NCAA Basketball: Top 30 impact Junior College transfers for 2020-21 season

27. Juan Felix Rodriguez – Stony Brook Seawolves

Monroe College

No team was devasted more on the transfer portal this offseason than Stony Brook who saw its three best players leave, including starting point guard Makale Foreman. The good news is that they have a winning veteran to take over at point in Rodriguez, a 6’0 guard who is a two-time JUCO All-American.

He led Monroe College last season with 18.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 4.8 apg, and 2.4 spg. It included a triple-double, showcasing Rodriguez’s all-around abilities. Considering how much the Seawolves lost in terms of production, they’ll need a lot out of this JUCO transfer to be competitive in the America East.

26. Chris Osten – Arizona State Sun Devils

Lee College

After Romello White’s sudden transfer this offseason, Arizona State was left without any true center on the roster and major frontcourt questions overall. They missed out on several transfer targets before landing Osten this Summer.

But the Sun Devils could be landing a hidden gem. He’s a space-eater at 6’9 and 250 pounds averaged 11 ppg and 4.9 rpg last season. Osten can play some valuable minutes against some of the big bodies in the Pac-12 and provide depth to help make up for White’s departure.

25. Saqaun Singleton – New Mexico Lobos

Hutchinson Community College

The 6’6 wing is an intriguing prospect since he doesn’t shoot three-pointers. That’s an issue at the D-1 level for sure but Singleton makes up for it with everything else. He averaged 11.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, and 4.8 pg last season and had a triple-double against Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.

He’ll be a stat-stuffer for the Lobos this season and can be an impact player off the bench behind seniors Makuach Maluach and Keith McGee. Look for Singleton to be a major contributor for the year after.
