The Hidden Gems: Which Mid-Major Transfer Will Explode Like Yaxel Lendeborg Next?
Alex Wilkins, Furman
This time a year ago, Wilkins was a zero-star prospect coming out of high school in Massachusetts. Quite a bit has changed since then. As a freshman, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged a team-high 17.8 points and 4.7 assists per game for a Furman squad that won the Southern Conference. In the NCAA tournament, the No. 24 player in USA TODAY’s portal rankings showed he could compete against elite competition, scoring 21 points and making eight of his 15 shots in a competitive game against eventual national runner-up UConn. He’ll be more than just a quick rental, too, with three years of eligibility remaining.
