With all of these players leaving early and all of this elite talent coming in, Dorm Room Hoops takes a look at who will be the teams to watch next season as we pick our Way-Too-Early Final Four.
Kentucky
The Wildcats will always be a contender in everyone’s mind. That is if Coach Cal stays at the helm. Although the Cats lost a ton of talent off of their roster, there are three dominant players coming in to pick up where these guys left off. Skal Labissiere will come in and will probably lead Kentucky to yet another Final Four.
Louisville
This is a no-brainer for anyone that watches college basketball. Rick Pitino is arguably one of the best coaches in college basketball. He knows how to win and with the talent that he has, and with the guys coming in, this should make for an exciting season.
Michigan State
Tom Izzo and the Spartans may have only gotten a No. 7 seed in this year’s tournament, but it showed how determined this team is. With the addition of two 5-star recruits and two 4-stars, Izzo and the Spartans are bound to make another run to the Final Four — if not the title game.
Butler
This team for some reason always puts itself in the mix for a Final Four appearance every year. Why is that? Because the Bulldogs play fundamental basketball and know when and when not to go for it all. The coaching staff here could not be any better than what they have for a school and team like this. Don’t be surprised to see the Bulldogs make another appearance in the Final Four.
