Now that rosters are a lot more settled what do you think your team(s) starting five and depth chart will look like for the 2026-27 season? I'm interested to see what fans/insiders think regarding how their teams will shake out as it helps me shape my predictions for the upcoming season.

Title

If these two split off bc NCAA has no leadership, power or protection from lawsuits... Would basketball be impacted as much as football?

Guessing can't just break away for football - although w all the reconferencing that happened, it was on the table once to make the football super conference wo impacting other sports.

There’s no denying the fact that the new Pac-12 has stronger programs at the top led by Gonzaga, SDSU, Utah State. But if we’re comparing the 2 conferences from top to bottom I’m not so sure that the new Pac-12 is as deep of a conference as the Atlantic 10. The Atlantic 10 has Dayton, Saint Louis, VCU who are usually always legit. Loyola Chicago, George Mason, Davidson, and Saint Joes are also great programs in certain years whenever they have enough of a senior led squad. While the Pac-12 at the middle and the bottom of the conference is pretty weak.

Syracuse or Georgetown? I grew up watching both programs compete for titles in the old Big East and consistently put themselves out there on the national stage. Now both programs have regressed to all time lows and are lucky just to even be in the NCAA tournament or conference race conversation every now and then.

Buckeyes are bringing in two five-stars this year. A 6'9 wing with a 7'3 wingspan who isn't even 18 yet, and a guard out of Oak Hill (same pipeline that produced Melo and KD). First pair of five-stars for OSU hoops since Will Buford and BJ Mullens back in '08.

They talked about this on this week's episode of The Script. Dave Holmes made the point that Deibler basically lost the school's all-time leading scorer and the team may actually be better for it. Diebler's now in year two, with real talent to work with.

Not saying Final Four, but this feels like a real jump for a program that has consistently underperformed and been outside of the top-25 conversation for too long.

Anyone else weirdly more hyped for this hoops season than usual right now?

Welcome to Whose Line is it Wednesday, where all the fouls are made up, but the points still matter.

• Keep skits in the form of a statement, not a question
• Any skits longer than two lines should be in quotations.
• If you add any additional commentary, put the skit in quotations. If you don't understand the concept, a skit looks like this: "Things you could say to Chris Jones that you couldn't say to your girlfriend."
• It's not funny to say "Refs worse than Karl Hess" and name people who might be worse (let's be honest; it's probably just a blank comment); it's funny to say "Refs better than Karl Hess." Think about which way of writing the skit is funnier before posting it.

Another expected reclass for Cal and seems to have finalized the roster for 2026. Center is still the weakest link of the team but has been strengthened somewhat.

Florida

Michigan State

Texas

Duke (before eliminated in historically embarrassing fashion again)

You're welcome.

They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

This picture is interesting. The consensus All-Americans are all present (edit: no Ewing because John Thompson wouldn’t allow it). But Playboy pulled some guys in that the AP didn’t. James Banks and Gordon were arguably not even the best players on their team.

Louie C. Looking young!

Michael Jordan (North Carolina)
Akeem (Hakeem) Olajuwon (Houston)
Patrick Ewing (Georgetown)
Wayman Tisdale (Oklahoma). RIP
Chris Mullin (St. John's)
Sam Bowie (Kentucky)
Sam Perkins (North Carolina)
Melvin Turpin (Kentucky)
Lancaster Gordon (Louisville) all-name team
Leon Wood (Cal State Fullerton). Current NBA referee
James Banks (Georgia)

He's 23 so there might be eligibility issues.

Is there anyone considered to be the Zach Lowe of college hoops? Someone who can handle analytics, x's and o's, and the inane? Been looking for someone who scratched the itch for college basketball the way he goes for nba. Bonus points of they have a podcast I can subscribe to as well
