I’m expecting Davis Fogle to be one of college basketball’s breakout players this year (& play his way onto draft boards in the process). Freshman impact should be scalable to increased role, particularly with the uncertainty of Gonzaga’s roster. 📺

What to know about LSU: 1. Their frontcourt is good & could be great 2. Their backcourt will depend on the courts…because they’re going to court 3. If they win (twice, because there will be an appeal) it will forever change college hoops (again). 📺
