[LIVESTREAM] Booker Washington vs Central Live High School Football Game November 17, 2023. Booker Washington vs Central football game It's fantastic that the defending national player of the year is back in college basketball. After averaging 22.3 points and 12.9 rebounds per game this past season, Zach Edey has the folks in West Lafayette dreaming big.

Those who are out on Purdue because of a loss to FDU in last season's tournament aren't looking at the whole picture. It's easy to view one game and say that you're out on a team. I'd like to think that loss serves as fuel for the upcoming season. That said, losing four of six in February last season while being unable to handle fullcourt defensive pressure is why I placed Matt Painter's program here instead of in the very top tier. Can Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer & Co. show growth on the perimeter, manage possessions better and help Edey more consistently? We shall see. I explored that question here.

Nembhard was the best point guard in the portal after averaging 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists at Creighton last season. Dropped 30 points on Baylor in the NCAA tournament.

One of the best 3-point shooters in the country, Cryer is coming off a season in which he averaged 15 points and shot 41.5% from behind the arc for Baylor. Will help replace Marcus Sasser.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see Walter lead this team in scoring this season. He was a big-time point producer at the high school level and is ready for the physicality of the college game.

That's where these rankings come in. Instead of having separate freshman and transfer rankings, we have grouped them together. Below, the 100 newcomers -- and some other names to watch -- who should have the biggest impact on their new teams.
