This is actually pretty cool! Josh Ayeni will show that he deserves to be a higher seed, maybe not “deserves”, but he’ll show that he’s “better” than his seeding this yr! Can’t wait for the season to begin!!
Wholeheartedly agree
Mike Lewis
How could you forget Sam Miller??
Where is Rusty Reigel? He has more #grit and #fundamentals and #intangibles than this entire bracket combined. This is a sham!
