20 breakout players for the 2024-25 season

https://collegehoopstoday.net/rothst...024-25-season/

Jizzle James, Cincinnati: James averaged 19 points in three games last March during the Postseason NIT when Day Day Thomas was out of the lineup for Cincinnati due to injury. The son of former NFL star Edgerrin James, this lead guard is primed to be a household name in the Big 12 during the 2024-25 season.

He's been to the NCAAs twice - '18 & '21.

It's just some guy's list, so I don't put much stock in it. I am curious why he would fall from last year's #. Did he become a worse coach?

I'm not sure I could come up with 80 names of coaches if rather have than Wes right now.

Good point. For some reason I didn't think of his time at UNCG at all.

I think this is somewhat fair as he's gotten to the NIT twice but never to the NCAA. Reach the NCAA and he'll be above 64?

Fair, he took over a giant mess. Now we get to see what he can do with a legit roster.

Enquirer columnist Jason Williams column on UC "trending toward being basketball school again"

Williams has never come across as a fan of UC athletics so getting some positive press from him is refreshing for a change.
