Only have a few disagreements. 

1-Kansas should be ranked lower. Somewhere like 5 or 6, not 2. I know they are bringing in some serious talent but you just don't replace Embiid and Wiggins. 

2-If Stauskas returns, which is unlikely, I would actually have Michigan as the number 1 team. With McGary returning next year, that team will be very good regardless of Stauskas. 

3-SMU should be lower. Everyone has already jumped on that bandwagon. They missed the tournament and are losing a couple of key contributors from last year, no way they should be ranked number 9. They have Mudiay coming in, but 9 is entirely too high. 

4-Kentucky should be in the top ten. They are returning some serious talent and have a bunch of very good players coming in.

I thought McGary is leaving too.

I thought McGary is leaving too.

Robinson, McGary and Stauskas are all still thinking about leaving, Most people think Stauskas will be the only player that makes the jump though. McGary will have to start working out for NBA teams in a month or so, which will be difficult coming off an injury. I think Robinson and McGary will come back, but you never know when it comes to the draft.

I hope they all come back!  I love watching Michigan's offense!

Could happen but I think it's about a 95 percent certainty that Stauskas is gone. If they all three come back Michigan will be scary good next year.

I honestly can't disagree with a thing you said. Can't really add to it, either. Well done!

Can't believe the media would underestimate Kentucky, again. Agree re Kansas, especially with regard to Wiggins. Players like that come along just ever so often.

Welp I was wrong about Robinson. Robinson and Stauskas are both going pro. Sometimes I wonder who is advising these kids. Robinson isn't even close to ready for the NBA. Robinson will be in the D-League for a while.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe I'm just a little bit slow on the uptake but I have a had time seeing how you can go from not even making it in the tournament to being ranked #9.
