After the calendar adjustments of the last two men's college basketball offseasons -- later NBA drafts, leading to later NBA draft withdrawal deadlines -- and a rise in the rate of notable high school reclassifications, the past six months didn't see too many changes. There were no landscape-shifting moves like in August of last year, when Jalen Duren and Emoni Bates reclassified into the class of 2021 and enroll at Memphis for the 2021-22 season.
We did, however, still make some tweaks since the last Way-Too-Early update in August, after reevaluating rosters.
More importantly, we have finally made it to the final weeks before the 2022-23 season -- and it has been a long road since we released our initial Way-Too-Early Top 25 on the night of the 2022 national championship game.
