I don't see how Cuse losing 2 of it's top 5 will be able to hang with Oregon top 7 of King Ches,Hunter,Maton,Thomet,Anderson,Neuman and Tamango thoughts I know one thing Oregon and Cuse will go 1-2 just not sure which Order but I'm hoping for Oregon first :) GO DUCKS
Oregon has killer talent every year and rarely win. Don't see the trend changing.
Syracuse returns 4 guys that finished in the top 50 (2 in the top 10). That enough to be competive if you get some new recruit, transfer or freshman/soph to step up next year
Colorado returners don't like quite as good but Dressel and Saarel both have top 10 potential but they have to replace a bunch of seniors after that.
Oregon needs Maton (85th), Neuman (56) and Neuman(46) to take big steps up. Sometimes that doesn't happen. A lot of the really good guys are good from the start (top 15)
Stanford has to replace to the Rosa twins and hope they don't end up with 2 guys running almost 33 mins.
Oregon and Stanford have a depth of recruits. Who knows if how well they will develop.
Colarado and Syracuse have some good guys but they aren't quite as deep.
To some extent a lot will come down to injuries (or whatever you want to call what happened to Saarel), gets that 5th year transfer or kenyan recruit, or whose top freshman turns into a top 15 guy.
