Predicting next season’s college basketball rosters has become a more daunting task than ever, with significant changes expected due to both generous NIL offers and transfer waivers. Currently, numerous key players are either in the transfer portal or contemplating their next move ahead of the April 22 deadline.

The top-ranking spots are filled by Houston, leading the pack primarily due to the return of four of their seven top scorers from a championship contender team. Following them are Duke and Purdue, showcasing strong recruiting classes and core players returning from effective campaigns.

Plan for continuous updates of rankings as future transfers materialize and leading prospects make their choices across the basketball landscape.
