NCAA Basketball: Top 30 pending "covid-year" players decisions to make for 2024-25
9. Caleb Love - Arizona Wildcats
2023-24 season stats: 18.0 ppg and 3.4 apg
In his first year away from UNC, Love put up career-high numbers in every category at Arizona, including 50 points through the three NCAA Tournament games. Among the trio of seniors with decisions for the Wildcats, Love and his scoring ability is arguably the most important.
8. Johnell Davis - Florida Atlantic Owls
2023-24 season stats: 18.2 ppg and 6.3 rpg
The other Co-AAC Player of the Year led the Owls in scoring and has taken them to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. With Coach Dusty May off to Michigan, Davis has multiple big decisions to make, including the NBA. Can FAU find a way to keep its star guard and remain a contender in the AAC?
7. Ryan Kalkbrenner - Creighton Bluejays
2023-24 season stats: 17.3 ppg and 7.6 rpg
Kalkbrenner is one of the most valuable players in all of NCAA Basketball, including him being a three-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year. Along with Steven Ashworth (covid year) and Trey Alexander (NBA Draft), Creighton’s core has some questions as to who is coming back. But Kalkbrenner alone would make the Bluejays still a contender if he’s back.
