With Melo Trimble and Jake Layman returning, and the additions of Georgia Tech transfer Robert Carter Jr. and elite recruit Diamond Stone, the Maryland men’s basketball team was a consensus top-five pick in most experts’ way-too-early preseason rankings last month.
After former Duke guard Rasheed Sulaimon committed to the Terps last week, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothestein bumped Maryland to No. 1 in his still-way-too-early rankings.
Vegas took notice, too. In Bovada’s latest college basketball futures odds, Maryland is the favorite to win the national championship at 9-1, followed by Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina at 10-1.
That’s right: Maryland is the favorite to win the 2016 national championship. Let that sink in.
