HenraldFunk's Ballot for Preseason of 2021-22| 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 |
