20. Drew Fielder - Boise State
2025-26 stats: 14.7 ppg and 5.7 rpg
After two years at Georgetown, the 6’10 forward broke out at Boise State. Fielder shot 55% from the field and 41% from deep as one of the best stretch forwards in the nation last season. The all-league forward had 10 games of at least 20 points, including 33 points and nine rebounds in the win over San Diego State.
19. Sananda Fru - Louisville
2025-26 stats: 9.0 ppg and 6.1 rpg
The 6’11 big man had an effective first year with the program, shooting a whopping 77% from inside the arc. The German forward produced three double-doubles, including 19 points and 13 rebounds in the win over Boston College. Fru’s offensive game is limited, but there’s still upside with the big man.
18. Anthony Robinson - Missouri
2025-26 stats: 8.9 ppg and 3.0 apg
The 6’2 guard started 50 games in the last two years for the Tigers, including earning past All-SEC honors on defense. Robinson’s shooting numbers took a dip compared to his sophomore campaign, but he is a solid high-major starter known for his defensive abilities.
17. Leroy Blyden Jr. - Toledo
2025-26 stats: 16.4 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 4.5 apg
Blyden was second on the team in both points and assists, shooting over 40% from three-point range. The MAC Rookie of the Year had 13 games with at least 20 points, including a season-high 36 in a win over Western Michigan. The 6’1 playmaker from Detroit joins a long line of freshmen mid-major stars in the portal.
16. Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn - UNLV
2025-26 stats: 20.7 ppg and 2.5 apg
After two underwhelming years at Illinois, Gibbs-Lawhorn became one of the top scorers in the country and an All-Mountain West guard. He had five games with over 30 points, including a career-high 42 in an overtime win over Nevada. We’ll see if he’s ready to return to the high-major ranks and whether it’ll be different from the Illinois years.
