(my final 2014 ranking in parenthesis)
UCLA (-) - Blockbuster HS class with 3 top 10 kids and 5 in top 35
Cal (-) - Lose Brandon & Jemerigbe but return Boyd & Gray + 2 top 20 HS
USC (-) - Return 7 of top 9 from team that was starting to come together under Cooper
Maryland (4) - Lose Thomas, but return Lexie Brown. Easier road in BiG will help.
Louisville (6) - Big losses but return Hammond & Bria Smith. #3 HS class.
Kentucky (12)- Lose 3 starters but they play a lot of players so ample bench.
DePaul (18) - Return 5 of top 6 from S16 team.
Further down:
Stanford (3), Baylor (5), Ohio St (-), Rutgers (-)
- UConn (1) - Lose Dolson & Hartley, but return NPOY Stewart, AA KML, MoJet. Top frosh will provide depth, but return of Tuck key for thin post.
- UNC (7) - Return everyone from E8 team including Deshields. Probable addition of Aja Wilson gives them dynamite lineup.
- ND (2) - Lose of McBride & Achonwa huge, but gap between #2 & rest was pretty wide this year. Plus Loyd is superstar, Allen was great as a frosh, and #2 HS Turner will help reload.
- SC (9) - Return everyone including SEC POY. Top 10 HS class.
- Tenn (8) - Lose Simmons but return Harrison. Add Massengale back, redshirt Tucker, 2 top 30 HS.
- Texas (17) - Lose #3 scorer Fussell but return everyone else. Add 2 top 10 HS. Should be tops in B12.
- Texas A&M (10) - Lose #3 scorer but return everyone else from E8 team.
- Duke (14) - Lose a bunch of seniors but EWilliams & Wells back + top 5 HS class.
