Xavier Brown, G – The rising junior watchman reported he will be getting back to JMU. Brown was a critical piece for the Dukes during his sophomore mission. He scored a season-high 21 in the Sun Belt Title, hitting 3s from well past the circular segment. He’s a strong scorer and vivacious protector. Earthy colored’s return is gigantic for the Dukes as he can possibly be a Sun Belt Player of the Year sort of player.

Eddie Ricks III, F, Morehead State – The 6’7 rising sophomore was important for Preston Spradlin’s 2023-24 Morehead State crew. He drove the group in blocks (39) and was fifth in the OVC. He found the middle value of 7.5 ppg and 5.3 rpg keep going season on 43.1% shooting. He’s an extraordinary fit in Spradlin’s framework, given his guarded ability and hostile potential gain.

Justin Taylor, G, Syracuse – A rising junior, Taylor’s mother played ball for JMU and he went to secondary school in Charlottesville. Getting back to Virginia probably holds nostalgic significance for the 6’6 watchman.

While his vocation details don’t leap off the page (he’s never found the middle value of more than 4.1 places or 4.1 bounce back per game in a season), his size (6’11 and 235 lbs) ought to be a gigantic resource in the Sun Belt. He’s a fit edge defender, something the Dukes need in Preston Spradlin’s protective plan.

Elijah Hutchins-Everett, C, Austin Peay/Seton Lobby – It’s formally a Preston Spradlin move entryway masterclass. Recorded at 6’11 and 255 lbs, Hutchins-Everett is a monster in the post.

Bryce Lindsay, G, Texas A&M – While Lindsay just played in eight games for the Aggies during his rookie season, he has heaps of potential. Villanova and West Virginia were among the schools enrolling Lindsay after a season at the IMG Institute. He additionally flourished during his secondary school days in Baltimore. Lindsay doesn’t need ability, albeit the 6’4 point watch actually needs to show what him can do at the university level.

Mark Freeman, G, Morehead State – The 2023 OVC Player of the Year reported on X (previously Twitter) that he is utilizing his last year of qualification with JMU. During his year with Preston Spradlin, Freeman found the middle value of 15 focuses per game on 41% shooting, 36% from three and had 3.7 helps per game.

With three years of qualification left, Lovings-Watts has lots of potential. He projects as a shooting monitor/little forward given his 6’5 size, and he ought to vie for playing time right away.

Terrence Edwards, G/F, Louisville – The 2023-24 Sun Belt Player of the Year, Edwards arrived at the midpoint of 17.2 focuses per game for the Dukes. The adaptable wing can protect, shoot, and bounce back. He tried the NBA waters this offseason, at the end of the day chose to move to Louisville to utilize his last year of qualification.
