Forgot about the VCU decommit, he can shoot. Losing Tokoto is like picking up a top 25 recruit.

Agreed. They will be good - probably very good- but this team still has a lot of question marks surrounding it for them to be treated like some shoe in for the national championship.

but ill take duke and wisconsin as the most overrated
I will agree that, at the moment, Wisconsin is overrated.
Bo Ryan was on Andy Katz's podcast and did not sugarcoat anything; he said that he expects his young squad to endure some growing pains and be exposed within the next month with a difficult non-conference slate, but still hopes Wisconsin is on the "left side" of the column (which he defines as the winning side). He also made mention that he does not expect to get a good read on his team until January.
That being said, Bo has two of the better players in the B1G at his disposal in Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig. Hayes is already one of the better players in the country and Koenig averaged double-figures, had the best assist/turnover ratio in the B1G, and at 6-foot-4 poses a match-up problem at the PG position.
They should be fine come March, especially once the younger guys get some more experience under their belt, but I will agree they are currently overrated.
If Hayes does not turn pro after this season, Wisconsin should sport another elite squad in 2016-17.

this is gonna sound odd since they played in the final last year, but ill take duke and wisconsin as the most overrated. then unc because frick them. also, duke will probably still be good cause they are duke, but overrated is a relative term for me.
Duke isn't even being talked about as a final 4 contender so I dont get how they would be overrated

I am thinking about either Cal or OU. I think both will be good, but not top 15 good.

Is Duke deserving of the No. 5 spot in the AP Poll, though?
If not for Rasheed Sulaimon getting kicked off halfway through the 2014-15 season, Duke would be going into this season with their top-five scorers gone.
That being said, the talent is mesmerizing.

I agree. Kentucky is overrated. Don't get me wrong, I think they will be good and it's hard to bet against them winning the SEC. But, 1 or 2 in the nation? No way. Yes, they always recruit at a high level, but they lost 7 players from that dominant '14-'15 team. The make up of this team looks more like the '13, '14, '11 teams. The are almost completely reliant upon true freshman (as opposed to at least a few 2nd or 3rd year players)
I certainly would not be surprised at all to see them make a run in the NCAAT, possibly to the Final Four. This team though just isn't as scary as last year's group.

I can understand the skepticism surrounding Cal, considering they weren't too great last season. However, on top of a stellar freshmen class, featuring Jaylen Brown and Ivan Rabb, Cal also returns Tyrone Wallace, Jabari Bird, and Jordan Mathews.
Oklahoma returns four of their top five scorers from a team that won 24 games a year ago, including one of the nation's best players, and also bring in a couple solid freshmen. I don't have a problem with their preseason ranking. They should be stellar.

Easily Kansas. Just like every year.

I see your point but I don't think a single one of ESPN's analysts had them as a preseason final four pick (nor should they have)

UNC. Waiting on that NCAA hammer.
