Sophomore, Cincinnati Senior, Louisville Senior, Marquette Junior, South Florida Junior, Memphis Player of Year ... Kenny Satterfield, Cincinnati Kenyon leaves, Kenny arrives ... well, he's actually been here a year, but look for the 6-foot-2 guard to take over as the Bearcats go-to player. The focus shifts from inside to outside with Satterfield running the show. Not a great outside shooter, but still managed to shoot 43 percent because of his athletic moves to the basket as a freshman. Introducing ... Antwan Jones, F, Cincinnatil The 6-foot-8 junior college transfer won't start the season healthy, but look for the terrific all-around player to dominate once his broken foot completely heels. ETA: December. A very strong offensive force down low, who can also play outside at the swing position. But it's his strong inside game that will contribute the most to the Cincy's offense. Best backcourt ... Cincinnati: The duo of Kenny Satterfield and Steve Logan isn't just loaded with talent, but also compliments each other very well.. Both are very, very quick guards. Logan is a good distributor of the ball, while Satterfield is an excellent shooter and ball handler. Best frontcourt ... DePaul: But both South Florida and Memphis receive an honorable mention. DePaul's Bobby Simmons has room to opperate with Q gone, and he can still be a great swing player. Lance Williams, who had a broken foot last year, figures to come back strong -- he's on the verge of having a terrific year. And 7-foot freshman center, Steve Hunter, will really blossom this year. Put that all together and the Blue Demons have a tremendous frontcourt. Team on way up ... Charlotte: It looks like the 49ers have turned it around from a somewhat mediocre season last year. They have a good recruiting class and a chance to move up. Team on way down ... Tulane: The Green Wave lost a number of quality players from last year's club and they don't have much coming back. Tournament tough ... NCAA: Cincinnati, DePaul, Charlotte, Memphis, South Florida. NIT: Louisville, Marquette, UAB. | ALSO SEE ESPN.com Preseason Top 25 Bilas Breakdown: Notre Dame Bilas Breakdown: Seton Hall Bilas Breakdown: Connecticut School ties: Jarvis still fighting for his kids at St. John's Listen closely, UConn's new cast quietly confident about post-Khalid era Too good, too soon: Seton Hall's success ahead of schedule Notre Dame a nice place to play in Brey new world High Five: Murphy remains, while coaches come and go In the crosshairs: Troy Murphy Red Storm Cook-ing with new recipe this season Study Hall: Griffin's game still maturing with Pirates Katz postcard from New York Katz postcard from UConn | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
