CBS Sports has listed the top 15 College Basketball teams who are best positioned to succeed over the next 5 years and they think Duke has a better chance to succeed rather than Kentucky.
Here are the top 2 and their reasoning:
1. DUKE BLUE DEVILS
Outlook: Those closest to Mike Krzyzewski, five years ago, mostly seemed to believe the end was relatively near, that the Hall of Fame coach might step away after the 2016 Summer Olympics and call it a career. But now almost nobody thinks the iconic figure is close to retirement, and you can reasonably argue his program has never been in better shape. The Blue Devils are coming off of a national championship, somewhat reloaded already and likely to eventually sign the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class in 2016. Simply put, things are rolling right now. And, if you’re wondering, all four of us ranked Duke No. 1 for this list.
2. KENTUCKY WILDCATS
Outlook: One of the only programs that could reasonably be placed ahead of Duke is Kentucky, and for all the obvious reasons. The Wildcats have made four of the past five Final Fours, the roster currently in place is arguably the nation’s best, John Calipari seems more likely than not to remain in college basketball and thus not jump to the NBA, and there’s no reason to believe recruiting will be an issue going forward, if only because recruiting is never an issue for Calipari.

I am guessing many that frequent Nation of Blue does not agrees with this ranking.
Tell us what you think!!
