8. Olivier Nkamhoua – Tennessee Volunteers

2022-23 season stats: 10.8 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 2.0 apg

The 6’8 forward has started the last two years at Tennessee, coming off a career-high senior campaign. Nkamhoua had a pair of 27-point games against Texas and Duke, with the ladder coming in the NCAA Tournament. He’s a good defender and one of the few quality power forwards left in the transfer portal but there’s a chance the frontcourt player from Finland ultimately goes pro and leaves NCAA Basketball.

7. Keshad Johnson – San Diego State Aztecs

2022-23 season stats: 7.7 ppg and 5.0 rpg

The 6’7 forward was the 4th-leading scorer among the starters on San Diego State but Johnson was a quality versatile defender that played a key role in them making it all the way to the national title game. He went for 14 points against UConn in the final game, along with a season-high 16 points and eight rebounds against San Jose State. Johnson is down to a group of five teams, with Kentucky and Arizona among them.

6. Julian Phillips – Tennessee Volunteers

2022-23 season stats: 8.3 ppg and 4.7 rpg

Phillips is a former five-star prospect that started 25 games as a freshman for Tennessee. The 6’7 forward had five games with at least 15 points, including a season-high 25 points and eight boards against USC. The versatile wing that’s a quality defender could be a future NBA Draft pick if he improves his shooting ability.
