Tre Mitchell, Marcus Carr among top 50 available NCAA Basketball transfers
45. G Parker Stewart – Indiana/UT Martin
2019-20 stats at UT Martin: 19.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2.2 apg
Stewart didn’t play this past season; leaving UT-Martin after the sudden death of his head coach and father Anthony Stewart and going to Indiana and unable to play after dealing with injuries once with the Hoosiers. And the younger Stewart had to leave Indiana once Archie Miller was fired a couple of weeks ago.
We only have the breakout past season to judge Stewart but power conference programs were after him before, why not now? And maybe there’s a possibility that he’ll remain at Indiana now that they hired Mike Woodson as head coach.
44. F CJ Felder – Boston College
2020-21 stats: 9.7 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 2.2 bpg
An undersized power forward, Felder is a 6’7 athlete that is much more known for his defense than his offense. Felder was inconsistent in his sophomore season but on several occasions, had at least 15 points, 10 rebounds, or three blocks in a given game.
If Felder can put it all together at his next stop, don’t be surprised if he’s an all-conference player. Many power conference programs are interested, including the Florida Gators who may be in the market for a power forward themselves.
43. C Nysier Brooks – Miami
2020-21 stats: 7.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg
Brooks was one of the few healthy players for Miami this season and was solid overall. He’s known for being a big body and at 7’0 and 250 pounds, can be a defensive anchor at any level. Brooks also had a couple of big offensive performances towards the end of the season, including going for 19 points against Georgia Tech and 21 on 8/11 shooting against Boston College.
He’s not going to be the first target for power conference schools looking for starting centers but Brooks is someone you can plugin and not have to worry about being exploited at the center position. If the rest of your lineup is set, this is a good piece to land.
42. G Cam Mack – Prairie View A&M
2020-21 stats: 11.2 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 7.7 apg
Mack proved to play a big role for the regular-season SWAC co-champs, leading the conference in assists as the top facilitator. His numbers are somewhat similar to Nebraska but after a bad ending there, didn’t have much power conference interest last offseason.
Mack showed that he can put up numbers at the power conference level during his stop with the Cornhuskers and if the backcheck check clears, could have a different offseason this time around. Or, he could go to a better mid-major in need of a true point guard so Mack can continue having the ball mostly in his hands.
41. F Cam’Ron Fletcher – Kentucky
2020-21 stats: 1.7 ppg and 1.7 rpg
The most notable thing that happened to the former top-50 recruit is that he was sent home from the team after an outburst due to not playing much. Credit to him for being able to come back to the team afterward instead of leaving right there and then but he still logged just 59 total minutes and nine games played overall as a freshman.
It’s unclear how good he’ll be at his next stop but if he has a similar impact to Johhny Juzang of UCLA, someone could be getting a steal with this 6’6 combo forward. Fletcher is from the St. Louis area so there could be a chance that Missouri or Saint Louis will be involved.
