UConn, UCLA move the needle in Way-Too-Early Top 25 men's college basketball rankings for 2022-23

On the college basketball calendar, July has long been a month dedicated to recruiting. Rosters are usually set by then, and coaches can begin to turn toward the future of their programs before going all-in on the upcoming season.

For obvious reasons, however, 2020 and 2021 brought some changes to the old model, and July became a more hectic month. In 2020, the deadline to withdraw from the NBA draft wasn't even until early August. Last summer, it was early July -- and the transfer portal was still humming in both years.

But this year, with the immediate eligibility transfer deadline coming in early May and the NBA draft withdrawal deadline in early June, there has been very little action from a roster standpoint.
