I know it seems early, but it is never too early to talk a little bball. The preseason rankings are out and to tell you the truth this season has the makeup for a top heavy season. The top 8 or 9 teams are miles better than the rest. The top 4 teams are pretty solid right now.
1. Kentucky: You know the saying “next man up”, well coach Cal’s philosophy is “next team up”. Every year this guy recruits absolute stub ballers , and with the return of the Harrison twins, this season could be the best Kentucky team since the great Anthony Davis team of 2012.
2.Arizona: These Wildcats can play some serious basketball. They only issue is that they are going to be without last year’s leading scorer Nick Johnson, but they return most of their starters from last year and have a dynamite recruiting class. Stanley Johnson will be a phenom this year and will carry the Wildcats into March
3. Wisconsin: This is my favorite team in the top 10 minus Louisville of course. “Bo Knows”, no, not Bo Jackson, but Bo Ryan. Bo Ryan is a great college basketball coach. This team is designed a little differently than the other top teams this year, but that is what makes them great. This team will hop on the back of big Frank Kaminsky. Kaminsky is a preseason Wooden Award hopeful, and is considered by many as the best college basketball player in the country.
4. Duke: I hate Duke… I will still give coach K love for putting up a solid squad year in and year out, but this year coach K got aggressive with recruiting. He has already announced that his star freshman center Jhalil Okafor will declare for the draft next summer. Anyway coach K pulled a play out of Kentucky’s playbook this off-season buy recruiting a plethora of talent with Okafor and Tyus Jones to go along with some seasoned veterans like Quinn Cook and Rasheed Suilamon.
Let’s skip a few…
8. Louisville: First off, I am the biggest Louisville basketball fan New Jersey has to offer. I am expecting a solid season from the Rick Pitino led Cards. Every year Louisville goes under the radar because they don’t recruit one and done type players, but Uncle Rick has a few tricks up his sleeve every year. He has young talent mixed with savvy veterans like Montrezl Harrell and Wayne Blackshear. The rest of the roster is made up of Freshman and Sophomores. It should be interesting to see how well they do this year. Everyone who knows a lick of college basketball will know that Lousiville starts really playing good ball by February into March. If it looks like they are struggling in December and January, don’t worry they will be right there at the end.
Overall, college basketball is my bread and butter, so I will be all over this the week after Thanksgiving. Mark these two dates down on your calendar
November 14th- (first game) #8 Louisville @ Minnesota
December 27th- #8 Louisville vs. #1 Kentucky
It's Just a Fantasy World 
Had no idea basketball was also your forte. I like the added aspect it brings to your blog. Broadening your post topics will definitely bring more viewers. I also agree, most people don’t like Coach K but year after year you certainly gotta hand it to the guy because being a perennial powerhouse is far from easy.
