The Tigers enter season three under Bruce Pearl, still chasing their first NCAA tournament appearance. The Tigers will look to two highly touted incoming freshmen to help change their fortune.

Chuma Okeke: Chuma is a rare talent for his size, as he can score in all types of ways. He can shoot from the perimeter, or he can put the ball on the floor and beat you off the dribble. He also is rare in that he impacts the game without the ball in his hands. He is a very good rebounder and also a great passer. He seems to have his mind set on the NBA, and, if he has a good enough year, he could leave early. He averaged 24 points and 15 rebounds as a senior at Westlake High School.
