Very early Big Ten basketball power rankings for 2021-2022

We take a very early look at trying to figure out the Big Ten basketball rosters and power rank the teams heading into 2021-2022.

The end of the college basketball season has been over for quite some time after Ohio State had a very disappointing finale. In fact, most of the Big Ten decided to not show up in the postseason. Since then, there have been guys enter their names in the NBA draft, and a few transfers both in and out of programs.

It all leads to a puzzling picture on how to determine the pecking order for next season, but we’re going to peer into the cloudy crystal ball and try to figure it all out. We know some of the guys that will be leaving because of graduation and hiring of an agent, but not all, so this could and probably will change as rosters become more solid.

Here is our best stab at reading the tea leaves and looking at the Big Ten hoops power rankings for next season as we sit here in May.
