Considering the program's struggles last season, the commitment of local star Roschon Prince was huge for USC.

No. 46
Roschon Prince (6-5, 210, SF),
Kahlil Dukes (5-11, 170, PG/SG),
Kendal Harris (6-4, 190, PG/SG),
Nikola Jovanovic (6-9, 215, PF/C)
Pretty impressive effort for head coach Kevin O'Neill, particularly since he is 14 games under .500 entering his fourth year at USC and coming off a train wreck of a 2011-12 campaign.
22. TennesseeCommitments: No. 12
Robert Hubbs (6-4, 185, SG),
Antonio Davis Jr. (6-7, 185, SF),
Travon Landry (6-0, 185, PG)
Hubbs, who was pursued by the likes of Duke, Florida and Memphis among others, was a huge get for Vols head coach Cuonzo Martin. The small town star is among the most dangerous scorers in the 2013 class.
23. Texas ChristianCommitments: No. 36
Karviar Shepherd (6-9, 220, PF),
Brandon Parrish (6-4, 190, SG)
Yes, Texas
Christian. New head coach Trent Johnson convinced a pair of serious players from the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex to stay home.
24. PurdueCommitments: No. 55
Bryson Scott (6-0, 180, PG),
Basil Smotherman (6-4, 180, SF),
Kendall Stephens (6-4, 175, SG)
Combined with 2012 signee Ronnie Johnson, Scott and Stephens should help make the Boilermaker backcourt a major strength in the coming years.
25. Notre DameCommitments: No. 56
Demetrius Jackson (6-1, 180, PG),
V.J. Beachem (6-6, 180, SF),
Austin Torres (6-6, 200, SF/PF),
Stephen Vasturia (6-3, 185, PG)
The national appeal of Notre Dame wasn't needed to land Jackson and Torres, who both hail from nearby Mishawaka.
Just missed the cut: Alabama, Rhode Island, Saint Mary's, South Carolina, Villanova, Wisconsin
