You could add Macon to the list too for Arkansas.

I'm gonna say this. And don't be scared to tell me I'm an idiot. I've just thought this for a while now.
Nigel is overrated as hell. I should clarify...thats on the basketball court. He's GOAT on the mic.

I will fight you IRL if you don't add Yante Maten to Georgia's list. 3rd leading scorer in sec last year as a sophomore and all around stud. Our best player regardless of what everyone else will tell you. Will be 1st team all sec. JJ is awesome too though.
And I'd rather watch Carlton Bragg than svi or udoka but that's maybe just me. Bragg is third best player on team. I understand why others are listed ahead of him for this list. Bragg is gonna be boring as hell
For Cincinnati: Gary Clark and Troy caupain. This is a top 20 team, people should watch them; they will not let you score easy. And for Xavier, I'd add JP Macura. White kid that can ball and is absolutely as entertaining as can be.

Just spent 5 minutes on mobile trying to copy and paste them to quote but it kept going haywire making me want to launch my phone across the room
But those frickin last 2 names for Kansas even better that they are prefaced by 2 of the most generic names you could think of

Kwe Parker
Jordan Bone is the freshman PG to watch for Tennessee, not Parker.
Parker obviously will have all of teh highlights, but Bone will be a very, very good college PG imo. I think he will be Tennessee's best PG since CJ Watson (last year was 2005).
Rest of the team is a dumpster fire.

Some of the names I saw on here...

Beachem really broke out in the NCAA Tournament last year for ND. He's always been able to shoot from deep, but he started to get more aggressive attacking the basket. If he can keep up the confidence and if he developed a more solid defensive game, there are some nice pieces around him (e.g., Steve Vasturia, Bonzie Colson [both of whom played major roles on both of ND's past two Elite Eight teams]) that ND should have no problem making the NCAA Tournament even in the tough ACC. (I think ND's Tournament past will also help if we're on the bubble, a la Cuse last year.)
I don't know if Beachem is quite on the level of Jerian Grant or Demetrius Jackson though, which he'd probably need to be close to for ND to make a third straight Elite Eight.

You could add Luke Fischer from Marquette to the list
