No. 36
Perry Ellis (6-8, 225, PF), No. 47
Andrew White (6-6, 210, SG/SF), No. 85
Landen Lucas (6-10, 245, C), No. 93
Zach Peters (6-9, 235, PF/C), No. 96
Rio Adams (6-3, 185, SG)
What to expect: There isn't anything close to a one-and-done candidate in this group, and that's a good thing for the Jayhawks. Adams is a physically mature guard who put a bizarre transfer saga behind him with a state player of the year season as a senior at Rainier Beach. Chicago guard
Milton Doyle is also still in play for Bill Self and Kansas.
7. North Carolina StateSignees/Commitments: No. 23
Rodney Purvis (6-3, 185, PG), No. 29
T.J. Warren (6-8, 215, PF/SF), No. 67
Tyler Lewis (5-11, 165, PG)
What to expect: Mark Gottfried was looking to add to this haul with
Amile Jefferson (who announced he was headed to Duke on Tuesday), but three Top 100 signees has helped the buzz around Wolfpack basketball return.
8. IndianaSignees/Commitments: No. 33
Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell (5-11, 165, PG), No. 48
Jeremy Hollowell (6-7, 195, SF), No. 52
Hanner Perea (6-8, 220, PF),
Peter Jurkin (7-0, 225, C),
Ron Patterson (6-3, 190, SG)
What to expect: Ferrell will compete for a starting spot immediately for the Hoosiers, who are being touted as a potential preseason No. 1. Outside of Hollowell, don't expect to hear much from the rest of the group for a couple of years.
9. Michigan StateSignees/Commitments: No. 13
Gary Harris (6-5, 195, SG), No. 60
Matt Costello (6-9, 225, PF), No. 79
Denzel Valentine (6-5, 205, SG), No. 82
Kenny Kaminski (6-7, 230, SF/PF)
What to expect: Harris and Valentine together in the backcourt could be a thing of beauty for the Spartans. Both are big, strong, smart and unselfish guards who will help Tom Izzo win a lot of games.
10. MichiganSignees/Commitments: No. 15
Mitch McGary (6-10, 250, C), No. 39
Glenn Robinson III (6-6, 190, SG/SF), No. 99
Nik Stauskas (6-6, 200, SG/SF),
Spike Albrecht (6-1, 180, PG),
Caris Levert (6-4, 175, SG)
What to expect: There will be massive expectations in Ann Arbor next season. In order for the Wolverines to deliver, McGary and Robinson will be need to live up to the hype right away.
