The Pac 12 got 4 teams in the tournament this year. We might be looking at 3 next year:
1. AZ is losing the whole backcourt. McConnell graduates and Johnson and Jefferson leaving for the draft. They were the strength of the team.
2. ASU loses coach and who knows how many recruits.
3. UCLA lose Powell to graduation and Looney to the draft.
4. Stanford loses Randle, Nastic and Brown. Nearly all of their scoring
5. OR loses Young whose scoring will be hard to replace
6. WSU loses Lacy but has a young roster
7. WA loses Kent and has already lost Upshaw.. Frontline depleted
8. USC is young and was getting better. Will climb out of the cellar.
9. Col loses Booker but the rest return
10 UTAH loses Wright and Bachynski but has enough retunrning talent to be the preseason favorite. The loss of Poeltl would be costly. Doubt he goes
11. OSU was a big over achiever. Will have a hard time matching that next year
12. Cal. we shall see what happens in recruiting
Everybody will restock with recruits but have a lot of holes to fill. AZ had some nice bench players but nothing like they are losing. McConnell will be the key loss.
