NCAA Basketball: Top 25 most impactful freshmen for 2019-20 season

4) Jahmius Ramsey, SG/PG, Texas Tech

Few coaches have a track record of developing talent like Chris Beard does having quickly turned Zhaire Smith and Jarrett Culver from unheralded recruits to NBA lottery picks. Who is next in line to fill that void on the wing now left by Culver?

Enter Ramsey, a 6-4 combo guard who can play anywhere on the perimeter. He figures to slide in right next to point guard Davide Moretti and Kyler Edwards in the backcourt and has an excellent chance to be Texas Tech‘s go-to offensive option.

Ramsey is not a great shooter yet but he can do everything else on the offensive end. He’s quick, strong, and has a variety of finishes around the rim. However – and this is key to having success in Beard’s system – he’s not selfish and doesn’t force things. He’s a good passer and knows how to elevate the players around him.

Obviously, Texas Tech’s brand of basketball is built on defense, and Ramsey has all the physical tools to be a real asset on that end of the court.

As skilled as Ramsey is, he’s going to be presented with as much opportunity as any top prospect. The Red Raiders have to replace four of the top five scorers from last year’s squad including their top three wing players win Culver, Matt Mooney, and Brandone Francis. They need Ramsey to make up for a big part of that lost production if they’re going to maintain their new place as one of the country’s best programs.
