RJ Davis is reportedly set to return to Chapel Hill to play for Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels for a fifth year, is he now the favorite to win college basketball's National Player of the Year Award? And with Seth Trimble also returning for the 'Heels, is North Carolina positioned to be a top three team in the preseason? Or do they still need to add transfer portal stars to replace Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram?

14 high major college basketball programs have new coaches heading into the 2024-25 season, but who made the best hire? We discuss all 14, including Mark Pope replacing John Calipari at Kentucky, who replaced Eric Musselman at Arkansas, who replaced Andy Enfield at USC.

Baylor lands Jeremy Roach in the transfer portal and it should be a great get for Scott Drew, who decided to stay in Waco rather than taking the Kentucky job. The Bears look poised to also bring in Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo.

Indiana has been on an absolute tear. What is what Mike Woodson had to have in order to keep his job?

Michigan, while not able to enroll Johnell Davis, is loading up with players who have multiple years of eligibility, have good positional size, and are good rebounders.

Kentucky has now lost every scholarship-level player from last season’s roster (and lost all but one of the incoming freshmen). Mark Pope has a long, uphill climb ahead of him, but should be able to navigate. Can he get anyone to stay in Lexington? Adou Thiero? Can he convince anyone to come with him from BYU to Kentucky?

Duke is in a similar boat although they retained two returners – Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster. How will Jon Scheyer utilize the portal…or rather: build around Cooper Flagg?

For the third straight offseason, the Michigan Admissions department has cost the basketball team the opportunity at an elite-level athlete who could immediately help – this time it was FAU transfer Johnell Davis.

The College Basketball offseason is still in its early stages, but that doesn't mean it's too early to take a look at a top 25 projection for the upcoming season. Both the Kansas Jayhawks and Houston Cougars look like they'll compete for top billing out of the Big 12 conference next season, but where does defending champion UConn fall?

BYU hired Kevin Young from the Phoenix Suns at a faster-than-normal pace. Because of his NBA ties, it’s hard to know what to expect moving forward for the Cougars. Young will stay with the Suns through their playoff run, so the expectation is that assistants will handle recruiting in the mean time. Will Coach Young be able to entice back players like Aly Khalifa or Dallin Hall

UConn landed a big man on Wednesday in the form of Michigan transfer Tarris Reed. This will allow Dan Hurley to continue playing a platoon big man system as he has done the previous two national championship seasons with Adama Sanogo/Donovan Clingan in 2023 and Clingan/Samson Johnson in 2024.
