MAC Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)
By Joey Loose
11. Tre’Shaun Fletcher
Among the nation’s Top 100 recruits in the Class of 2013, Fletcher is a 6’7 wing from Wilmar, Arkansas. He was recruited to Colorado by Tad Boyle and played three seasons for the Buffaloes, doing some decent work in a minor role in the Pac-12. Fletcher transferred away and spent his senior year at Toledo during the 2017-18 season.
Fletcher’s senior season showed great growth from his years in Colorado. He averaged 18.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, finally getting the major role he never had with the Buffaloes. He led Toledo to a 23-win season and MAC regular season title, though a knee injury forced him to miss the end of the MAC Tournament. A few weeks earlier, he had a triple-double in a win at Northern Illinois, the best of a slew of impressive games during conference play.
Not only did Fletcher do his best work in that final season, but he was named MAC Player of the Year for his efforts. He was among the Top 5 in the league in points, rebounds, and assists and stood out as a major addition and important weapon for the Rockets. Toledo fell just short of the NCAA Tournament, but there’s no doubt that Fletcher’s final collegiate campaign was well spent in the MAC.
