1. Jaelyn Withers, Louisville Cardinals

The Louisville Cardinals will have six freshmen on their roster for 2019-20 which makes for an interesting proposition for second-year head coach Chris Mack. One prospect that a lot of people aren’t talking about just yet is Jaelyn Withers.

Withers is a 6-foot-8, 215-pound that can attack the rim as well as stroke it from behind the arc. He brings a versatile piece to the Cardinals’ rotation that they didn’t have this past season. They already return Steven Enoch and Jordan Nwora. Add in this year’s recruiting class and they’re looking a lot more dangerous.

With more depth and talent in 2019-20, Louisville already looks like a scary team on paper. They’ll have their obvious obstacles and learning curves, but with Withers on the floor, don’t be surprised if they’re a tough team to beat.
