CBS breaks the top-4 lock, eligibility reform gets revised, and Moreno picks Kentucky

CBS Sports' David Cobb upended the five-mock-draft consensus on June 2 by elevating North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson to #2 for the Jazz — the first movement in the locked top four since the May 27 deadline. On the governance side, basketball coaches helped push the NCAA Division I Cabinet to revise the "5-in-5" eligibility clock on June 5. A formal vote is scheduled for June 23-24, the same days as the NBA Draft. Kentucky center Malachi Moreno also confirmed his sophomore return this week.

Stojakovic stays, Arizona loses two lottery picks, and Congress wants to rewrite the rules

Andrej Stojakovic's last-minute return to Illinois headlines a chaotic May 27 NBA Draft deadline that also saw Arizona lose projected lottery picks Koa Peat and Brayden Burries, the Washington Wizards land the No. 1 draft pick, and Tounde Yessoufou commit to St. John's for a reported $6 million NIL package. Milan Momcilovic remains the offseason's unresolved storyline. On the women's side, Tennessee completes its staff rebuild, Florida's Tammi Reiss continues her roster overhaul, and South Carolina is unanimous at No. 1 in way-too-early women's rankings. Congress introduced the Protect College Sports Act to limit transfers and cap NIL spending, while the NCAA confirmed a 76-team tournament expansion for 2026-27.
