Arizona favored to win the PAC12 & Nico predicted to make all PAC12 1st team

Despite losing their best two players, assu has some decent talent returning...but they have NO depth.

Not sure how Hurley could be considered a decent coach.  He was given a .500 basketball team & it took him 4 years to make it back to .500 in the miserable Pac-12. 

The guy went from 12-0 OOC to missing the field of 64 in 2018.  Hoping Anderson keeps him around as long as possible.  Their fans have a false sense of optimism that will keep them in mediocrity forever.

Colorado is bringing back all their main contributors from last year, I believe they only lose 1 player Deleon Wright who only played like 10 games for them. That's why everyone is hyping them up, though I'm not really a big fan of that logic they essentially bring everyone back from a team that tied for 4th in the worst major conference and lost in the NIT quarterfinals. At best this team is 3rd or 4th in an improved conference and sneaks in the tournament at worst they're in the NIT again.

As far as ASU outside of Remy like KCC mentioned has a good cast of role players returning White, Lawerence, Edwards, and I'm sure they're hoping Cherry starts to get it going. As far as newcomers their juco talent looks legit particularity Alonzo Verge the dude averaged 30pts and 8ast on pretty efficient shooting numbers at the juco ranks and I think him and Remy are going to be a problem. And Khalid Thomas who we were also recruiting a while back looks solid as well a true stretch 4. In my opinion the biggest sleeper in the Pac.

But like most said Arizona, Oregon, and Washington in any order should and will likely be the top 3 teams in the Pac and very likely all locks to get in the tournament.

Nico will not make the 1st team All Pac12 if he is averaging 10-12ppg like most people have predicted here. Even 12-13ppg. He will need to be a much bigger force and reason why Arizona is up top for this to be an accurate prediction. But I digress.

Nico is a Superstar. Not an average college PG. Maybe someone besides Pryme will agree at somepoint.

Those sound like Liquidated stats (in a sense that they are fabricated).

I'm pretty sure 2 people predicted less than 13.5 PPG.  Most everybody else here thinks 14-18.

Probably true, but the embellishment indicates I mean most people came in on the lowest possible end of his scoring potential while only me and a couple other people think on the higher end. I just think Nico is too great of a shooter and finisher to score under the 'consensus mean' 15ppg that i saw, at least if he is going to win ROY and First team All 12 Pac
