21. Houston (23-8). The regular-season co-champion in the American Athletic, the Cougars figure to bring back their top six scorers led by Quentin Grimes and Caleb Mills. Kelvin Sampson's young roster will be grown up in 2020-21.
24. Oklahoma State (18-14). The Cowboys welcome the nation's top recruit, Cade Cunningham (No. 1 per 247 Sports Composite list) to a roster that will have size and athleticism. Guard Isaac Likekele, the team's second leading scorer, could be an ideal sidekick to Cunningham.

8. Houston — As Parrish explains, the high ranking for Kelvin Sampson’s squad comes thanks to the expected return of six top scorers from last year. Houston is white hot in the last three years under Sampson, and will be the clear favorite in the AAC barring some surprise roster moves.

19. Houston: Houston was a top 15 team in KenPom this year, and will likely bring back its top six scorers to pair with Kelvin Sampson’s typical defense.

16. Houston Cougars: Houston never quite looked as good as the metrics pegged the Cougars, but Kelvin Sampson's team should be more consistent next season. There's a chance all but one starter return, although DeJon Jarreau and Quentin Grimes could have NBA draft decisions to make. If both return -- along with starter Nate Hinton and sixth man extraordinaire Caleb Mills (13.2 PPG) -- Sampson will have the most talented quartet in the AAC by some distance. The Cougars also bring in ESPN 100 prospect Tramon Mark and Idaho transfer Cameron Tyson (13.5 PPG, 42.9% 3PT) to help on the perimeter. They will have to figure out the frontcourt, as there isn't much proven behind Fabian White. It's hard to doubt Sampson at this point, though, as the Cougars have won 83 games the past three seasons and had a top-21 defense all three campaigns.

23. Houston Cougars
Houston found itself in the Top 25 for most of the second half of the 2019-20 season and they return their top six scorers from a successful 23-8 season. The Cougars won the American Athletic title and figure to be even better with another year of experience under their belts. This looks like a team that could run away with the American next year.
