The ACC is obviously always tough... but having said that, a lot of teams are losing (or likely to lose) a lot of key players.  Here's a quick summary of this year's top ACC teams and who they are likely to lose going into next year:

Duke will lose Zion, Barrett and probably both Reddish and Jones as early entries to the draft.

Carolina loses Luke Maye, Cam Johnson, Kenny Williams (all seniors) and then likely Coby White and Nassir Little as early draft entries.

Virginia loses De'Andre Hunter (lottery pick) and Jack Salt (senior).  Does Ty Jerome leave early if (like Battle) he projects as a 2nd round pick?  Or does he stick around with Kyle Guy to form an elite, senior backcourt. Probably depends on how far they advance this year I would imagine.

Florida State loses Terance Mann and Christ Koumadje (along with a couple of other role-player seniors).  I wonder if their 6'-10" guy Kabengele gets any draft love.  That dude killed us when we played them.

Virginia Tech loses Justin Robinson (senior) and I'm seeing Nickeil Alexander-Walker's name in 1st round mock drafts as an early entry.  Do the Hokies have another guy on their roster who can make 9 3s against us?

A lot of teams are losing A LOT of production - something that needs to be factored into the equation of "how are we better?" talk.  I don't think there will be three #1 seeds coming out of the ACC again... that should help us, I would think.

(And I know that a lot of these schools are re-loading with 5-star guys coming in right behind the guys that are leaving... but those guys don't always pan out right away, right?)
