Best Non-BCS Freshmen: Part One
The NBA Draft is finally behind us, where half of this year’s top dozen picks were freshmen. 2008 looks to be no different, with the likes of one-and-doners Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo and Michael Beasley in all likelihood hearing their names called early.
But of course, not all incoming freshmen are already fielding calls from would-be agents. In fact, not every member of the stellar Class of 2007 is even going to the so-called “Big Six” power conferences. Many are going to be thrilling fans at the mid-major level as well.
UAB to Be Most Improved in 07-08?
Gary Parrish of CBS Sportsline.com writes that UAB will be the most improved team in the country next season. The reason for the optimism is the addition of three big-time transfers in Robert Vaden from Indiana, Walter Sharpe from Mississippi State, and Channing Toney from Georgia. Additionally, the Blazers bring in another top 100 freshman and a JC All-America. He says: “UAB is the wise man's pick to jump from eighth to second in the C-USA standings.”
