What?!? You got to be kidding. IMHO, I don't think so. I don't mean to put down UCONN because it's my favorite team though. But how's that possible since I heard one or two players forgo their education to join NBA unless I'm mistaken.

Charlie Villanueva has declared for the draft, but he is the only one expected to leave. Josh Boone and Rudy Gay are going to kick butt next year.

Villanueva should have stayed in school. He's a late first round/early second round pick if he's lucky.

Ahhh, Gay and Boone are staying? Great! I agree that Villanueva should stay in school for one more year. I hope UCONN will be much better next year, I do.

While its neat to already start thinking about next year it is eal hard to think and rank anyone until all have declared one way or the other for the NBA draft...

NC should be great again and I really think that Kentucky will be a lot better than they are ranked as of now...

If for some reason McCants does stay for NC and Garcia stays for Louisville, which I hope he decides to do, I would rank them as 2 of the top 4 or 5 teams...

I would also think of Wake as a top team if Paul decides to stay which I doubt...

Thats the problem, hard to rank these teams without knowing for sure who will or wont be around...

UConn also got Andrew Bynum,6'11" 270 kid coming in for next year.

My guess- Next year, top 5 teams would be UConn, UNC, Duke, Louisville, and Washington.


*Prays for McCants to stay!!!!!* :D
