Four Tier Rankings – Part Three – Big Improvements--Valley Hoops Insider
Addition of 3-point shooter Waite has Illinois State coach Gillespie ready for next season--The Pantagraph
35. Rienk Mast
Old school: Bradley | New school: Nebraska
Mast averaged 13.8 points, eight rebounds and 2.4 assists for a Bradley squad that won the Missouri Valley regular season title before falling one game short of reaching the NCAA Tournament. At 6-9, he is not much of a rim protector but can step out and hit 3-pointers. The Netherlands native should have two seasons of eligibility and has the tools to challenge for a starting spot at a power conference program.

27. Jace Carter – Illinois-Chicago to Texas A&M
2022-23 season stats: 16.6 ppg and 7.0 rpg
While the team couldn’t handle going from the Horizon League to the Missouri Valley, Carter ended up doubling his production to being an all-league performer. And despite being 6’5, the guard/wing ended up being one of the top rebounders as well. Carter had eight games of at least 20 points, including 28 points and seven rebounds versus Stonehill and 25 and 10 versus Bradley. He’s a good fit with the Aggies and adds another scorer alongside Wade Taylor in the backcourt.

Aside from the obvious (Rick Pitino), which new coaching hires will prove to be the most successful at their respective schools? — Andrew G.
There were several other high-profile moves (Ed Cooley to Georgetown, Micah Shrewsberry to Notre Dame) that should produce immediate dividends. So let me give you three under-the-radar hires that I’ve earmarked for success:
2. Roger Powell to Valparaiso. Powell has Midwestern roots, spent five seasons as an assistant to Bryce Drew at Valpo and worked for Mark Few at Gonzaga the last four years.
