<h2>1. Big 12</h2>
As if the Big 12 couldn&#8217;t get any better as a power conference in college hoops, they go out and add Houston, a perennial powerhouse in the sport over the past half-decade. With the Cougars added to the mix of Kansas, Baylor, and the plethora of top-notch basketball programs within the league, the Big 12 feels a cut above the rest.
<h2>2. St. John&#8217;s</h2>
The Red Storm are on the precipice of their most anticipated season in decades. Not only did they land decorated head coach Rick Pitino, but he&#8217;s also brought plenty of talent. Daniss Jenkins, Jordan Dingle, and RJ Luis are just a few of the key names that Pitino brought to the school. Don&#8217;t be surprised to see St. John&#8217;s ranked in the preseason AP Top 25 this year.
<h2>3. Florida Atlantic</h2>
In today&#8217;s day and age of NIL and constant transferring within the sport, what FAU accomplished this offseason is nothing short of a miracle. Head coach Dusty May inked a ten-year extension with the program rather than accepting lucrative offers thrown his way by high-major programs. The Owls were then able to retain virtually their entire roster, including six of their seven leading scorers, the only departure being Michael Forrest due to graduation. It&#8217;s time to run it back in Boca Raton.
<h2>4. Kansas</h2>
Kansas is showing zero signs of slowing down. The Jayhawks landed top transfer Hunter Dickinson from the portal this past offseason and added former five-star recruit and transfer Arterio Morris and Towson transfer Nick Timberlake. Add in that they landed Flory Bidunga, the fourth-ranked prospect in the Class of 2024, and it looks like Bill Self has his program here to stay amongst the elites for the long-term future.
<h2>5. Dan Hurley</h2>
Dan Hurley has quickly gone from a head coach desperate for postseason success to the big man on campus in Storrs. While he&#8217;s riding high off of bringing home a fifth national title for the Huskies, he&#8217;s got plenty of reinforcements to keep UConn competitive this season. The return of center Donovan Clingan and guard Tristen Newton, paired with the arrival of five-star freshman Stephon Castle, means the Huskies should compete atop the Big East again in 2023-24.
