Honorable Mentions

Dame Adelekun (Loyola-Chicago)

After three years developing into a solid forward at Dartmouth, Adelekun transferred to Loyola Chicago this past offseason, having run out of eligibility in the Ivy League. He settled into a role as a bench piece for the Ramblers, totaling 9.1 points and 4.5 rebounds a game. The overall figures didn’t really compare to his previous season with the Big Green, but Adelekun was a definite part of Loyola’s major revamp, tying for the regular season crown in the A-10.

Tanner Christensen (Utah Tech)

A decent contributor at Idaho as an underclassman, Christensen has continued developing in recent years at Utah Tech. The senior averaged 11.5 points and 6.8 rebounds in his most productive year, although the Trailblazers finished just 9th in the WAC. Still, his 63% mark from inside the arc was among the best in the land while Christensen also had impressive rebounding and shot blocking figures.

Trevin Dorius (Utah Valley)

This 7’0 forward from Utah made quite the collegiate career playing in his home state, spending four seasons at Utah State. Dorius spent his fifth year at Utah Valley this past season and averaged 9.4 points and 7.9 rebounds, by far the best production of his career. Not only was he one of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the WAC, Dorius also helped guide the Wolverines to a 4th place finish in league play.

Dane Erikstrup (Eastern Washington)

Following a season at Cal Poly Pomona, Erikstrup transferred to Eastern Washington and has been an intriguing bench piece for the Eagles in recent years. As a junior, he put up 10.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game while making 34% of his 3-pointers. He aided an Eastern Washington team that won another Big Sky regular season title and was also the league’s leading free throw shooter, making 87% of those attempts.

Tarris Reed (Michigan)

Considered a Top 40 prospect, Reed hasn’t exactly lived up to that billing while playing for an underwhelming Michigan squad. He showed massive growth as a sophomore, averaging 9.0 points and 7.2 rebounds with improved stats across the board. Michigan finished at the bottom of the Big Ten, though Reed showed renewed potential, ending the year Top 10 in the league in rebounds and blocks. We’ll see what steps forward he takes next year at UConn.
