). I see that more teams than those I have already identified have room on their schedule, so my list is too short. Maybe I just have to be patient... announcement should come soon.

Baylor or NCST please

It sounds crazy, but doesn't sound impossible to me. Last year's "8" and "9" would've been presumably freshmen Williams and Segu, with "6" and "7" being Perk/Caruthers off the bench (even though no one would truly put Perk as a true bench guy). "#10" would've been Fagan or Brock, who truly had minimal at best playing time. This year, you've got Johnson, Graves, Jordan, Nickelberry, Hardnett, Mballa, Grant, Segu, Williams, Skogman/Brock. This isn't necessarily a rank order, but somewhat of the presumed lineup based on the original post of this thread. Based on that, it's not super far off depth-wise. Player for player, it could look like this: CJ - Johnson (we're all hoping for big things from Johnson, but this is a 4th year CJ, edge to CJ) Graves - Graves (edge to this year's version) Jordan - Jordan (edge to this year's version) Harris - Nickelberry (again, we all have high hoped for Nickelberry and I would be more than happy to get a push for this year) Perk - Mballa (this year, I'm definitely going with a 4th year Perk) McRae- Hardnett (without having played yet in college, we can't be sure, but could definitely use Hardnett to be a win here) Caruthers - Grant (not the same position, but Dontay brought us some huge things last year. Hoping for some nice things out of Grant, but giving the edge to #22) Williams - Williams - (edge to this year's version) Segu - Segu - (edge to this year's version) Fagan/Brock - Skogman/Brock (I'd probably take this year's) Breaking it down that way, it doesn't "seem" to be a crazy idea. What can't be assigned is the cohesiveness of last year's group, many of whom played together for at least 2 years. Many of this year's group is new and it may take time to get rotation, roles, understanding of each other. Regardless, it should be a very strong team and one that I greatly look forward to seeing play.

Based on a list of OOC games on barttorvik.com I have created the following teams as the remaining P5 opponent possibilities. I created by looking at the number of OOC home games and total OOC games each team has. Time will tell if we travel to one of these schools for a game.

#ForeverABull Tyree, he made his choice, and it was one that he will likely regret. The other 2, to heck with them.
