1. Arizona Wildcats
Key Returners: Allonzo Trier, Rawle Alkins, Dusan Ristic, Parker Jackson-Cartwright, Keanu Pinder

New Arrivals: DeAndre Ayton, Emannuel Akot, Ira Lee, Brandon Randolph, Alex Barcello
Buzz: Rarely does a team lose four prominent players, including its defensive stopper (Kadeem Allen) and a rare offensive talent (Lauri Markkanen), yet seemingly improve the next season. Such is the case for Arizona.

Arizona scored big this spring, with both Allonzo Trier and Rawle Alkins opting to return for at least one more season. The Wildcats got further good, unexpected news in May when 5-star prospect Emmanuel Akot reclassified into the class of 2017. He joins DeAndre Ayton to headline a stellar crop of recruits joining a veteran roster. Among the returners with breakout potential are Dusan Ristic and Parker Jackson-Cartwright, and reserve Keanu Pinder has high upside.

The Wildcats have not been to the Final Four since losing the 2001 national championship game. Four Pac-12 championships and three Elite Eight trips under head coach Sean Miller have fans and pundits alike antsy for Arizona to get back to the Final Four. The pressure is on, as UA will likely enter this comings season as the No. 1 team in the nation.
