A&M is loaded up front but have nothing as far as guards go. The Williams kid is a freak of nature, quite possibly the most athletic power forward in the country. I would put Florida and Bama ahead of them and maybe Vandy.
Gilder is a pretty good player, averaged 14 a game and is an above average shooter. JJ Caldwell was top 40ish last year and had to redshirt, he's a true point and they have another four star freshman point guard. Their backcourt isn't great but it's not bad either, better than Louisville's.
Cincinnati and A&M are way too high, but other than that....ok.
I just don't see how everybody is putting Duke 1 even with Bagley. They return 1 starter and will prob start 4 freshman. I would think Arizona, Mich St. would clearly be 1 and 2.
Remind me why Kansas is so high. I thought Jackson and Mason are gone.
It's not the same roster at all, last year they were a depleted team due to injuries and inexperience, guys playing out of position..won't be the case this year. I said they would suck last year after schilling and carter went down.
The players that everyone considers their main players were their main players last year, save maybe one freshman. We'll see but I think they'll disappoint given these expectations.

You make a fair point in that their best players will be the same this year but consider those freshmen were top 30-40 range types except for Bridges (though Ward played like a 5 star), hard for players like that to carry a team but as sophomores they should be ready since they were all good as freshmen and are now experienced, battle tested and likely improved.
