I was looking at the top 100 college players listed today on CBS.Sportsline.
There were 12 Big Ten players listed.
None were Hawkeyes.
Included high in the ratings were point guards Trey Burke,Aaron Craft, and Tim Frazier. Mike Gesell will be facing these kinds of pgs his first year in the college ranks. It will be very challenging. Probably the only true frosh point guard in the league besides Gesell will be Yogi Ferrell of IU,who is very highly ranked also.
Andre Hollins of Minny came on very strong at pg last year at the end of the season and in the NIT.
Sobolewski of NW had a very strong frosh year.
George Marshall of Wisky redshirted his frosh year,and is drawing rave reviews.
Tracy Abrams of Ill was pretty solid as a frosh last year.
PU will have one of the Johnson's manning the point...both are top 100.
Appling of MSU will be in the top 5 pgs in the league this year,along with Burke,Craft, and Frazier.
So, yes, a frosh pg can survive in the Big Ten as Sobo,Hollins,and Burke all showed last year,but Gesell is following in a strong pg group and will be less experienced than any of them outside of Ferrell.
I like Gesell and think he will be good,but he will be strongly challenged in the best league in the country this year.

Totally idiotic article. Fran is ready to kick %$# in the BIG this year. We do have a few panzy games pre season to get warmed up, but that won't matter once we start kicking %$# in the BIG. Final Four baby!!!
