The Texas Longhorns are playing their first season of basketball in the SEC. Texas has always been one of the better teams in the Big 12, can they carry over that success this season to their new conference? Rodney Terry has put together a great backcourt out of the transfer portal. Terry has brought in players like Jordan Pope, Tramon Mark, and Arthur Kaluma. Will it be enough to make a run at an SEC title?

The Auburn Tigers are returning several names you are already familiar with this season. While they may be a long shot to win it all, trends and talent may be propelling them toward a class of elite teams nationally. Johni Broome, Chad Baker- Mazara, and others are back and two four star freshmen are joining the roster as well. The SEC title may come down to the last game of the season in Neville. Let's take a look at the year ahead for Bruce Pearl.

The Georgia Bulldogs have not heard their name called on Selection Sunday in what will be 10 years in March. Is this year different? One thing Georgia has done well is recruit talent under Mike White. While this team is young and has great NBA prospects like Asa Newell and Somto Cyril, do they have what they need to break into the tournament? Coming off an NIT run last year with Blue Cain and Silas DeMary Jr. and bringing in transfers like Lawrence, the window might be opening in Athens.
