This is Part 2 of a five Part series getting you ready for next season. Check out Predicting the 2009 Tourney, which was the first part. Still to come after this is Predicting the Seedings, Tournament Playout, and Player of the Year Watch.
#1: 
Texas Longhorns - I expect Augustin to return to this already stellar roster.
#2:
Connecticut Huskies - They aren't losing anybody, aside from possibly Thabeet. I see him returning.
#3: 
USC Trojans - O.J. Mayo would be a fool not to return to a young, promising team. He needs to develop anyways.
#4: 
Notre Dame Fighting Irish - The Irish lose senior Rob Kurz, but experience and depth flow deep.
#5: 
Purdue Boilermakers - Purdue doesn't lose anybody from a strong contending team in the Big Ten last year.
#6: 
North Carolina Tarheels - I don't see Psycho T coming back, but the Tarheels should return many.
#7: 
Kansas Jayhawks - Bring in twin recruits that remind of the Lopez twins; should return many key players.
#8: 
Gonzaga Bulldogs - Will own the WCC. Only lose one man, while bringing in promising recruits.
#9: 
Pittsburgh Panthers - Losing Cook and Ramon will hurt, but Blair, Fields and Young are stars.
#10: 
Duke Blue Devils- The one man they lose, Nelson, is replaced by a five star recruit.
#11: 
Tennessee Volunteers - They lose Lofton, but his inconsistency won't be missed in the long run.
#12: 
Georgetown Hoyas - Losing Hibbert and Wallace hurts; bringing in the #1 recruit, Greg Monroe, doesn't.
#13: 
Florida Gators - The only guy that could possibly leave is Speights, but the recruits are aplenty.
#14: 
Michigan State Spartans - Returning Lucas and Morgan, but lose sharp shooter Drew Neitzel.
#15: 
Memphis Tigers - Landed recruits Tyreke Evans and Angel Garcia; Will run the C-USA even without Rose or CDR.
#16: 
Wake Forest Demon Deacons - The Deacons lose nobody while tacking on five star recruit, Al-Farouq Aminu.
#17: 
Louisville Cardinals - Lose Padgett, Clark and Palacios, but keep Williams and Sosa, along with capturing two five-stars.
#18: 
Arizona State Sun Devils - Don't lose anyone of note, and were a decent team last year. Experience is key.
#19: 
Syracuse Orange - Boeheim has a solid program, and is bringing back some players, specifically Johnny Flynn.
#20: 
Davidson Wildcats - Keeping Stephen Curry is huge, but how will Jason Richard's absence affect the Wildcats?
#21: 
Wisconsin Badgers - Landry and Hughes return, and recruit Jared Berggren should replace Butch, in time.
#22: 
Virginia Tech Hokies - Another sleeper ACC team, the Hokies return A.D. Vassilo, who will anchor the team.
#23: 
Villanova Wildcats - Return the whole team, especially star guard Scottie Reynolds, after a quiet Sweet 16 run this year.
#24: 
Oklahoma Sooners - Blake Griffin returns but the departure of senior Longar Longar hurts.
#25:
Arizona Wildcats - Top 10 national recruiting class; Jordan Hill Returning, possibly Chase Budinger also.
