Breaking down how Stanford, Cal, and SMU will do in the ACC in the 2024-25 college basketball season

Locked On College Basketball

The ACC is adding three new member institutions in conference realignment for the 2024-25 college basketball season: Stanford and Cal from the former Pac-12 as well as SMU from the AAC.

Today we break down each of the three new programs, starting with Stanford where the Cardinal hired former Washington State coach Kyle Smith to replace Jerod Haase. Can he get this team back to the Big Dance, despite losing a ton of talent via the transfer portal?

Across the way in Berkeley, coach Mark Madsen is hoping to keep growing a Cal program that was completely in the dumps under coach Mark Fox. After adding Mady Sissoko, Andrej Stojakovic, and others via the portal, are the Golden Bears a threat in the ACC?

Finally, we talk Andy Enfield taking over at SMU, and the chaotic coaching carousel it caused with Eric Musselman leaving Arkansas for USC, John Calipari going to Arkansas from Kentucky, and Mark Pope taking over the Wildcats. Can Enfield help the Mustangs - who finished 20-13 last year - break through and go dancing? A transfer portal class that includes former Auburn 5-star recruit Yohan Traore may be the ticket.
