21. Rhode Island Rams: "R.I.s.e"
We'd need a well-paid designer to maximize the messaging potential here, commissioning a logo and series of marks that make Rhode Island's initials both obvious and seamlessly integrated into the slogan word. The concept, though, is self-explanatory: With star guard E.C. Matthews back from injury, Dan Hurley's program, which finished 17-15 last season, has already ascended to a consensus preseason top-25 spot and might have much more in store. -- Brennan

Nice. The only thing not so nice about it is this sentence:
"The" Wildcats, huh?Oregon was No. 2, Kansas No. 3, Kentucky No. 3 and defending national champions Villanova. No. 5. The Wildcats have appeared somewhere in the top four the last six seasons, including No. 1 in 2014-15 and 2015-16.

Of all the top 25 lists I've seen us on, this is the one I'm happiest about. Not even a write-up, but I just love seeing our name attached on random sports blogs as a consensus top 25 pick. Also Rihanna is really hot.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
In their ranking Bonaventure and GW are over-ranked IMO, and Lasalle is under ranked. Giannini has worked in transfers well in the past, they definitely have some talent to put on the floor.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
Agree BAR but somehow St Bonaventure often peaks st A20 tournament time. GW has some nice talent but not much depth and coaching a mess.
LaSalle could really surprise. Several very talented transfers eligible and a solid Coach
UMASS may be tough depending on how quickly the Freshmen develop

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
Is it me or is the A-10 projected to be down this year? Besides the top 4-5 teams, teams ceilings don't see to be all that high. Hopefully once the games start we'"" get the annual 2-3 teams that surprise and help prop the league up as a whole.

Interesting list of 15:
Jarvis Garrett - URI
TJ Cline - Richmond
Jaylen Adams - St Bonaventure
Tyler Cavanaugh - George Washington
So 4 of the 15 Under rated players are from the A10 - pretty much saying we are an under rated Conference!
It is truly going to be a very exciting College Basketball Season in these parts!!

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
Also, with us finishing second in the A10 poll, I would think that decreases our chances to get Top 25 ever so slightly, with some coaches / voters voting Dayton in over us because of our conference poll. Now obviously we both could be ranked in the 20's, I just think we would have had a better shot had we been voted to win the A10.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
Off the top of my head, If you want to take the average from all the polls that have been out there, URI is ranked around 24, I believe. Basically I haven't seen one with out Rhody. ESPN has us at 20, how could Dickie V who works for ESPN be so different?

I think we're going to split with Duke...
We're going to beat them 72-69 at Mohegan, but they're going to beat us 86-82 in OT in the Elite Eight regional finals...

If I were to guess I'd say we have a better chance in AP than Coaches/USA Today. Just an hunch.ATPTourFan wrote:Didn't know that. Then it will be official that Rhody will begin the season ranked.
Also, the AP poll is what is referenced ( I believe) when teams are talked about on TV / online as being ranked.
