Hoyas Ranked 12th in Preseason 2013-14 Top 25 Poll

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, and I'm feeling good! Happy Monday everyone! Here's a pretty casual 2013-14 Top 25 Poll to feast on today before tonight's National Championship featuring the Louisville Cardinals and the Michigan Wolverines.

12. Georgetown: Greg Whittington should return from an academic suspension, incoming transfer Josh Smith is a dominant offensive player, and Georgetown brings back the majority of the players from a dominant defensive team. Thus picking the Hoyas for the Top 25 makes sense even without Otto Porter. But I am very concerned how much the offense will depend on mid-year transfer Josh Smith. Smith is a natural offensive player, and seems like the perfect high-post player to make the Georgetown offense flow. But will he be able to integrate into the lineup (and get in shape) for a 3 month run? Statistically he looks like a good fit, but betting on Josh Smith has been a bad bet the last two seasons.
