Honorable Mentions
Daniel Batcho (Louisiana Tech)
After decent work as an underclassman at Texas Tech, Batcho found a new home at Louisiana Tech this season and thrived in the CUSA. He’d average 15.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game as the Bulldog’s dominant frontcourt weapon, earning First Team All-CUSA honors. Batcho not only contributed on a 22-win program but also led his conference in rebounding, blocks, and shooting percentage.
Jyare Davis (Delaware)
The CAA’s top rookie two years ago, Davis has lived up to the early hype, becoming a magnificent scorer and contributor for the Blue Hens. As a junior he just averaged 17.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, standing out on the leading scorer of a decent Delaware squad. He’d earn All-CAA honors for a second straight season and continued budding into a star; we’ll see how he fares at Syracuse next season.
Tristan Enaruna (Cleveland State)
A former Top 100 prospect, Enaruna played at both Kansas and Iowa State before blossoming into a star in the Horizon League after transferring to Cleveland State. He was vital for the Vikings in year one and was even better this past season, averaging 19.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. This season resulted in First Team All-Horizon honors yet again for Enaruna, who also led the league in points scored, finishing 17th in the nation in that regard.
Quincy Guerrier (Illinois)
Guerrier spent two seasons apiece at Syracuse and Oregon before opting for Illinois for the final season of his collegiate career. The numbers don’t scream elite, but his contributions were felt, as he put up 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds as a starting forward for the Fighting Illini. Guerrier had perhaps the best shooting season of his career and helped take Illinois to their first Elite Eight in nearly two decades.
Miles Kelly (Georgia Tech)
After a modest start as a freshman these last few years have seen Kelly really come into his own for the Yellow Jackets. The junior guard stayed at Georgia Tech following a coaching change and remained a big piece of the puzzle, averaging 13.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. It wasn’t exactly a banner season for the Yellow Jackets, though Kelly quietly provided some very solid ball for a rebuilding team. Can he build on this next year at Auburn?
