If Crean keeps everyone, and adds maker/bryant, they are going to be a top5 team.
Although, if no one leaves Chapell Hill, the Heels will be the undisputed n1 next year, not even close.


Gotta see who uk loses and who they recruit..

I think Maryland has to be up there too..

But unlike this year you're not gonna have anything close to a dominant unbeatable team it should be a wide open year

Maryland will be, we will see what happens with Layman though, and they will lose Wells.

UK is going to lose the Harrisons, Booker, Poythress, Lyles, Johnson, Towns and WCS.
Unless Skal is Anthony Davis 2.0 they will not be in the conversation for the title.

Probably but some of those guys are second round picks so it's not a guarantee..

Next year I can see a year like last year where a uconn type team wins it because of lack of overly talented teams at the top and about 10-15 of the top teams being pretty close in terms of talent

Oh and a team I forgot is Virginia who's bringing most of their players back..While I'm not a fan of their style and lack of go to guys but with the way they play defense and the fact that Cbb will be weaker next year gotta figure they'll have another big year

Yep they're one of the few college teams who's really explosive on offense if they could get some rebounds and play even average d next year they'll be extremely dangerous

No doubt..with top teams losing their players and not a great freshmen class you're not gonna have any dominant teams like last year so the top should be wide open

IMO it's gonna be a year where they'res gonna be parity and not much difference in the best teams and the 20 ranked team

caught Ben Simmons in the Dick's National Title game this weekend. kid is gonna be so special.

Can't wait for the Hoop Summit to see Skal and see if the hype is real. Checking the mocks for 2016 and he's ahead of Ivan Rabb just about everywhere. I see Ivan as clear top 3 so my interest is further peeked about Skal.

There seems to be a belief that Rabb Swanigan and possibly Brown to Cal..Seems odd to me that a school like that could get a huge package deal unless something extremely shady is going on

nah. just a different breed of kids.

Cal was on Ivan's short list as a school he could possibly be the face of and help bring to prominence. Also he's from the Bay area.

Cali schools have been on Jaylen's radar the whole time, loves the weather, also as he's stated plenty of times he's looking for the school with the right fit. Having Rabb and Swan sucking the defense in gives Jaylen some room to play with and show off some playmaking considering both bigs have both post and PnP skillsets to their games.

those 2 i can see. Caleb i have no idea why though :lol:
