I realize Kentucky lost its top six players. And that no school has ever won back-to-back titles with such roster turnover. And that Indiana is really talented. And Louisville is so deep that multiple Cardinals have “decided” to transfer to free up scholarships for more talented prospects. I’d still vote Kentucky No. 1 in the preseason. Why? Because talent typically triumphs over all in college basketball. You know it. I know it. Even Jeff Goodman knows it. And despite the departures of Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague, Doron Lamb and Darius Miller, nobody can match UK’s roster strictly in terms of talent.
