4. Purdue

From a team that was seconds away from a Final Four berth, their roster will look different in terms of star power.

No more Carsen Edwards or Ryan Cline in West Lafayette, but rather the youth of Purdue that will take over.

Nojel Eastern and Trevion Williams are poised for breakout seasons while Matt Haarms will be the same consistent hated face for Big Ten foes.

A three-man class for Matt Painter brings in a dynamic guard in Brandon Newman, one of the best shooters in the class. With he ability to stretch the defense out to NBA range, he could find an immediate impact for a team that needs shooting and scoring with no more Edwards.

The player to keep an eye on is rising sophomore wing Aaron Wheeler who’s 6-foot-9 frame gives him the length and ability to play an guard multiple positions.
