30. C Nysier Brooks – Ole Miss Rebels

Coming to Oxford as a graduate student, Brooks started 25 of 27 games a year ago at Miami (FL) where he averaged 7.4 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 1 BPG. Shooting 51.9% from the field, Brooks ranked ninth in the ACC in offense rebounds per game (2.4), as well as 13th in blocks per game.

29. G Rocket Watts – Mississippi State Bulldogs

Transferring from Michigan State, Watts should play a prominent role in the Bulldogs backcourt alongside the returning Iverson Molinar. Spending two seasons with the Spartans, Watts averaged a combined 8.4 PPG, 2 RPG, and 2.2 APG that included a Big Ten All-Freshman team appearance in 2019-20.

28. F Tari Eason – LSU Tigers

Eason enjoyed a strong freshman season a year ago at Cincinnati in which he averaged 7.3 PPG and 5.9 RPG. Making the AAC All-Freshman team a year ago in the process, Eason should play a prominent role in the Tigers frontcourt both offensively and defensively.

27. F Jailyn Ingram – Georgia Bulldogs

A five-year starter at Florida Atlantic, Ingram comes to Georgia as one of the most experienced transfers of the offseason. While having averaged 10.9 PPG and 5.2 RPG for his collegiate career, Ingram enjoyed a strong 2020-21 season in which he averaged 12.4 PPG and 6 RPG while shooting 45.2% from three.

26. F Jaemyn Brakefield – Ole Miss Rebels

A former Top 40 recruit, Brakefield spent his freshman season a year ago at Duke where he averaged 3.5 PPG and 2.5 RPG in 12.5 MPG. A potential SEC breakout candidate this season, Brakefield should play a prominent role for the Rebels in 2021-22.
