ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

Both Athlon and Street & Smith’s rank the Wildcats No. 1 while Lindy’s has them No. 2 behind Michigan State. (Blue Ribbon Yearbook has yet to announce its picks.)

Athlon also noted that “Sean Miller’s Loaded ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcatsâ€� were the No. 1 “thing to watchâ€� this season while putting Allonzo Trier and DeAndre Ayton on its second all-American team.

Street & Smith’s, a longtime annual publication that went under the Sporting ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ banner in recent years, had Trier as a second-team all-American but Ayton didn’t make second or third team.

Lindy’s doesn’t pick traditional all-American teams but instead ranks the 25 top players at each position. It had Rawle Alkins as the No. 4 shooting guard, Trier as the No. 4 small forward, Ayton as a "freshman of note" power forward – but did not list Dusan Ristic under the Top 25 centers nor Parker Jackson-Cartwright among the Top 25 point guards.

All three publications picked the same top five in the Pac-12: 1. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, 2. USC, 3. UCLA, 4. Oregon and 5. Stanford.

(Disclosure: I did Pac-12 previews and picks for Street & Smith's but did not rank teams or players nationally.)
