Memphis an Early No. 1

The Memphis Tigers seem to be the only top NCAA basketball program that did not suffer a great loss or two by the NBA draft declaration deadline this past Sunday. The Tigers lost only one senior, guard Jeremy Hunt, who averaged roughly 14 points per game last season. The rest of the core group of players, who have been to back-to-back elite eight games, remains intact, and poised to be the early national title favorites.

Other programs, such as the Florida Gators and Ohio State Buckeyes, have been decimated by players who left to make themselves eligible for the NBA draft. Not Memphis. They will have Chris Douglas-Roberts, Joey Dorsey, Antonio Anderson, and Robert Dozier, among others returning, making the Tigers a clear favorite for the No. 1 poll position. The Tigers will also add two of the nations top high school recruits, Derrick Rose and Jeff Robertson.
