5 College Basketball teams to watch out for this season

  1. DUKE- With new commits Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum,Frank Jackson And Marques Bolden, Coach K and his blue devils are ready to face any challenge they must face. Note that also Grayson Allen,Matt Jones And 5th Yr Amile Jefferson are returning. Coach K was able to coach 2 top 15 commits to a national championship in 2015 now he has 4 top 15 commits and Wooden Award nominee from last year to coach.
  2. KENTUCKY- With one of its earliest exits in recent in the NCAA Tournament in the last few years Coach Cal and Kentucky look for redemption. Coach Cal was able to pick up De’AAron Fox And Edrice Adebayo two BIG time recruits, how can anyone forget about coach Cals son Brad Calapari another commit. With all of Kentuckys stars gone what can they get done?
  3. ARIZONA- Sean Miller was able to pick up former Christ The King SG Rawle Alkins, the number 16 in ESPN100 will be joined by the number 5 PG in the country Kobi Simmons. Sean Miller has been able to develop his Guards in the last few years {Gabe York} now lets see what he can get done with two big time PG
  4. NORTH CAROLINA- UNC was able to pick up 5 star Center Tony Bradley and SG Seventh Woods.. How can these two young freshman impact a National Champ Runner up. But they arent the main attention, Junior, Justin Jackson looking to come out and have a dominant season and then possibly get drafted in 2017, what does Roy Williams have in store?
  5. KANSAS- Mid 2016 was when the Jayhawks got the news that the number three player in the country (#1 SF) will be flying down to Kansas to join the team they knew they were ready. Alongside Udoka Azubuike this Kansas team will have some strong fowards and stretches to extend the talent on this team.

 

You must be thinking where are teams like Villanova and Oregon at in my top 5, well those two teams may of had a strong 2015-2016 but that is in the past between the teams are a very low amount of highly touted recruits. Many people wanna hear my suprise National Championship choice while here it is. I Have the Duke Blue Devils Losing ZERO games.
