Rank | Team | Reason |
1
|
Gonzaga
|
Have probably best duo in CBB in Timme and Chet. Plus they got two star recruits and a good amount of players returned
|
2
|
UCLA
|
Juzang plus most of the squad returning. Plus a top transfer and Peyton Watson who I rate highly is recruited
|
3
|
Michigan
|
Dickinson returning plus the best recruiting class in my opinion. And I'm very high on their coach.
|
4
|
Kansas
|
It was an off year but that's cause their PGs sucked and it was covid. Plus they got some great pgs. Plus a deep af roster.
|
5
|
Villanova
|
Nova had major injury problems but with those players and their great recruiting class they gonna be tough
|
6
|
Texas
|
Got some great transfers and a coach I value highly. Lost a few good players to the draft though.
|
7
|
Purdue
|
The player I value very highly is Ivey plus they have Edey that compliments him well. Not as deep as the teams above.
|
8
|
Baylor
|
Not much of the team returned but got some adequate players. I dont see them having a year like last year.
|
9
|
Kentucky
|
Bad year last year but they got the best transfer class plus Calipari. Not as deep as you might think.
|
10
|
Duke
|
I dont see this year being elite even if it's coach KS last year. They got the best prospect in the class imo but the roster not deep.
|
11
|
Memphis
|
I regard recruits highly. So duren and Bates are incredible but I didn't put them high because penny is not an elite coach.
|
12
|
Illinois
|
I'm big on Kofi and I value the coach well but I don't have them as deep as a squad people are suggesting.
|
13
|
Houston
|
Houston lost Grimes but not much more. I value their coach highly plus they got some good transfers. Deep as well.
|
14
|
Alabama
|
Shackelford and Quinerly returning who I have as underrated. Love JD Davison. Otherwise I don't trust the coach too much.
|
15
|
Oregon
|
Richardson and gurrier are great. But I don't value the coach too highly. Good transfer role players but not too deep.
|
16
|
Arkansas
|
Arkansas is already deep plus Lykes is coming back. Don't trust the coach and the spacing just decent.
|
17
|
North Carolina
|
With Roy retiring I don't see much of a future but they still have a ton of good recruits of the past 3 years. future
|
18
|
Ohio State
|
Love Liddell and the roster very deep. The coach is good too but the roster is not as deep as recent years.
|
19
|
Tennessee
|
JJJ returning plus they got Kennedy Chandler who I really like. Good coach but not as deep as people might think.
|
20
|
Maryland
|
Maryland had a fantastic transfer portal so they will be deep. Not the greatest recruits and a decent coach.
|
21
|
Virginia
|
They lost a lot of good players but Clark looks great and you always gotta respect the coaching staff of UVA.
|
22
|
Florida State
|
Florida State iffy for me. Not a deep roster, barely any recruits but an insanely good coach the past few years.
|
23
|
Auburn
|
I'm big on walker Kessler and Jabari Smith but they lost the best of their players last year.
|
24
|
Michigan State
|
I mainly put them here because I'm big on Tyson Walker because I value Defense a lot. And I expect Izzo to do well.
|
25
|
UConn
|
Diggins and Sanogo I really like plus a decent coaching staff. Not as deep as you might think.
