Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | Its the Zags. |
2 | UCLA | Shocker team in the NCAA tourney last year, great coaching staff |
3 | Texas | I have faith in Beard, recruiting was okay, but it could've been better in my eyes, but this and momentum will help them out most |
4 | Michigan | Momentum from last season, good recruiting season. |
5 | Kansas | It's Kansas, Remy Martin will be a cornerstone of the court |
6 | Villanova | Trey Patterson will incorporate well with the offense. Good look ahead in my opinion |
7 | Purdue | Matt Norlander put it best on CBS, but I think that they more a 7/6 rather than a 2/3 like he suggests |
8 | Duke | Same reason for Kentucky, but it's Duke. |
9 | Kentucky | Its Kentucky, great recruiting and amazing choah, we'll see if this year is better. |
10 | Baylor | Coming off of a national championship, they'll have some natural momentum even with key players lost to the pros |
11 | Memphis | Great coach, staff, and recruitment class. They'll be a force to be reckoned with. |
12 | Illinois | Honestly hard to say, They did great last year, lack of to 50 recruits makes it not a guarantee, but I see promise |
13 | Alabama | Great coach, good last season momentum, good recruiting class even without big losses to the pros |
14 | Arkansas | I could go on forever, but I think that there may be some kinks to work out with the transfers into the offense, but the whole team is great |
15 | Ohio State | Even after the lost to ORU last year, there talent swept floor is makes them a top 15 team |
16 | Houston | |
17 | Oregon | |
18 | Tennessee | |
19 | Auburn | |
20 | Florida State | |
21 | North Carolina | |
