Gonzaga has some great recruits coming in and may be better. But they were already good. SMC has some good recruits coming in too but will like be worse. Us and them are probably fringe tourney teams. Then there might be a steep drop off. Pacific loses their best player in Tripp. USF loses their best player in Minlend plus a good C. SCU loses their best two guards. Pepperdine will be similar talent wise but they have to start playing defense to be good. I don’t expect all those team to suck but USF and Pacific are probably worse and SCU who was poised to break out lost their guards. Probably not very deep again next year.
