导出博客文章Newcomers dont take long to impact college basketball -- not in this world of
one-and-dones and transfers. Over the next two weeks, we will look at the top
five newcomers in each of the 10 biggest conferences. First up is the SEC.Many
pointed to the new wave of coaches added to the SEC in recent years as an
indication that the leagues postseason recession would finally be over. A better
barometer is how those coaches are starting to get the players who can upgrade
the conference.Just to be clear, Kentucky is exempt from the conversation. The
Wildcats havent had a problem restocking their talent from year to year. But now
the rest of the league is beginning to prove it can keep up. Its not a typo if
you see Mississippi States recruiting class lounging among the nations elite
programs.Heres a look at five newcomers who will surely have the SECs attention
next season.Bam Adebayo, Kentucky Wildcats The Wildcats frontcourt was, in a
word, unreliable last season. Although Skal Labissiere possessed a gifted
offensive skill set, he didnt respond well to the physicality needed on the
blocks. Marcus Lee made his presence known defensively but was absent on
offense. That allowed opponents to outperform the Wildcats in the frontcourt in
a way that hadnt really been done under Calipari.Those times appear to be over.
Adebayo, a 6-foot-9 power forward, has the potential to bring strong post play
back to UK. He doesnt mind the physical play inside. He rebounds well, and the
description thrown around a lot by those who have watched him play most is high
motor.The Wildcats will need all of Adebayos energy, especially with Labissiere
(NBA) and Lee (transfer) no longer on the roster. Adebayo will likely start
immediately and be the teams No. 1 option in the post.Mustapha Heron, Auburn
Tigers Auburn has not made the NCAA tournament since 2003, which is currently
the longest absence among SEC teams. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl will continue to
hear about it until the Tigers receive a bid or he is no longer employed at the
school. Landing Heron is a big step toward ending the drought.Heron should be a
perfect fit with the hectic style of play Pearl favors. Hes athletic and loves
to attack the rim, and he has deep range on his jumper. Heron will get plenty of
shots to help erase the 18.4 PPG scoring void left by Kareem Canty.Pearl has
called Heron a program changer, and he has already reshaped the future without
having played a game. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard was ranked No. 25 by
RecruitingNation, which made him the highest-ranked recruit Pearl has signed.
There always has to be a first before others begin to follow, and it appears
others have already started following Herons lead. Pearl is off to a quick start
in the class of 2017, including landing a commitment from Austin Wiley, a
6-foot-9 center from Birmingham, Alabama, who is ranked No. 19.Mario Kegler,
Mississippi State Bulldogs Like Heron for Auburn, Keglers impact at Mississippi
State expands beyond playing. Kegler marked the second class in a row that coach
Ben Howland convinced the states best recruit to come home. Kegler, a native of
Jackson, chose the Bulldogs despite offers from schools in every geographic
direction after he played for prep power Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.Howland
has compared Keglers skill set to another versatile small forward with big
expectations whom he signed while at UCLA: Shabazz Muhammad. Kegler wasnt quite
the coup that Howland pulled off by signing Malik Newman, who was the No. 10
player in 2015. But Keglers No. 47 ranking makes him the highest among a
seven-man class ranked fourth nationally by RecruitingNation.Kegler wont get a
chance to reunite with his former high school teammate from Jacksons Callaway
High School after Newman transferred to Kansas. But the 6-foot-8 Kegler will get
a chance to help immediately. The Bulldogs will be one of the youngest teams in
the league and nation, with 11 freshmen and sophomores on the roster.DeAaron
Fox, Kentucky Wildcats Even though he was only 5-foot-9, Tyler Ulis left a big
hole at point guard in the Wildcats lineup. He was one of the most steady floor
leaders in the country last season, and he presented a strong case that he was
the best pure point guard Calipari has had at UK.The 6-foot-3 Fox is a different
type of point. Hell bring size back to the position, but can he bring the
stability that Ulis provided? That could be the difference between UK being
simply a good team and UK being a special one capable of another Final Four
run.Fox has the kind of speed with the ball that has drawn comparisons to John
Wall, but Wall didnt have the athleticism that Fox possesses to finish on fast
breaks. Fox will need to avoid the trap of playing at only one speed. If he can
learn that nuance, the Cats have enough talent around him to shine.Braxton Key,
Alabama Crimson Tide Avery Johnson initially made a recruiting splash by
securing a commitment from Terrance Ferguson, the No. 11 player in the class of
2016. Fergusons decision to play professionally in Australia makes Key the
highest-ranked recruit in Johnsons second season at the helm.Key was ranked No.
33 in the class and should help the Crimson Tide fill a serious need. The Tide
had a rebounding problem last season. They were especially porous in preventing
offensive rebounds, as their percentage ranked 322nd nationally, according to
Ken Pomeroy.Johnson just got his major key to correct that. At 6-foot-8,
240-pounds, Key already has a physical presence that Bama sometimes lacked last
season. He wont just be asked to rebound, though. Key is skilled around the
basket and has some range and touch to step outside the paint and score.Key
might not crack the starting lineup immediately, as Alabamas most experienced
position is forward. But he should be a difference-maker, especially where the
Tide need one most: on the boards.

previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers

over two-plus seasons. He was dismissed by the team last March after the
Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. Team
Sweden is devilishly clever. Its players exude a quiet, calm confidence. There
are plenty of reasons to believe that Sweden -- considered a perennial
powerhouse among European teams -- will win the World Cup of Hockey. Its team is
loaded with talent, depth, experience and goaltending. Pride is a major factor
for Sweden, and its players have said time and again how badly they want to win
this best-on-best tournament.How Team Sweden could winIt starts with?Henrik
Lundqvist. The 34-year-old goalie has not played in a game since April 23, when
he gave up six goals on 23 shots and was pulled after two periods in the?New
York Rangers 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins?in the series-clinching Game 5
of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He took time during the summer
to reflect and refocus his efforts to prepare to represent his country at the
World Cup with the hope it will be a springboard to the regular season with the
Rangers.Besides Lundqvist, Sweden has the best overall defense corps in the
tournament. The blue line of Victor Hedman, Anton Stralman, Erik Karlsson,
Niklas Hjalmarsson, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Mattias Ekholm and Hampus Lindholm has
the ability to dominate the opposition in every part of the game. Those players
will also help offensively and can shut down any opposing offense in this
tournament.The top forward line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Loui Eriksson
has been outstanding. Beyond that trio, opponents also have to deal with Filip
Forsberg, Nicklas Backstrom and Patric Hornqvist as a second line. Depth and
puck possession are key for Sweden, whose special teams, especially the
power-play unit, are major weapons. Karlsson will basically quarterback both
unnits from the point, and the Sedins, Eriksson and Larsson will join him to
make up the first power-play unit.ddddddddddddHow Team Sweden could loseIf
Sweden does lose, it will be at the hands of an extremely talented team.
Opponents will try to limit the Swedes puck-possession time. If Sweden doesnt
have the puck, or cant get it -- or if Lundqvist isnt sharp -- that could be its
downfall. With that in mind, the Swedes focused on winning faceoffs during the
pretournament, so quickly gaining possession of the drop will be key.Health is,
of course, a factor for every team, but Sweden cant afford to lose anyone else.
Before training camp, captain Henrik Zetterberg, goalie Robin Lehner, defenseman
Niklas Kronwall and forward Alexander Steen?all bowed out of the World Cup.
Forward Rickard Rakell was recently scratched from the roster because of an
unspecified illness. Despite all that, Sweden begins the tournament in good
shape.What to watch for: To win big, Swedes must think smallSince this
best-on-best tournament is being played on the smaller North American ice
surface, goals will be at a premium. Most goals should come from the dirty areas
in front of the net, so Sweden spent a lot of time during camp working on
small-area games. That forces quick decisions with the puck and the Swedes want
that to become second nature, because teams will attempt to push them around in
those areas. Keep an eye on young forwards Forsberg and Jakob Silfverberg. Both
are coming into their own for the national team, and this could be the perfect
stage for their continued development.
