Obviously, the C7+ Friends are looking pretty good this year. Lots of high rankers and talent. I'm not huge the biggest college fan outside MU. Will those teams be just as good next? Are they losing key players?
MU-Looks to be a Top 20 lock if a D. Wilson can be a legit BE PG.
Georgetown- Lose Porter, but I assume Starks and Whittington stay? Probably will be a solid ranked team next year.
Creighton- Does McDermott leave? They lose Echenique. Will they be a tourney team without those two?
DePaul- Any hope?
Butler-Lose 2 best players in Clarke and Smith. Good team ball and they should be solid next year.
Xavier-Lose Taylor but should be better next year.
Villanova- Doesn't really lose anything, so should be better
Providence- Should be better next year, don't lose anyone
Seton Hall- Should be better next year, don't lose anyone
St. Johns- No big loses, should be better next year.
Good news-
The worst 4 teams besides DePaul should be better next year with more upper class leadership. Viill, SH, SJ, and Pro all are returning their best players so they can't be worst.
We should be pretty good next year
Bad news-
Creighton should drop big time next year if Doug leaves for the pros. Butler loses a lot of leadership. We will see how GU does without Porter.
Any input on incoming classes or less stat-based opinions on the future of these teams.
If we are lucky, we get 6 teams in next IMO.
One thing. St. John's may lose Jakaar Sampson to NBA and Deangelo Harrison may not return. They lose those two and they will not be good.

I wouldn't count Depaul out entirely if they ever have a chance at rebuilding under Purnell it'd be when Young and Melvin (and some other guys who don't matter) are Seniors.

6 out of 9 teams would be incredible. I would expect 4, maybe 5.
We will be good next year because at least 4 teams are established, winning programs. If teams like Villanova step up, it just adds to the conference strength.

And they will still have Lavin as coach, which to me is a negative.

I know Depaul has been bad for awhile, but we could at least still count them in the league total (10).
We have the best recruiting class of any of the other teams.
DePaul has another guard from Morgan Park in Chicago coming in next year, Billy Garrett.

He's top 100, if he can play opposite of Young well they'll have that third player they need to be decent.
