One of the most underrated conferences in college basketball, C-USA finally showed what they were capable of when MTSU defeated the Michigan State Spartans in the 2016 NCAA tournament. That being said, it is no time for these teams to slow down, as even the bottom squads have gotten better this offseason. Here are five incoming C-USA freshmen to watch coming into 2016-17.
5. Davion Thomas, PF – Middle Tennessee State
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY SportsMTSU shocked the world last season with their upset over Michigan State, and Thomas will come into this team and likely make an immediate impact.
4. Oliver Powell, PF – Louisiana Tech
Chuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsConsistently one of the top teams in C-USA, the Bulldogs will need to keep bringing in talent like Powell if they want to make the Big Dance.
3. Xavier Green, SG – Old Dominion
Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY SportsA tall, skinny and talented shooter, Green could be one of the best players in the conference in two or three years, especially once he starts hitting the gym.
2. Quentin Jackson, PG – Charlotte
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsPlaying just over two and a half hours from his hometown, Jackson should end up being a special player for the 49ers.
1. Tim Cameron, SG - UTEP
Joshua Lindsey-USA TODAY SportsChoosing UTEP despite offers from two SEC schools, Cameron is coming into a talented team that should continue to have success in C-USA in the future.
