The Way-Too-Early Top-25 basketball rankings aren’t that early anymore. While it’s only June, most schools’ rosters are set for next season, barring a few transfers and reclassifications.

Kentucky is bidding farewell to four starters, with PJ Washington, Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro all leaving early for the NBA and Reid Travis graduating -- but the Wildcats received huge news near the NBA draft deadline, when EJ Montgomery and Nick Richards decided to return to Lexington.
