1. Florida Gators
Reuben Chinyelu (10.9 ppg and 11.2 rpg)
Thomas Haugh (17.1 ppg and 6.1 rpg)
Alex Condon (15.1 ppg and 7.5 rpg)
Florida had the best trio of players this past season and the best frontcourt overall. All of them were All-American or all-league players, with Haugh being an All-American after a breakout junior campaign. Both he and Condon were viewed as possible first-round NBA Draft picks before they elected to return from the draft process.
The same goes for Chinyelu, who was the SEC and National Defensive Player of the Year, averaging a double-double for the Gators. He was arguably the best center in the country, a position that’s highly important in the sport.
The chances of all three players returning for a 5th year are admittedly slim, but that was also the case this offseason. If the money is right and the team is willing to pay for another nationally contending roster, they can now keep all three players for another year, making them potentially the biggest winner of this rule change.
