10. Geno Thorpe

Former program: South Florida Bulls

Eligibility: Immediate for 2017-2018

USF point guard Geno Thorpe is one of the better point guards on the market at this stage. The 6’4″ floor general led the Bulls in scoring this past season with 15.1 points per game on 39% shooting from the field and 37% from deep. He also chipped in 2.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.6 steals. He will take his considerable stat line somewhere else for a run at the NCAA tournament.

Thorpe originally hails from Pittsburgh, so it is no coincidence that the Panthers are among his suitors for the upcoming season. Seton Hall, UMass, and Syracuse are also reportedly in the running. Of those four Pitt is probably the best fit, but each program is undergoing some major turnover. Thorpe will find plenty of minutes regardless of which school he ultimately picks.
