Way too early top 25 NCAA Basketball 2015-2016 (ESPN)

[VolFreakJosh]

These rankings are a joke but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Kentucky Wildcats headline early Top 25 ranking for 2015-16 men's college basketball season

Half their team is declaring, and they'll still be the favorites. Blah.

 

[McCat]

They're right. It is way too early, and we don't know who's staying, going, or committing.

I saw one story that said cal was gonna build a team around Booker, but saw on ESPN he may be leaving.

Thought it was ulis

Ulis, and made me go wtf.

 

[joevol33]

Maybe was him, I guess I just remember wrong.

 

[McCat]

It's Ulis. Reading that Dakari is declaring, and Booker likely to go too. 7 in all.

Clicked, saw Maryland #5, left.

Yeah, I can't see that at all.

Dez Wells is a huge loss for them.

15-2 in games decided by 9 or less. That ain't happening two years in a row.

I got no issue putting UK in the top 5. Cal reloads every single year with top recruiting classes so I'm not sure why this year will be any different.

Oklahoma will be higher and I think WSU will be very overrated. Kansas could likely be a top 5 team as well. Should be interesting to see what Shaka can do at Texas but I imagine they will be top 25 as well.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Villanova at #7!! LOL They're overrated garbage every year.

UK shouldn't even be a preseason top 15 team. We're losing everyone and only returning Ulis/Poythress from our main rotation. Lee is a question mark to me, because he has potential, but we haven't seen much. It's gonna be up to how the recruits do.

Could be similar to the 2012-2013 Kentucky team perhaps?

I think they'll be better than that. Ulis and Poythress can play.

Better, maybe like the Brandon Knight team. 2013 got derailed at the end because of the Noel injury. Yes, we weren't crazy good that year anyway, but the Noel injury ruined the rest of the year. As long as we stay healthy, I think we'll be a top 20 team and probably a 3 or 4 seed at the worst.
