NCAA Basketball: Ranking the Top 30 Graduate Transfers for 2018-19

25. Justin Coleman PG, Arizona

2017-18 stats: 13.5 ppg, 6.6 apg, 37% 3pt

Coleman provides insurance at PG for Arizona and is a great placeholder until Brandon Williams takes the starting position. The Wildcats will likely rely on Coleman’s experience early in the season, but his role is dependent on how quickly Williams adjusts to the college game. The former Samford and Alabama guard’s ability is not to be overlooked as he is a dynamic offensive player and is a former top 100 recruit.

24. Wyatt Walker C, NC State

2016-17 stats: 12.9 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 59% fg at Samford 

Coleman’s former teammate Wyatt Walker also deserves a spot on this list. Walker is a skilled back to the basket center who missed last season due to injury. He is even more intriguing when you factor in his two years of eligibility. NC State will likely split the center position between Walker and top JUCO recruit Derek Funderburk so the extent of his role is uncertain. At worst, he is a solid back-up center on a potential Top 25 club.

23. Ehab Amin Wing, Undecided

2016-17 stats: 16.9 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 3.4 spg at Texas A&M CC 

Amin is a former Nevada commit who re-opened his recruitment after the Martin Twins’ stunning decision to return to school. This move clearly caught Amin by surprise, but he will ultimately benefit because he is being courted by a number of high major schools. Amin’s ranking could change depending on where he lands. He is an excellent defender which makes up for his shooting deficiencies. Definitely an impact addition to a high major club.

22. Nat Dixon Wing, SMU

2017-18 stats: 13.8 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 40% 3pt at Chattanooga

Dixon is an ideal 3-and-D wing who improved his shooting considerably throughout his career. SMU needs shooters so Dixon will play a huge role whether he starts or serves as the sixth man. The Mustangs certainly look like a bubble team so this addition could be the difference between NCAA Tournament and NIT.

21. Zach Hankins C, Xavier

2017-18 stats: 15.1 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 3.3 bpg at Ferris State

Xavier mined the Division II ranks to land Hankins. Hankins was the DII player of the year and should compete for Xavier’s starting center job with rising junior Tyrique Jones. Hankins is a much more skilled player than Jones as he is an excellent passer and can score with his back to the basket. However, Jones’ rebounding and physicality are also important so the two bigs could split the position until a clear winner emerges.
