Stupidly Early Preseason Rankings
You know, cause I'm excited about college basketball, and I only have to wait 7 months for another game!
Here's a stupidly early look at what I think will be the top 25 next year:
1. Duke (Probably top 5 if Singler goes)
2. Michigan State
3. Purdue (Might be #2 if Hummel comes back 100%)
4. Butler (How big of a defensive drop-off will loss of Veasley be?)
5. Georgetown (assumes Monroe comes back)
6. Villanova (Reynolds is awesome, but will this be a better, more balanced team?)
7. Baylor (Dunn is that good)
8. Pitt
9. Kansas State
10. Xavier
11. Syracuse
12. Texas
13. Ohio State
14. Florida
15. Virginia Tech
16. Illinois
17. Memphis (I believe that juniors and seniors > potential freshman studs)
18. Kansas
19. North Carolina
20. Vanderbilt
21. Florida State (maybe should be higher...)
22. Minnesota
23. Wisconsin (has to be in any top-25 list)
24. West Virginia
25. Missouri
Obviously, much will change depending on who leaves early and which top recruits go where. The coaching carousel also should factor in...
Your thoughts?
