27. Brice Williams – Charlotte to Nebraska

2022-23 season stats: 13.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.2 apg

As the leading scorer on the CBI Champion 49ers, Williams had back-to-back 31-point games against both Middle Tennessee and Louisiana Tech. He also had a red-hot final 10 games of the season, including a career-high 32 points in overtime vs UAB. He joins a Nebraska roster that could use more offensive firepower in the court to pair with Keisei Tominaga and Williams would also add needed rebounding too.

26. Jayden Taylor – Butler to NC State

2022-23 season stats: 12.9 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 1.3 apg

Taylor led Butler in scoring this past season, though it wasn’t in very efficient numbers at 41% shooting from the field. He had five games with at least 20 points, including three straight toward the end of the season. Taylor joins an NC State roster that has revamped its entire backcourt and is the first of what should be multiple commits.

25. Will Baker – Nevada to LSU

2022-23 season stats: 13.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 0.8 apg

The former top-50 prospect has been a double-digit scorer in the past two years and made an All-Mountain West this past season. Baker, a 6’11 true center, went for 28 points on 12/17 shooting against New Mexico, as well as 25 points and six rebounds versus Utah State. With KJ Williams gone and Kendal Coleman having transferred out, Baker is set to start for LSU. He can score at the SEC level but can he defend and rebound well?
