TGS COLLEGE HOOPS PRESEASON TOP 40! by Bruce Marshall, Goldsheet.com Editor Now, the fun really begins! The college basketball season swings into action this weekend, and we’re prepared with predicted margins and select writeups (including our usual featured Key Release selections) for the first week, all found in our College Forecast. In the meantime, to get a bit better prepared for the unfolding drama, we present our TGS Preseason Top 40. Hang on for the ride... 1-WICHITA STATE...They’re b-a-a-a-c-k! We’re talking about Shocker senior Gs Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, holdovers from the 2013 Final Four team and having flirted with the NBA Draft last spring before deciding to come back for one more go at Koch Arena. As did top-tier HC Gregg Marshall, who continues to resist moves to bigger-name programs (Texas the latest high- profile suitor to be rejected). Baker, VanVleet, hard-nosed senior Evan Wessel, and Kansas transfer Connor Frankamp (eligible mid-December) gives Marshall arguably the top backcourt in the country, and the addition of Cleveland State graduate transfer PF Anton Grady (All-Horizon League LY when scoring 14.2 ppg and grabbing 7.9 rpg) fortifies the frontline.
