Over the past six months, the men's college basketball landscape has changed. Dramatically. Zach Edey and other elite big men decided against turning pro, and returned for another year. Some of the top stars changed locations (see: Hunter Dickinson to Kansas). Coaches, too. Ed Cooley is at Georgetown now. Micah Shrewsberry is at Notre Dame.
All of that and we haven't even discussed the nearly 2,000 players who entered the transfer portal.
The change and volatility have made it even more difficult to project who will win conference player of the year honors in each of the 32 Division I men's leagues.
