Submitted on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 9:38PM EDT
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
Even with Landfor out for ? amount of time MSU has a great coach with great players with experience |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
Calipari has 2 returning quality players along with the #2 class, seems like a good start to try and win back the sec |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Kansas may be in trouble soon, but should stay quality, maybe they start a new streak trying to prove the haters wrong |
| 4 |
Louisville
|
A very strong 6 or 7 players should keep Louisville going after last years surprising greatness after losing pitino |
| 5 |
Duke
|
#3 recruiting class and Tre and Coach K sounds like a good start, I know many dont think they look as dominant but maybe they can "sneak" |
| 6 |
Maryland
|
Seems like one of the first years in a while Maryland has this high of hopes since moving to the B1G |
| 7 |
Florida
|
Blackshear getting to start this year will help Mike White after getting a top 10 recruiting class as well |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
Cole Anthony sounds like he should pick UNC up real high with Williams, everyone is raving about him, hope he doesn't get hurt |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
Tillie sticking around should help Few wreck the WCC, a top 15 class is pretty surprising (actually crazy surprising) |
| 10 |
Virginia
|
Lost a lot and don't have a huge recruiting class, but its Tony Bennett do I have to say much else. Also Diakite should really help & Clark |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
A big recruiting class should help Jay bring Nova back near the top of the pile after last year just being good |
| 12 |
Seton Hall
|
A strongly veteran team should get SEton hall a lot of eyes on them this year (historically know almost nothign of them) |
| 13 |
Memphis
|
Penny and his #1 class certainly are quite the talk coming into the year, and he did a decent job last year. Should be interesting |
| 14 |
Texas Tech
|
A 16 ranked class, some Grad transfers, and Chris Beard who apparently is the man that can make TTU a strong bball power |
| 15 |
Oregon
|
A top 4 class? wtf, Altman should do well with them as well as having experience with Payton Pritchard |
| 16 |
Baylor
|
Now we all know Scott Drew is a good coach by now, with doing so well with many injuries and lower ranked players |
| 17 |
Ohio State
|
Lots of returning players and a top tier class, pretty solid looking |
| 18 |
Saint Mary's
|
Supposedly good enough to get close to gonzaga in the WCC, and they get a quick transfer from cincy |
| 19 |
Utah State
|
Ranked high by many folks, and have a star in MErril, low in kenpom tho. |
| 20 |
Auburn
|
MAybe a little high, high kenpom, good coach even if people don't like him, though their 3 best (probly) are gone but still seem quality |
| 21 |
Purdue
|
I believe in MAtt Painter despite Carsen Edwards leaving, but they have some quality behind now |
| 22 |
VCU
|
experienced team at a mid major (read an article today about how you shouldnt say that) that were great and sould be great |
| 23 |
Arizona
|
Sean Miller is still has a good coach, a top recruiting class, but granted he doesn't have much returning |
| 24 |
Tennessee
|
while his top recruiting class comes next year seems Tenn should be string with Barnes being a good coach (despite texas fans protests) |
| 25 |
Providence
|
I'm leaning on a proven coach with a good player her for sure |
