NCAA Basketball: Ranking the Top 30 Graduate Transfers for 2018-19
30. Miles Reynolds G, Oklahoma
2017-18 stats: 13.3 ppg, 2.8 apg, 38% 3pt at Pacific
Reynolds will compete for minutes at both guard positions and has a decent chance of winning the starting PG battle. He is more of a combo-guard, but his shooting and experience will ensure that he has a role on this veteran laden Oklahoma squad. The Sooners look to be a bottom tier Big 12 team after losing their superstar lead guard, Trae Young, to the NBA Draft.
29. David Nichols G, Florida State
2017-18 stats: 14.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.5 apg, 37% 3pt at Albany
Nichols should be a quality reserve on a sneaky talented Florida State squad. He is a perfect replacement for CJ Walker and should provide scoring, shooting, and ball handling off the bench. Nichols will primarily back-up Trent Forrest, but the two can easily play together to give the Seminoles’ offense a spark. He could have earned more playing time elsewhere, but he will be a key contributor on a top 15 club.
28. Javan White C, Clemson
2017-18 stats: 10.2 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 51% fg
White is an interesting player because he has two years of eligibility. The physical big man was a consistent double-double threat at Oral Roberts and will be a great back-up for Elijah Thomas. White will earn around 10-15 minutes per game as Thomas played 25 per game last season. When Thomas graduates after this year, White can step in and earn starters minutes which makes him significantly more valuable.
27. Jadon Cohee G, Undecided
2017-18 stats: 12.6ppg, 3.1 apg, 37% 3pt
Cohee has yet to pick a school, but has numerous high major suitors. He has visited Oregon, DePaul, George Washington, Santa Clara and is considering Louisville and Xavier. Cohee will likely be a quality reserve at Xavier, Louisville, and Oregon, but could see a starting role at the other three schools. His true value cannot be determined until he chooses a final destination.
26. Brock Stull G, Minnesota
2017-18 stats: 13.4 ppg, 4.8rpg, 3.1 apg, 38% 3pt
Stull will be the sixth man on an undervalued Minnesota squad. The Gophers struggled last season, but have added multiple standouts and have gotten two players back from injury (Amir Coffey and Eric Curry). Stull adds three-point shooting, experience, and is a strong secondary creator who should play both guard positions. If sophomore Isaiah Washington struggles to make the transition to a full-time lead guard, Stull could see an even bigger role.
