Caleb Love returning is big fish here as is Jaden Bradley. It’s always interesting how double-digit scorers from smaller schools, Dell’Orso and Townsend, should provide a scoring punch, but this isn’t the biggest team. Bryant is the star as a freshman. The biggest loss is Ballo to Indiana, but that was a straight up a “highest bidder” situation and Indiana won. I know that the rosters aren’t completely set but believe it or not, Arizona and Texas Tech are similar in terms of projection, especially by T-Rank. The Wildcats lost a lot of talent and points per game, so it will be interesting how the transfers integrate along with Love, who is a dominant player.
