Limited list at this point but Jacob Crews from UT Martin is ranked 2nd and Clark Slajchert from Penn is ranked 10th. Both are described as good shooters with defensive questions, as are a few others on the list.
2. Jacob Crews
Old school: UT Martin
Crews shot 41.4% from 3-point range on 6.7 attempts per game as a junior for a UT Martin team that won a share of the OVC regular-season title. He also yanked down 8.2 rebounds per game for the Skyhawks. There are questions about his defense, but at 6-foot-7 and with a good shooting stroke he will garner significant interest.
10. Clark Slajchert
Old school: Penn
Slajchert shot 42.2% from 3-point range on 6.1 attempts per game in 2023-24 while averaging 18 points per game. At 6-foot-1, adapting to the defensive demands of the high-major level could be a challenge. But his offensive game will be attractive to high-major programs in need of perimeter firepower.
