Im going:

1. Kentucky- eight five stars and a very high four star. More talent than the GSW.
2. Duke- 3-4 super stars but not the depth of U.K.
3. Michigan St.- Izzo and talento
4. Arizona- Miller is due
5. Villanova-more Cats the merrier
 
Cats aren't number 1. Duke is definitely above us right now.
Our class is very overrated...zero super stars. Our best player was ranked 8th overall, and our point guard is no Fox, Wall, Knight or Teague.

My geacious Louis how on Gods green earth can arguably the GOAT class be overrated?
Make no mistake about it Knox and Diallo will dominate college basketball for the one year they are in it.
 
1. Michigan State
2. Arizona
3. USC
4. Xavier
5.Kentucky

USC is loaded, they're so underrated. Duke has no depth. We'll likely lose a couple of games we shouldn't early on due to youth which will hurt our seeding. I thought about wichita as well, I think I'd have them somewhere between 6-10 though, and on 2nd thought so would KU as I'm replacing them with Xavier, forgot about Bluitt coming back

Not sure why you would think Duke is ahead of us?

Zero Super stars? Not sure about that. Personally, if Vanderbilt didn't get injured he would be top 3 talent.

However, i wouldn't rank Cats #1 either, but definitely ahead of Duke.
 
IMO the composite polls will be
1. Duke
2. Arizona
3. MSU
4. UK
5. WSU

I think UK wins it all.

The GOAT class?? You're in for a surprise.
Diallo and Knox < Fox and Monk

Its really not just about 2 players. For both you and Kwilt....
You just mentioned those are UK's stars, im telling you they aren't super star game changers. They'll have to be for this team, but if you think we're #1 youre nuts.
Give me 1 Anthony Davis or John Wall over 8 pretty good players.

You think Duke will be ahead of Arizona and Michigan st preseason? I doubt that very much, this won't be one of K's better teams imo.

um, i did not.

Second, i did not say Cats would be #1.

Third, 2014 team went to championship with a lot of good players too. Definitely no player in caliber of Wall or Davis.

What does Duke do when Duval gets in foul trouble? Play Allen at point which is what screwed them last year? They have no quality depth, o Connell and tucker are their best bench players. They have a good starting five yes but nothing spectacular and Bolden isn't the player he was hyped to be. Three top 10 freshmen and Allen, I don't see that as a top team. Duke will get bounced early again.

If Bagley joins Duke then that changes everything, I agree. I really hope that doesn't happen.

People Forget get Vanderbilt was ranked 4-6 in alot of services before his injury! Diallo, Vanderbilt, Knox, Washington by themselves would be ranked probably no less then the 3rd best class in country.. Plus what I am learning is that Washington and Alexander are both underrated..
We have all kinds of superstars on our roster.

1 Zona
2 MSU
3 UK
4 Duke
5 USC
Kentucky will win it all since there are probably 6-8 future NBA players on Roster
Diallo
Knox
Vanderbilt
Washington
Richards
Green
Alexander
Gab
SKJ, It might be another year down road but SKJ and GAB will develope and become NBA talent.. People forget they are young not everyone is one and done but those 2 have tones of untapped talent.. This team by march will be able to wear other teams out. It Gab and SKJ get it together this team is going to be really really good! Diallo, Knox, Washington, Vanderbilt, Green will be superstars for this team bank on it!!

I just can't rate Arizona as high as the rest of you until Miller proves he can actually accomplish something with the star power he always has. So far, nothing.

You predicting national championship for the Cats?
 
Vanderbilt is a stud. I believe he'll be a lottery pick OAD, myself. I wouldn't trade rosters with anyone, especially not Duke. Good team, yes. Best team in the country? Sorry, don't see it.

Currently:

1. MSU
2. Zona
3. KU
4. UK
5. Duke

But if Bagley plays for UK, Duke, or Zona, then move them up to 1.
 
I don't know who would be in my top five except for Arizona and Kentucky. I think depth will be a problem for Duke even with Bagley.

And people are getting waaaay ahead of themselves in ranking MSU. They have not earned the hype.
 
This is a perfect example...
We have the most knowledgable fans, but we also have the least perspective. Every year we think UK is going to win it all. Every. single. year.
We don't even have ONE returning player thats a difference maker, not one recruit in the top 5 and possibly the 2nd worse PG in the Cal era.......and we're one scotch away from predicting 40-0.
