Bracketology: Post-combine update

It’s been a minute since we’ve put out a Bracketology. A ton of players decided to test the NBA draft waters. A ton more guys entered the transfer portal. We’ve seen a few major coaching changes. Recruits continue to sign. A few decided to turn the tables and go somewhere no one was expecting. The NBA Draft Combine among other workouts like the G-League Elite camp just complete in the past couple of weeks.

Players are starting to get an idea of where and if they’re getting drafted. A few know they’re not getting selected but are willing to sign G-League contracts instead of going back to college. Money is money. Only a few have made it clear on their decision, but speculation is starting to make sense. One of the biggest factors are transfers who are joining good teams and are immediately eligible. Hence why UNC, Gonzaga and Texas Tech are comfortably a top 4 seeds.

Let’s dive in and see what the college basketball world looks like right now.
