76. Nate Calmese, Wake Forest
Nate Calmese put forth some strong numbers at Washington State last season, averaging 15.2 PPG, 3.0 RPG and 4.4 APG for the Cougars. He’s had quite a collegiate journey, including previous stops at Lamar and Washington before his junior season in Pullman.
Put simply, Calmese is a bucket-getter and expects to do more of the same at Wake Forest this season.
While he may be streaky at times, it always seems Steve Forbes can find a transfer portal piece that immediately breaks out: Alondes Williams, Jake Laravia, Tyree Appleby, Kevin Miller and Hunter Sallis, to name a few. It’s a strong bet that Calmese can find his name on this list, too.
75. Rylan Griffen, Texas A&M
Kansas transfer Rylan Griffen arrives in College Station looking to put up numbers similar to his sophomore season at Alabama.
There’s no question that Griffen underperformed relative to his high preseason expectations in Lawrence last season. After averaging 11.2 PPG and shooting 39.2% from three off a Crimson Tide squad that reached the Final Four, Griffen averaged just 6.3 PPG, seeing inconsistent playing time throughout the 2024-25 season.
The hope is that Griffen can bounce back next season, and there are plenty of reasons to believe he will. He’s a dangerous, lengthy three-point sniper -- a perfect archetype in a Bucky McMillan system that, as a team, averaged nearly 30 three-point attempts per game.
74. Langston Love, Georgetown
The addition of Baylor transfer and former four-star recruit Langston Love has quietly swept under the radar this offseason. It’s been a career riddled by injuries for the 6-foot-5 guard; however, it should be worth noting that in 2023-24, Love shot 48% from three.
Now he joins a Georgetown squad that desperately needed three-point shooting after being a bottom-three team in three-point percentage in the Big East last season. It’s a fit that makes sense. And if he can stay healthy, this fit will make even more sense throughout the 2025-26 season.
73. Treysen Eaglestaff, West Virginia
Treysen Eaglestaff, the North Dakota transfer, made a name for himself last winter after a 40-point outing, nearly knocking off then-ranked No. 6 Alabama. Eaglestaff shot 15-for-30 (yes, 15-for-30) and averaged 18.9 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 2.4 APG for the Fighting Hawks last season.
It’s probably a safe bet that Eaglestaff won’t put up those gaudy numbers next season as he moves to the Big 12. And now that he’s in a defensive-minded system under Ross Hodge, expect his stock to continue to rise as he fills out his frame and improves his defense.
