Here is alittle pick me up for today after last nights early exit.

The ACC breakdown of senior attrition by team in the order that they finshed this year:

UNC
Terry 6-8

UVA
Reynolds 6-3
Cain 6-10

MD
Strawberry 6-5
Jones 6-5
Ibekwe 6-9

BC
Marshal 6-6
Dudley 6-7

VT
Dowdell 6-3
Gordon 6-3
Sailes 6-5
Collins 6-9

Duke
No seniors

GT
West 6-4

CLEMSON
Hamilton 6-0

FSU
Thornton 6-8

NCSU
Astur 6-4

WF
Visser 6-11
Drum 6-6

Miami
Harris 6-2
King 6-9

VT and MD are hit really hard by attrition and will be heading down a number of spots in the standings next year.

UVA and BC lose alot of their stars and heart from this year and will be heading down a couple of spots.

Clemson and NCSTU lose one player a piece but they are very important to their respective teams. They should at least move up a spot due to the above teams really moving down.

FSU, WF, and Miami lose some key players to their teams and don't have enough firepower to overcome, so they should stay in the bottom of the ACC next year also.

Duke and GT should as it stands now really climb the ACC ladder next year.

UNC as it stands now will stand firmly implanted at the top and really crush most of the ACC teams next year.

Based on the above UNC, Duke, and GT sould be in the upper echelon of the ACC next year while the rest of the teams scrap it out for leftovers. NCSU could be a darkhorse nest year for the uppper echelon.

There should be some suprises coming soon with early NBA entrants and transfers.
