Duke is loaded BTW - I've seen some game practice. By end of year, JBB and Rippey will be the two guy getting the PT. Rippey is different, incredibly strong base, quick as lightning, very springy, extra gear. He is that old school point guard that feeds energy into the entire team. It's going to be impossible to keep him off the floor.
Boozer and Foster are more of that slow, bigger CG. Neither has the "it" factor. Duke is going to win a title in one of these next two years, I hate to say it.
JBB is a dude. That guy is big, long and skilled. If they get Blackwell and JBB going as their primary scorers, they will be really tough to beat. Right now easily the highest ceiling. By the end of the year, that team could be unstoppable.
Florida is the same team as last year. Guard play is meh. I'm not a Boogie Fland buyer.
Illinois could be very, very good. The Vaaks kid is legit, will play a very big PG/initiator. Coleman is a fiery freshman 5*. They also have significant upside.
UConn will be the toughest team in the country - will have to take their punches. Their starting lineup will have 3 football players on it.
If you asked me today who is in this year's F4, it's not much of a reach, but I'd start with Duke, Illinois, UConn and a surprise team, call it Texas.
