The calendar has turned to June, which means 99% of roster movement and decisions have been made. That’s especially true with the deadline for players to return from the NBA Draft having passed, and a few players having made that decision. In fact, a couple of those moves have moved some teams up the latest way-too-early power rankings for next season.
Here’s the latest update for the top-25. Honorable mentions include Missouri, Purdue, UCLA, Texas A&M, and Saint Louis.

Last year’s transfer portal haul had more ups than downs with the Hoosiers in Coach Darian DeVries first season. He’ll be without his son, Tucker, but there’s a lot to like with the new crop of players from the portal. Sherrell and Yigitoglu are proven high-major big men and upgrades over last year’s frontcourt.
Speaking of proven, the backcourt has that in terms of scoring. Burton, when healthy, is a prolific scoring guard, while Lindsay and Mustaf are capable complementary guards. The key concern is that most of these guys weren’t known as defenders at their previous stops, so there needs to be improvement there for Indiana to get back into national contention.
