I feel for a lot of these teams, especially in the top 10, they are projecting too many freshman in the starting lineup. Need to let the dust settle on the portal. But here we are anyways

Men's Way-Too-Early Top 25: Where does 2025 champion Florida fall in the rankings?

There are 210 days until the 2025-26 season, but Houston is already the favorite at the top.

Kansas who currently don’t have but one returning player and an average transfer ranked top 15. ESPN loves the Jayhawks

I am hoping at least one or two of our freshmen play and make an impact.

I hope he's the 6th man and gives us an approximation of that Curtis Jones "come in and score" spark.

Am I crazy for being super high on Pleta? I feel like I am crazy but also think hes going to come in and make an unexpected splash next season.

I don’t know if you are or not, but I always think the other way with big guys, and temper expectations, unless athleticism just jumps off the page.

He looks like he could be solid, but you have to remember, the organization he plays with has two levels. He did play on the upper level, but not often and certainly not with big numbers. He was real good while playing with the second level squad.

This is a Euro big man, though. Without seeing a minute of him playing odds simply say he is a few years ahead of the typical American big in terms of offensive skill. We will see if he’s ready for the physicality and defensive demands.

If a guy 21 years old who has been playing professionally against grown men is not just about ready to come in and play meaningful minutes for us right away, I don't know who would be.

Rothstein with some C-level research on our roster, but still has ISU ranked 6th in his way too early top-45

I realize that it's hard to stay on top of the rosters, but Macari Moore decommitted on March 14th. It's hard to get excited about these articles with the lack of detail given.
