New year's grades: College basketball's best shooters
In the preseason writers get to fill up the interwebs with predictions, which then go away. That's what it means to be an 'expert.' You get to say crap, and you rarely get called on it. Too much time passes. People move on. But I'm a masochist. I keep track of my predictions so that I can grade myself. There's some hope that by doing this I'll get better...

The dozens: the 12 best shooters in college basketball
Since the time of the peach basket no skill in college basketball is as worked on or developed as much as the jump shot.

10 Mid-Major guards to watch in 2012-13
