Triad, unfortunately it appears that based on the OP, instead of being 'loaded' for the 2016-17 season, one could say that Duke is 'unloaded' for this coming year!
With all the recruiting and transfers and early leaving, it is surprising how well most of the predictions still stand up to what the predictions are currently.
The two teams that stand out as not being as strong as expected are Duke (with transfers and JPM's continued issues and TN with a pretty chaotic 2016 campaign and a sort of desperation recruiting class coming in after missing out on their first tier recruits.
Baylor I would say is stronger than predicted with last year's and this year's recruiting success and Dawn with her filling in recruiting weakness with transfer strength is also maintaining their lead in the SEC.
The PAC is going to be an interesting situation - it is finally more than just Stanford and an occasional dark horse, but they graduated some serious talent in that league so can they maintain the overall strength?
