Breakout Teams this year

Did any of you read the Andy Katz article?

Do any of you agree that NC St. and Georgia are poised for breakout seasons? I'm hesitant with Georgia because I am wondering about their depth. I don't think Katz citing NC St having the same number of conference wins as UNC was really a convincing argument because that was considered a shockingly bad season for them.

NC State is an easy choice to improve a lot with the great freshman class.
Georgia is an interesting pick. If Thompkins and Leslie will be all-SEC caliber players, and Jeremy Price looked really good on games I saw defensively, but they play in a really tough league (which Katz mentioned).

It's really hard to pick for me, but I would like to bring Virginia's name up as a possible break-out team.

^ Even with the loss of Sylvan Landesberg?

I'll go with Northwestern to possibly breakout. A lot of chemistry and upperclassmen on that team who are desperate for that first ever tourny bid. And Drew Crawford is gonna be a beast. Too bad the Big 10 looks monsterous this season. Plenty of opportunities to rack up big wins and RPI though.
