As always, my ranking was compiled w/out consulting predictive metrics (ya know where to find those) and in talking to a litany of coaches. Teams I'm bullish on:
Arkansas
Texas over Kansas
Purdue over IU
Xavier wins Big East
Notre Dame top-25
Washington St
Boston College
Temple

After checking in on other rankings, human and computer, here's a batch of teams I'm selling perhaps a bit more relative to others. How hard I'm fading varies:
Villanova
Syracuse
Iowa
Ohio State
Seton Hall
Auburn
Marquette
Colorado
Missouri

As story says, 3,616 (!!) D-I men's CBB players went into the portal the last two years alone. A new normal, and it makes forecasting team behavior tougher than ever. But still a ton of fun! It also turns the task of projecting many mid- and low-major leagues into dart throws.
All from Matt Norlander.

Seven freshmen who can outperform their rankings
Each year a new crop of freshmen roll into college basketball and each year a handful of freshmen outperform their ranking and establish themselves as college basketball stars for the years ahead while others hear their names called by Adam Silver after heading off early to the NBA Draft.
This 2022 class in particular was deep and possesses a handful of players that fit the bill.
quote:
NOAH CLOWNEY | PF/C | ALABAMA
247Sports Ranking: No. 96 Overall
Noah Clowney is a 6-foot-9 big man that has long been one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2022 class before entering college.
His size, length, athleticism and flashes of skill have always teased the imagination of what he can become on the court but his lack of consistency and production at the high school level raised caution.
However, there is no denying the talent and abilities of Clowney and there have been positive rumblings out of Tuscaloosa regarding the four-star freshman.
It won't all come together overnight but in time, Clowney can prove to be one that we look back on and ask how we missed.
