25. Michael Rataj - Baylor
2024-25 season stats (at Oregon State): 16.9 ppg and 7.2 rpg
Rataj started 71 games in three years at Oregon State, doubling his scoring production from this past season. The All-WCC forward shot 48% from the field and improved his three-point shot, scoring 29 points and seven rebounds in the upset win over Gonzaga. He’s the next key scoring forward for the Bears to replace Norchad Omier while giving them needed size inside.
24. Malik Reneau - Miami
2024-25 season stats (at Indiana): 13.3 ppg and 5.5 rpg
Although his stats decreased compared to his prior year with the Hoosiers, Reneau is still a proven high-major big man. The 6’9 forward had five games of at least 19 points, including 19 and 12 against Michigan State. He’s part of a completely rehauled roster at Miami and, right now, is the focal point of the frontcourt.
23. Adrian Wooley - Louisville
2024-25 season stats (at Kennesaw State): 18.8 ppg, 5.2 rpg, and 3.6 apg
The 6’5 guard was one of the best freshmen in the nation this season, earning CUSA Rookie of the Year honors. Wooley shot 51% from the field and 42% from deep, including five straight games of at least 20 points. Wooley joins a revamped backcourt at Louisville with a chance to either start or be the 6th man.
22. Adam Clark - Seton Hall
2024-24 season stats (at Merrimack): 19.8 pg, 4.5 rpg, 6.0 apg and 2.7 spg
The 5’10 guard was one of the biggest stat-stuffers in all of college basketball, leading the Warriors to a top spot in the NEC. Clark had a pair of 32-point games this past season, including one against Stanford. For a Seton Hall program that is completely rebuilding, they need someone like Clark, who can do a bit of everything on offense.
21. Elliot Cadeau - Michigan
2024-25 season stats (at North Carolina): 9.4 ppg and 6.2 apg
The 6’1 ball-handler was one of the best pure passers in college basketball while improving his scoring numbers. He had six games of 10+ assists, including 14 points and 13 assists on the road at Wake Forest. Michigan’s best passer was its big man (Danny Wolf), so Cadeau gives them a needed passer in the backcourt for next season.
