There are also incoming freshmen and transfers at UNC, Wake and Maryland who should play important roles for their teams.
I haven’t given it a lot of thought but I suspect that UNC and Duke will again be at the top followed by a group of Clemson, Miami, Virginia Tech and Wake. These six teams should be NCAAT quality teams, IMO. The fate of the remaining teams will rest on how they make up for personnel losses although it certainly appears that Virginia, BC and Florida State will bring up the rear.
