Tre Mitchell, Marcus Carr among top 50 available NCAA Basketball transfers
40. G David Collins – South Florida
2020-21 stats: 12.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 3.4 apg
A four-year starter with the Bulls, Collins has averaged double figures in each year and has been as consistent a player can be. He’s a 6’4 guard with great size and is a good defender, although he’s not a great shooter.
For power conference teams that need a starting combo guard, Collins would be a nice fit. He doesn’t have a high ceiling but does have a high floor, so it makes sense to target the veteran playmaker.
39. F Miller Kopp – Northwestern
2020-21 stats: 11.3 ppg and 3.0 rpg
His stats took a dip this past season compared to his sophomore campaign but the 6’7 forward was still one of the better scorers for the Wildcats. Kopp takes nearly half his shots from three-point range, with a career percentage of 36%. He struggled mightily towards the end of this year, which saw his shooting numbers take a major dip.
The combo forward can start at the power conference level but would be best served to come off the bench as a 6th or 7th guy for a contending team. Kopp doesn’t need to have a major role with his shooting ability but if he did opt to the mid-major level, could easily be a star.
38. G Jarrod West – Marshall
2020-21 stats: 12.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 6.0 apg
With 124 career starts, West is a four-year starter and two-time All-CUSA performer, and all-defensive star at the Thundering Herd. His offense has blossomed in the past couple of years alone, averaging 14.2 and 12.5 ppg respectively. He’s a solid passer and shooter as well, with a career three-point mark of 38%.
West is set to decide soon reportedly, with Pittsburgh, Wichita State, and Louisville among the top contenders. He’s a power conference caliber guard whose talents should translate well at the next level of NCAA Basketball.
37. F Seth Lundy – Penn State
2020-21 stats: 10.1 ppg and 4.2 rpg
The 6’6 sophomore forward was on his way to having an All-Big Ten type of season, scoring a career-high 32 points against VCU in the second game of the season. But inconsistencies plagued him in the second half of the season, reaching double figures just twice in the final 13 games, although one of them was a 31-point effort against Maryland in a win.
Lundy left during the coaching change for Penn State but there’s a possibility he can come back. There also will be plenty of options in the portal, both at the high and mid-major level for a versatile forward with a very high ceiling.
36. G Khristian Lander – Indiana
2020-21 stats: 2.1 ppg and 1.2 apg
Lander was a five-star recruit who reclassified to play this past season, a decision that in hindsight that didn’t work out well. He just wasn’t ready for the college and Big Ten game, mainly coming off the bench for inconsequential minutes.
Still, Lander isn’t even 19 yet and has plenty of untapped potential. Expect power conference programs to have major interest, although the top ones may not give him a starting gig out the gate. His decision will be one of the more interesting, which potentially includes a possible return to the Hoosiers.
