Chase Adams (Pitt from Centenary) - The Summit League defensive player of the year last season doesn't have to sit out this season, because Centenary is moving to Division III. Adams also shot 39% from deep as a junior, making him an offensive threat as well.
Derrick Character (UTEP from Louisville) - Once the top high school player in his class, Character has battled weight and "character" issues. He will get a fresh start at UTEP, where he could form a powerful front court with 6'11" Arnett Moultrie.
Jordan Crawford (Xavier from Indiana) - Crawford is famous for dunking on Lebron James this summer, and he should become more nationally recognized at Xavier as he prepares to take over a lead guard spot.
C.J. Henry (Kansas from Memphis) - He hasn't played a college game yet, but many say he has NBA potential.
Ben Hansbrough (Notre Dame from Miss. St.) - Tyler Hansbrough's little brother should fit nicely into the Irish's three-point-happy offense.
Derrick Jasper (UNLV from Kentucky) - At 6'6", he is very big for a point guard, but the former California high school standout should be one of the best guards in the Mountain West after seeing limited playing time at Kentucky.
Wesley Johnson (Syracuse from Iowa St.) - Johnson has been praised as an outstanding defender, using his 6'7" frame to alter shots and get into passing lanes. He was also Iowa St.'s second leading scorer in his final season as a Cyclone (12.4 ppg).
Jeff Robinson (Seton Hall from Memphis) - For what ever reason, Memphis couldn't find room for this outstanding athlete. Robinson is 6'5", but extremely strong, not to mention the fact that he possess great leaping ability. Former four-star prospect by Rivals.
Tyrone Shelly (SDSU from Pepperdine) - This San Diego native lead Pepperdine in scoring as a freshman (15.1 ppg), and ranked fourth in the WCC in scoring.
Jai Lucas (Texas from Florida) - Lucas is a pass-first point guard who can set up Texas' many scoring options. His dad was a No. 1 pick in the NBA draft and his brother (John Lucas III) played at Oklahoma St.
