"College basketball rankings: Late recruiting lifts Duke to No. 6 in Top 25 (and one)" - CBS Sports

"The CBS Sports Preseason Top 25 (and one) will continue to change over time -- specifically when underclassmen who have declared for the NBA Draft without agents finalize decisions and impactful prospects still uncommitted announce their college destinations. But, for now, Kansas, Arizona, Michigan State, North Carolina and Wichita State represent the top five....
1. Kansas
2. Arizona
3. Michigan State
4. North Carolina
5. WSU
Notable players definitely gone: Daishon Smith
Notable players also expected to leave: None
Notable players expected to return: Markis McDuffie, Landry Shamet, Darral Willis, Shaquille Morris, Conner Frankamp, Zach Brown, Rashard Kelly, Rauno Nurger, Austin Reaves
Notable newcomers: Asbjorn Midtgaard, Samajae Jones
Why the Shockers are here: Almost every relevant player from a Wichita State team that won 31 games and finished eighth at KenPom should be back -- most notably Markis McDuffie and Landry Shamet. So Wichita State will be the favorite in the American Athletic Conference in its first year in the American Athletic Conference.
6. Duke
7. Louisville
8. Kentucky
9. Villanova
10. USC..."
