NCAA Basketball: 10 best players from state of New Hampshire of last decade

10. Carson Desrosiers – Wake Forest / Providence

Desrosiers is a 7’0 forward originally from Windham who was actually a top 100 prospect. His career may have been slightly underwhelming based on that high ranking, but he was still productive at a pair of colleges. He began his career at Wake Forest in 2010, playing for a pair of seasons before transferring to Providence, ending his career under Ed Cooley with the Friars.

In those seasons at Wake Forest, he played under Jeff Bzdelik and spent much of the time as the starter in the middle. He had a 13-point, 12-rebound game against Nebraska and a career-high 8 blocks against Loyola-Maryland as a sophomore. He was never a consistent scorer, even in those last two years at Providence. With the Friars, he had solid blocks and rebound numbers and scored a career-high 15 points in a game at Boston College.

Desrosiers was a big gadget player who had above average blocks numbers, ranking in the top 6 in his conference in blocks per game each of his four seasons. He wasn’t a great shooter or scorer, but was at least a sizeable presence down low for both the Demon Deacons and Friars across that career. He did a chance to play professional basketball overseas, with a stint in Finland soon after his college days were over.
