Last week Inside the Hall and Umhoops released their top 25 Big Ten players for the upcoming season. 

25. Justice Sueing (OSU)

24. Jalen Pickett (PSU)

23. Tony Perkins (Iowa)

22. Jaelin Llewelyn (UM)

21. Race Thompson (IU)

20. Patrick McCaffery (Iowa)

19. Coleman Hawkins (Illinois)

18. Boo Booie (Northwestern)

17. Donta Scott (Maryland)

16. Malik Hall (MSU)

15. AJ Hoggard (MSU)

14. Chucky Hepburn (UW)

13. Dawson Garcia (Minnesota)

12. Zed Key (OSU)

11. Matthew Mayer (Illinois)

10. Tyler Wahl (UW)

9. Xavier Johnson (IU)

8. Caleb McConnell (Rutgers)

7. Jamison Battle (Minnesota)

6. Terrance Shannon Jr. (Illinois)

5. Cliff Omoruyi (Rutgers)

4. Kris Murray (Iowa)

3. Zach Edey (Purdue)

2. Trayce Jackson-Davis (IU)

1. Hunter Dickinson (UM)

IU has three players in the top 25 with JHS also being considered. Last year IU only had TJD in the top 25. Michigan has Hunter at number 1 and then a player who has played as many minutes in the big ten as I have as their only other top 25 player. Illinois has a lot of unknowns but has 3 in the top 25, none of whom have produced anything of importance in the big ten.

Interesting 4 of the top 5 are Centers. B1G gonna B1G. I guess. Also, Rutgers with 2 of top 8 and Minnesota with 2 of top 13.

Still appears IU has the most potential with proven Depth, experience, talent....that shooting though..........

Purdue has Edey on the list and (re-checks list again) no one else.

Good thing college basketball is a bigs game and good guards are just a bonus……

X, JHS, Tamar, and Gallo make me happy too.

Morton, David Jenkins, and Braden Smith would not.

Be prepared for stomaching 4 years of Fletcher Loyer. He has some Brad Davison qualities.

Little surprised Gillis got no mention?

If it was based on games against IU he’d be top ten.

Slow feet. Such a good shooter

I know him personally. Great kid and family!  Very curious to see how he does with B1G athleticism in certain matchups. Much like his brother.  Could be a very similar situation.  
 

imo, I’d not be surprised to see 2 of Furst, Kaufman, Gillis be top 25 kids in the B1G.  
 

Also very interested to see how Painter runs this roster short on guard talent.

Kaufman could be really excellent.

Their guards could really suck.

The former will not compensate for the latter.

Also interesting, this is probably the least top end talent that MSU has had in awhile in comparison to the rest of the big ten. only two guys on this list and neither is close to top 10. Although I think Hoggard could be the best PG by the end of the year.

Still cannot believe they are going into the season with 10 scholarship players. And 3 of those are freshman

They are bringing in a good haul next year, right? Feels like that might be Izzo's last hurrah, at least we can hope so.
