Now that the post-season is over, time to look forward to next year. ESPN's Jeff Borzello projects a top 25 that has Dayton as #18 and SLU at #25.

18. Dayton Flyers​

After falling just short of the NCAA tournament, Anthony Grant and the Flyers shouldn't have to sweat out Selection Sunday in 2023. Dayton returns all five starters from a team that beat Kansas, Miami, Virginia Tech and Davidson -- and with six of its top seven players last season only freshmen, it could be the start of a very successful run for Grant. Malachi Smith was one of the best freshman point guards in the country this past season, while 6-foot-10 big man DaRon Holmes II is a future NBA player. Dayton was elite shooting the ball last season and also had a top-40 defense for most of the season. If the young core takes the expected step forward, the Flyers could be very, very good.

Projected starting lineup:

Malachi Smith (9.3 PPG)
Kobe Elvis (8.9 PPG)
R.J. Blakney (6.5 PPG)
Toumani Camara (10.9 PPG)
DaRon Holmes II (12.8 PPG)

25. Saint Louis Billikens​

This might be my out-on-a-limb pick for the Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25. Last year I started out with Virginia Tech in the top 10, and I had Creighton at No. 2 in 2020, so it doesn't always work out. In which case -- sorry, Saint Louis. But I'm a big fan of the Billikens' roster for next season. Travis Ford's top seven scorers are back from this past season, including Yuri Collins, the nation's assist leader, and elite 3-point shooter Gibson Jimerson. Saint Louis is also getting back Javonte Perkins, a second-team All-Atlantic 10 selection in 2021 who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. They'll have to make strides defensively, but they have the firepower to compete with anyone.

Projected starting lineup:

Yuri Collins (11.1 PPG)
Javonte Perkins (17.1 PPG in 2020-21)
Gibson Jimerson (16.1 PPG)
Jordan Nesbitt (8.2 PPG)
Francis Okoro (10.8 PPG)

Arkansas is No. 1 in Way-Too-Early Top 25 college basketball rankings for 2022-23

Arkansas hasn't won a national title or reached a Final Four in 25-plus years. The Razorbacks are ESPN's early favorite to win the 2023 national championship.

Dayton is the Battle for Atlantis in November with Kansas, Tennessee, USC, NC State, Wisconsin, Butler, and BYU. Not sure what the rest of their OOC schedule looks like but that will give them opportunities for quality Ws.

It feels like the A10 has the makings of a P5 level of standard next season. The coaches that have been added are proven. Except for KE. Let that sink in. Scary but exciting at the same time. Victor Bailey is a nice add, but we need some big bad mofo's if we want to finish top 4.

Another Preseason Top 25 LIst

After winning his second title, will Kansas coach Bill Self be competing for a third championship next season?

With an NCAA ruling looming, and likely coming soon, the future is uncertain for Bill Self and the Jayhawks

DAYTON

The Flyers' ranking is based on Dayton returning the top eight scorers from a team that just missed the NCAA Tournament - among them double-digit scorers Daron Holmes and Toumani Camara. If Anthony Grant can keep his talented freshmen out of the transfer portal, the Flyers' future is bright in the Atlantic 10.

26

SAINT LOUIS

The Billikens' ranking is based on Saint Louis returning all five starters - among them backcourt mates Yuri Collins and Gibson Jimerson. Travis Ford should have SLU in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in a four-tournament span.
