6. Xavier Foster – SMU Mustangs

A four-star prospect out of high school, Foster originally began his collegiate career two years ago at Iowa State. However, Foster would be sidelined with an injury after the first seven games of the first year, concluding his freshman campaign with the Cyclones averaging 4 PPG and 1.7 RPG during that span, and would not play at all a year ago.

Based on production at the collegiate level, Foster is still largely unknown, but that should change this season with the former four-star now healthy after transferring to SMU. A player who can extend the floor offensively at 7-foot, Foster is likely set for a breakout 2022-23 campaign and could be among the Mustangs’ top producers this season.

5. Keyshawn Bryant – South Florida Bulls

After four seasons at South Carolina, Bryant transferred to South Florida during the offseason. One of the most experienced names to transfer into AAC Basketball during the offseason as well, the senior started in 72-of-98 career games with the Gamecocks, averaging a combined 9.9 PPG and 4.3 RPG during that span.

Averaging 8.7 PPG and 4 RPG a year ago, Bryant isn’t necessarily the biggest outside shooting threat with a career mark of 22.2% but did post a career-high 28.3% from three-point range a year ago. The senior is however a player who will impact the game on both ends of the floor and should bring experience to South Florida this season, likely in a starting role for the Bulls.
