Summary

Florida Gators surge as NBA Draft early entry deadline shakes up college basketball power rankings. Star forward Thomas Haugh, projected as a lottery pick, stuns observers by returning to Gainesville, joining Alex Condon and Reuben Chinyelu to solidify Florida’s frontcourt. UConn, Duke, and Illinois also emerge as major winners, but North Carolina reels after losing Henri Veesaar with few reliable big men left in the transfer portal. Which programs made the right moves—and who’s scrambling after deadline surprises?
