SEC Basketball saw a darkhorse make a run to the Final Four. With the offseason heating up, here’s a look at the top storylines.

The college basketball season is over, at least on the hardwood, but that doesn’t mean things will be quiet in SEC Basketball. There’s plenty to discuss as another season wraps up and teams prepare for the upcoming season in 2019-20.

A good number of players have announced their intentions to enter the 2019 NBA Draft. Headlined by the blue blood Kentucky Wildcats, the LSU Tigers also boast a solid top pick in versatile big man Naz Reid.

There are will be a lot of new faces on the sidelines with head coaching positions though they’re familiar from other places. The SEC got a whole lot stronger on the coaching carousel this offseason with the addition of some experienced names.

The Kentucky Wildcats boast a top recruiting class, per usual but right behind them the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs. The Gators will look to go deeper in the NCAA Tournament next season with a strong class. After a down season in Athens, all eyes will be on Anthony Edwards and company to do work for the Bulldogs.

The Tennessee Volunteers and Auburn Tigers had productive 2018-19 seasons, but they’ll need to bounce back with some new names next season to return to glory. That’s where some teams will be looking to make moves with their 2020 recruiting classes. Here’s a look at the five biggest offseason SEC storylines for 2019.
