NCAA Basketball: Top 25 frontcourts for 2020-21 season

The Bulls came out of nowhere to reach 24 games and win the postseason CBI Invitational in 2018. That success came on the shoulders of Coach Brian Gregory’s young frontcourt duo of Alexis Yetna and Michael Durr. Yetna posted a near double-double average on the season and was a huge pest altering shots around the rim throughout the year.

A preseason knee injury in 2019 dashed all hopes of replicating his success the year prior and caused him to miss the entire season. However, Yetna returns in 2020 and should come back to the court with a vengeance.

His frontcourt-mate in 2018, Michael Durr, was not afforded significant offensive opportunities in his freshman season. However, Durr played with a high level of consistency to make his impact immediately felt on the court. His production showed little progress in 2019, but Durr is looking to breakthrough in earnest and becomes a more vital part of the Bulls outlook.

Coach Gregory is going to be able to rely on his frontcourt group much more heavily this season after landing a pair of Power 5 transfers. Texas Tech center Russell Tchewa joined the program after rarely seeing the floor in his only season in Lubbock. Tchewa still has a fairly raw offensive skillset, but he showed very positive signs of success in the near future if his minutes increased.

Likewise, Mississippi State transfer Prince Oduro barely saw action with the Bulldogs after previously having a lot of success at Siena. Both players are stay-at-home bigs, but their ability to protect the rim at a high rate and dominate on the boards will help the South Florida program find success again.
