Expanded Top 75 Rankings for 2023

Stats: 8.0 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 2.0 APG

One of the hardest things about evaluating transfers is blending in the evaluation of both current impact and long-term impact. Amaree Abram falls into this challenging category as he wasn’t a major impact player in his freshman season on a bad Ole Miss team but there’s a lot of potential that could make him a big impact down the line.

He’s long, fast and plays with a motor on both ends of the floor. He can attack and create off the dribble, can get others involved and has potential to be an impact defender.

PLAYERS NOs. 21-75

21. Nicolas Timberlake, SG: From Towson (93)
Stats: 17.7 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 2.4 APG

Along with Jameer Nelson Jr. another standout player in the CAA ranks inside the top 30 of the transfer portal rankings is Towson’s Nicolas Timberlake.

He’s a strong, physical, confident and tough bucket-getter that will find himself starting at the power five level next year. He can create off the dribble, make shots from deep at a high rate and finish above the rim. This season, Timberlake connected on 41.6-percent of his 6.7 attempts a game.

22. Jayden Epps, SG: From Illinois (93)
Stats: 9.5 PPG, 1.8 RPG, 1.5 APG

Illinois suffered a blow with Jayden Epps entering the transfer portal. The freshman had carved out a nice role and had a promising future for the Illinini but is now off to make an impact somewhere else.

He is an aggressive and talented scorer that can play on the ball but is wired to put the ball in the basket.

With three years to play, Epps will be a valuable player wherever he lands and be notching double-digit point averages starting next season.

23. Jamison Battle, PF/SF: Committed to Ohio State; From Minnesota (93)
Stats: 12.4 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.7 APG

Jamison Battle made his way to Minnesota by route of the transfer portal from George Washington. He had a big impact in his first season but season No. 2 with the Gophers saw some struggles.

He’s a stretch four-prospect who can make shots from three and score some off the dribble.

When healthy and in-shape, Battle can really impact the game by stretching the floor for his teammates and knocking down jumpers from beyond the arc. He entered the year on Adam Finkelstein’s Draftables list. We’re excited to see what he does at Ohio State. 

24. Jordan Minor, C: From Merrimack (93)
Stats: 17.4 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 2.3 APG, 2.6 BPG

Jordan Minor may lack height but he plays bigger than he is with his strength, athleticism and high motor.

Minor is an impactful rebounder, rim-runner and rim-protector with an ample amount of skill to face his man up and attack him off the bounce.

He’s a physical presence and will be valuable for any high major program looking to make the NCAA Tournament next season.

25. Harrison Ingram, PF: From Stanford (93)
Stats: 10.5 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 3.7 APG

Harrison Ingram is one of the handful of former McDonald’s All Americans currently in the portal. He’s a small ball four man who is at his best when operating as a glue guy with his ability to rebound, push the break and pass the basketball.

He’s not the best scorer nor has he developed his jumper but he can be a solid piece with his ability to impact the game in various ways wherever he lands.
