This week, FanHouse is taking a way too early look at the top teams heading into 2007 with a BlogPoll decided on by our college hoops bloggers. It's a time-honored filler for the off-season, and who are we to buck tradition? Today we look at teams 10 through 6.How good will Eric Gordon be? Tell me that and I'll tell you how good Indiana will be.
Gordon, one of the nation's best incoming freshmen, verbally committed to Illinois before changing his mind and heading to Indiana, and that changed the balance of power in the Big Ten as well as assuring that things will get heated when the Hoosiers visit Champaign.
But Gordon isn't all Indiana has. D.J. White, a 6-foot-9, 250-pound shot blocker and a very tough presence inside, is back, as is guard Armon Bassett, who showed a great deal of promise as a freshman last season. Although the Hoosiers will miss the departed Roderick Wilmont, this team should be significantly better than it was last year.
Why they should be ranked here: Indiana beat Gonzaga in the first round of the tournament and also had impressive wins against Southern Illinois and Wisconsin. Add a very good recruit in Gordon, and that's a Top 10 team.
Why they should be ranked higher: Maybe Gordon can have a Kevin Durant-like impact. Watch some of his highlights and you'll think that's realistic:
Why they should be ranked lower: Maybe Gordon is one of the many recruits who looks a whole lot better against high school kids than he does in college. But don't count on it.
