2022-23 SEC Preview
A look ahead at the best prospects, teams, and biggest X-Factors lying ahead in the SEC
In order to do prospect scouting the right way, we firmly believe that understanding the schemes and team circumstances that surround each prospect is necessary. Get to know the coaches and what they look to do on both ends. Learn about the teammates so we can contextualize how a prospect’s usage comes to be. Understand opponents to make sure the game-to-game product is better contextualized. Without doing that, our scouting feels rather incomplete and leaving too many variables unaccounted for. In order to nail college scouting, we need to get to know as much about the college landscape as possible.
With that in mind, we’re putting our observations and predictions to the page on every major conference team in college basketball. We’ll discuss their style of play, their holes on the roster, pro prospects, where they might land next to their conference rivals, swing factors to their success this season, and more. Some will see this as a college season preview — and that’s quite alright. What this is intended to be just as clearly, though, is a guide to refer back to for team understanding all season.

14. Georgia Bulldogs
Head Coach: Mike White
Record Last Year: 6-26, 14th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Kario Oquendo, Jabri Abdur-Rahim
Mike White made the leap from Florida to Georgia proactively, as his tenure with the Gators wasn’t living up to expectations. Those should be lower in Athens, a place we’ve long believed is a sleeping giant in basketball. It’s in the SEC, there’s a ton of local talent, and traditionally football schools like Alabama and Auburn have shown the power in turning their attention to hoops. White is a decent coach without a doubt, and his offenses at Louisiana Tech were noteworthy. But he’ll need to dominate the local recruiting scene to really turn the Bulldogs around.
That pathway doesn’t provide a ton for year-one results, unfortunately. Jabri Abdur-Rahim is a guy we’ve always liked on the wing and is their only former top-100 recruit on the roster. 6’4” scorer Kario Oquendo (15.2 PPG) is the returning leader on that front, too. Oquendo is really good; super athletic and finished the year on a high note. He could be an intriguing sleeper to watch and the best player on this team. Bradley transfer Terry Roberts is experienced and will likely join Oquendo in the starting backcourt next year, while North Texas transfer Mardrez McBride is a solid shooter for a fifth-year addition.
White took some other fliers on the transfer market, ones that could pay off despite coming with real risk. Syracuse big man Frank Anselem never really found his groove with the Orange, but has real size for the SEC. The same goes for Oklahoma State transfer Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe, who took a step back as a sophomore for the Cowboys after a promising freshman season. Between Moncrieffe, Abdur-Rahim, and super-seniors Jailyn Ingram and Braelen Bridges, the Bulldogs will have a lot of experience and an older lineup as White tries to provide an immediate injection of wins to buy him time to set up shop with the local recruiting base. They’ll be better, but may not gain much ground up the standings.
13. Vanderbilt Commodores
Head Coach: Jerry Stackhouse
Record Last Year: 19-17, 11th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Liam Robbins, Jordan Wright
For all the trouble Jerry Stackhouse has had in dealing with the media, Vanderbilt quietly won 19 games last year and had a really stout defense. Stack always runs good stuff offensively and has a key cog that he entrusts to run the show in the backcourt. That had been Saben Lee and Scotty Pippen Jr. in the past.
This year’s team may be a little different. Stackhouse has seven freshmen on the roster, making them one of the youngest teams in the SEC. The hope is that Ezra Manjon (UC-Davis) can step in and handle the offense right away in that high-volume role; he’s only 5’11” and struggles to shoot from deep, so those hopes might be dashed. At the very least, 6’6” wing Jordan Wright (12.3 PPG) is coming off a nice season and may be able to add more to his plate.
Liam Robbins, the big man who transferred from Minnesota a year ago, is a unique inside-outside option for a 7’0” shot blocker that only played in 15 games. The rest of the frontcourt brings experience to the table, too: junior Myles Stute and fifth-year Quentin Millora-Brown are returning contributors next to Robbins. The frontcourt will be their strength and they won’t have that clear-cut number-one option on the perimeter to play the pick-and-roll through. It will be a different type of watch at Vanderbilt this year.
12. Mississippi Runnin’ Rebels
Head Coach: Kermit Davis
Record Last Year: 13-19, 13th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Matthew Murrell, Amaree Abram, Daeshun Ruffin, Josh Mballa, Jaemyn Brakefield
Matthew Murrell (12.1 PPG) is the team’s best player and an intriguing wing in NBA circles. He can hit shots, has solid size and is more talented than he’s been able to show thus far. The tiny straw that stirs the drink is Daeshun Ruffin a 5’9” sophomore point guard who averaged 12.6 PPG. Sophomore guard James White seems to have taken a major step forward this summer; if it’s sustainable, it will help Ole Miss a great deal as a scorer off the bench. While freshman point guard Amaree Abram has a fair amount of talent, how much he plays will depend on Kermit Davis’ desire to play multi-guard lineups and whether he trusts Ruffin enough now that there’s an alternative at the position in place.
Jaemyn Brakefield will once again start at the 4, and Buffalo transfer Josh Mballa will help provide depth as a slashing forward with great energy on the glass. Transfer big Theo Akwuba (Louisiana) will likely start at the 5. It’s solid in terms of talent, but it’s not exactly a ferocious group on the defensive end by SEC standards.
Frankly, this team will go as far as Murrell takes them. Ruffin is a good source of offense but is really small, and we don’t love their options at the 5 right now — Nysier Brooks will prove difficult to replace. The three top-100 recruits that Kermit brought in (Malique Ewin, TJ Caldwell and Amaree Abram) are wild cards that could help the Rebels get above .500, but the roster is designed to play through the experienced players first and foremost.
11. South Carolina Gamecocks
Head Coach: Lamont Paris
Record Last Year: 18-13, t-5th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: GG Jackson, Meechie Johnson, Ebrima Dibba
Lamont Paris certainly knows how to make a splash. Boosters helped secure the best in-state prospect since Zion Williamson in GG Jackson, convincing the five-star to reclass up to join the Gamecocks and de-commit from North Carolina. Jackson is a superb athlete and a hell of a talent; his game is more about punishing mismatches on offense than polished self-creation, and he’s an incredible defender. Those traits don’t exactly pop as ones that allow one player to make the difference between success and failure for a program.
Still, we understand why Paris did it, and you never say no to a talent like Jackson. The rest of the roster simply isn’t ready to compete on the big stage with him. We like Ohio State transfer guard Meechie Johnson, but he was a backup in the Big Ten and may be miscast as a number-one option offensively — he really struggles near the rim. Chico Carter and Jacobi Wright are the only backcourt returners in Columbia; they combined to start 10 games last year.
When Paris came to down, the transfer portal had gutted the roster. He tried to patch it together with the likes of undersized Citadel forward Hayden Brown, who is talented and can mismatch guys, but may struggle against SEC athletes. Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk is a non-scorer and transfer from Illinois that belongs on a power conference roster. 6’6” Coastal Carolina transfer Ebrima Dibba is a playmaking slasher whose assist numbers really pop. Paris has leaned into a roster with intriguing wing play but no discernible experience at the post and a bunch of guys who aren’t the number-one option. Without that or any experienced posts, the Gamecocks certainly have holes. GG Jackson can only get them so far.
10. Mississippi State Bulldogs
Head Coach: Chris Jans
Record Last Year: 18-16, 10th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: DJ Jeffries, Tolu Smith, Andersson Garcia
I love Chris Jans. Love love love him. From his unique defensive tendencies to the way he always finds diamond-in-the-rough players, he was an incredibly smart hire for the Bulldogs. Starkville is a tough place to win, and Jans brings a great deal of JUCO ties (a great route for the school) and a track record of development and maximizing his group.
Jans gets three solid returners to work with from day one in Tolu Smith (14.2 PPG), DJ Jeffries (8.9 PPG), and Andersson Garcia (4.3 PPG). All three are 6’7” or bigger, and Smith can absolutely anchor the offense playing down on the blocks while leading the SEC in rebounding two years ago. Sprinkle in 6’7” defender Cameron Matthews and there’s enough size and athleticism from the forward spots to really bother the bigger, more talented teams in the league. Jans will certainly maximize that group defensively.
Junior guard Shakeel Moore is a returning starter that withdrew his name from the transfer portal after meeting with Jans, ostensibly because he’ll be a large part of their plans this year. How he fits next to the strong playmaker in Oregon State transfer sophomore Dashawn Davis, who led the Pac-12 in assists last year, remains to be seen. A collection of other transfers can help provide depth and identity here — Jans is really valuing defense and playmaking with his first group.
9. LSU Tigers
Head Coach: Matt McMahon
Record Last Year: 22-12, t-5th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Tyrell Ward, Adam Miller, Cam Hayes, Mwani Wilkinson, KJ Williams, Jalen Reed, Shawn Phillips
Honestly, we could be way off on this one. Matt McMahon is a proven winner, and there’s a ton of intriguing talent here. McMahon brings KJ Williams with him from Murray State, where Williams was one of the best inside-outside threats in all the land. He’s a 6’10” double-double waiting to happen and a very sturdy defender. Northwestern State transfer Kendal Coleman averaged a double-double last year; that’s quality depth to have as well.
The intriguing talent that Will Wade brought in still has some holdovers into the beginning of the McMahon era. Mwani Wilkinson started 30 games last year and is a stat-sheet stuffer of a 6’5” bulldozer. He’s just a productive and skilled player that requires imagination to use correctly. Former Illinois scorer Adam Miller, who missed all of last season due to injury, should be back and could anchor this offensive attack. Those two, along with Williams, are a good basis to work with. Add pass-first point guard Cam Hayes (NC State) and there are pieces.
The incoming freshmen are really impressive, though — it’s crazy that McMahon was able to secure them given the uncertainty around the Tigers this Spring. 6’6” Tyrell Ward and 6’10” Jalen Reed both have the size and skill to impact the rotation right away. Seven-footer Shawn Phillips may need more time to develop but is a long-term name to remember. In the short-term, Hayes-Miller-Wilkinson-Williams is a really potent four-man punch, and with Ward and Reed as talents, the Tigers could make a push for the NCAA Tournament this year.
8. Missouri Tigers
Head Coach: Dennis Gates
Record Last Year: 12-21, 12th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Isiaih Mosley, Sean East, Noah Carter, Nick Honor, Aidan Shaw
Sometimes the pieces just fit together nicely. Dennis Gates is one of the nation’s most underrated coaches — it cannot be overstated how impressive what he did at Cleveland State truly was. After being named coach this Spring, Gates wasted no time on the recruiting trail by killing the transfer market with one of the most underrated classes. Isiaih Mosley (Missouri State) was one of the nation’s best scorers last year and is an isolation option. He’s 6’5” and creates his own, drills from deep and is ultra confident. Add him with talented 6’3” guard Sean East, who spent last year in Junior College, and gritty Clemson transfer Nick Honor (the toughest 5’10” guy you’ll find) and there are plenty of options Gates can rely on.
Noah Carter, the 6’6” mismatch from Northern Iowa, will bring a scoring punch to the table and show he belongs athletically in the SEC. Wing Kobe Brown is the team’s leading scorer last year and will be much better utilized playing off of Mosley. D’Moi Hodge and DeAndre Gholston are two transfers that stock up the rotation. Freshman Aidan Shaw was a nice keep for Gates too; he prioritized re-recruiting Shaw after the coaching change, and while Shaw may not be polished enough for year one, he’s undoubtedly an SEC athlete with extreme upside.
The question mark for this group is down low. Mabor Majak (Cleveland State) is a former George Hill AAU guy that had a ton of success on the circuit; he’s 7’2” and never got minutes at Cleveland State but is at least a giant body. JUCO product Mohamed Diarra is the favorite to start, while Gates could lean into going a tad smaller and play 6’8” 4-man Ronnie Degray at the 5. The point is, this team is deeper and more talented than most realize. Last year, they were missing a backcourt punch and they found that in Mosley and East. This is a legitimate sleeper in the NCAA ranks this year and could make the tournament.
7. Texas A&M Aggies
Head Coach: Buzz Williams
Record Last Year: 27-13, t-5th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Henry Coleman, Manny Obaeski, Tyrece Radford
Rule #18 of college basketball: don’t bet against Buzz Williams. On paper, he’s lost a decent amount from last year and doesn’t have the most talented group of individuals. But Buzz gets his guys to buy in every year, they get better as the season goes on and are an incredibly tough out.
Dexter Dennis (Wichita State) is the perfect transfer fit for Buzz. He defends his ass off and is as gritty as they come — exactly what Williams looks for. Khalen Williams (Arkansas) never panned out for the Razorbacks, but the top-100 recruit is also headed to College Station. Add them with 6’2” Tyrece Radford and 6’0” sophomore Wade Taylor IV will keep the three-guard onslaught the focal point of this team. Radford is a leader, and he’s got all-SEC talent.
6’4” wing Manny Obaeski is super talented and will need to take a step forward to earn a bigger role in the rotation. If Buzz decides to play four guards, that will only help him. Big man Henry Coleman (11.0 PPG) is back to anchor the post, while Michigan State transfer Julius Marble may be able to play the 4 and eat the backup 5 minutes. Mississippi State transfer Andersson Garcia adds depth and defense to the wing rotation.
The bottom line here: the Aggies are deep, experienced, tough, and fit the identity of their coach. They may not have the scoring punch of Quenton Jackson from last year, but they will wear down their opponents and be able to speed up almost anyone. This is a tournament team.
6. Alabama Crimson Tide
Head Coach: Nate Oats
Record Last Year: 19-14, t-5th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Brandon Miller, Jaden Bradley, Charles Bediako, Mark Sears, Jahvon Quinerly, Rylan Griffen, Nimari Burnett, Noah Clowney
A step back in production last year for the Crimson Tide underscored the importance of Herb Jones as a piece for their last few seasons. Kira Lewis, Herb Jones, Josh Primo… losing NBA talent is never easy. Add in the debilitating injury to returning point guard Jahvon Quinerly at the tail end of the season and ‘Bama is a squad many believe will take a slight step back next year.
Quinerly may return around time for SEC conference play, a huge boost for the Tide if true. Ohio transfer Mark Sears can fill in and be a really good 1 or 2 for the Tide; we know Oats likes to have multiple creators on the floor at a time, so Sears fits well with or without Quinerly. Freshman Jaden Bradley was a really good get and a guard we have high hopes for, although he’ll be expected to do a lot right out of the gate. Nimari Burnett will be back from injury and should help with his depth as well.
The star of the show is scoring wing Brandon Miller. If he’s as good as he appears to be through the summer, the Tide could have another one-and-done on their hands, and the scoring punch needed to withstand any losses they’ve previously endured. Charles Bediako is an intriguing big man down low ready to take a leap forward in year two, and having Noah Gurley back for another season at the 4 will really help. Big man Noah Clowney is the future but isn’t ready to supplant Bediako just yet.
We like this group. They need to win enough games early to stay afloat until Quinerly comes back, and can be an NCAA Tournament team if he looks as good as he did last year. Quinerly-Sears-Miller-Gurley-Bediako with the talented Bradley and Burnett off the bench? Sign us up.
5. Florida Gators
Head Coach: Todd Golden
Record Last Year: 20-14, t-5th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Kowacie Reeves, Will Richard, Kyle Lofton, Alex Fudge, Colin Castleton, Myreon Jones
Big Todd Golden guy right here. Huge. What a shrewd hire by the Gators, as Golden is an up-and-comer that can develop talent, identify and use analytics wisely, and run a hell of an offense. He hit the ground running in Gainesville, bringing in three priority transfers in Kyle Lofton (St. Bonaventure), Alex Fudge (LSU) and Will Richard (Belmont). All three figure to be major parts of the Gators offense right away.
The Florida backcourt, led by Lofton and fifth-year Myreon Jones, has a great deal of experience and two guys that can play off of each other well. Jones didn’t play as well last year as he did previously at Penn State, but he is a proven shooter whose numbers can easily rebound. The 6’5” Richard can play the 2 or the 3, had a exceptional freshman year for Belmont, and is a guy we expect to be a mainstay in the starting lineup for the Gators.
Much of Richard’s best position will be determined by how many minutes really belong to Alex Fudge and Kowacie Reeves. Both are insanely talented wings entering their sophomore years. We expect Reeves to have a breakout year and love the flashes we saw from him a season ago. Fudge, on the other hand, is a legitimate 4-man and slasher/ finisher best near the basket. He’s a tremendous rebounder and can do some of the dirty work for this team while athletically standing out. If both of these guys are able to log 25 minutes or more a night and be mainstays in the lineup, Golden will have a stacked roster. Colin Castleton is the most dependable big outside of Lexington in the league, CJ Felder is a good backup forward, and Jason Jitoboh should take a step forward as the backup 5. Most of this hinges on Fudge and Reeves taking a big leap, but this is a tournament team hiding in plain sight.
4. Auburn Tigers
Head Coach: Bruce Pearl
Record Last Year: 28-6, 1st in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Yohan Traore, KD Johnson, Allen Flanigan, Wendell Green, Chance Westry, Johni Broome
If you are one to drink the Bruce Pearl kool-aid, this team may not be that much of a step back from last year’s group that got up to #1 in the country at one point. Sure, the talented Jabari Smith (3rd overall pick) and impactful rim protector Walker Kessler were a massive part of that success, but Pearl has already gone and restocked the frontcourt with Yohan Traore and Johni Broome, dollar store versions of the successful tandem. Add in Dylan Cardwell and there’s enough talent and depth down low to be alright.
The guard group remains intact, and to us, that was one of the underrated and unsung heroes of their season. KD Johnson is a stud, Wendell Green a terrific passer, and Allen Flanigan is an effective wing defender. 6’8” 4-man Jaylin Williams can move into the starting lineup if necessary. Broome can be the shot blocker in their system, while Traore is more of a stretch shooter with a tremendous amount of offensive skills. Sprinkle in the defensive menace that Chance Westry can be and the Tigers are as talented as ever.
Last year’s team was successful because they had good guard play on offense, a generational college shooter at the 4 and one of the best rim protectors of all time. That model for success can win from a blueprint standpoint, though any team is only as good as their pieces. I think we’re going to see a big year from KD Johnson that opens many eyes to just how good he is, and the Tigers still win 20 games. Elite? Not anymore. Really good? Absolutely.
3. Tennessee Volunteers
Head Coach: Rick Barnes
Record Last Year: 27-8, t-2nd in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Julian Phillips, Josiah-Jordan James, Santiago Vescovi, DJ Jefferson, Jonas Aidoo, Zakai Zeigler
Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes is one of the best men in basketball, and there’s a pure love that his players return to him. That effect, as well as the work done by his staff to specifically maximize the group within their scheme, always allows Tennessee to win games. They may not do the greatest at showcasing their pro prospects in translatable ways to the best of their abilities, which makes them a tough eval, but they have a legitimate offensive system that helps them win games.
Kennedy Chandler and John Fulkerson are gone, but starters Santiago Vescovi and Josiah-Jordan James are back. Zakai Zeigler can step into a larger role in the backcourt, and there are other minutes available in the frontcourt for guys like Jonas Aidoo, Uros Plavsic and Olivier Nkamhoua. There’s no shortage of experience for the Vols this year and a decent amount of defensive potential. Vescovi and Zeigler can really shoot, JJJ plays like a 3-and-D winning piece, and the multitude of bigs give them different looks on the interior for post-ups and pick-and-pops.
While there are several freshmen in Knoxville, Julian Phillips stands out as the best and a potential one-and-done player. We like DJ Jefferson as well, a winner off the court and a big guard with a smooth jumper and deep range. If Phillips can shoot, he can start at some point this year (Barnes has been somewhat reluctant to go fully in on young guys) and Jefferson will play a role off the bench. This is a really experienced group that won 27 games a season ago. Look for more of the same for the Vols this year.
2. Kentucky Wildcats
Head Coach: John Calipari
Record Last Year: 26-8, t-2nd in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Chris Livingston, Cason Wallace, Daimion Collins, Oscar Tshiebwe, Jacob Toppin, Antonio Reeves, Sahvir Wheeler, CJ Fredrick, Adou Thiero
Ever since jumping more into the transfer portal than just the freshman one-and-done market, Calipari’s teams have erred on the side of experience. Last year, for example, TyTy Washington was the only freshman to play more than eight minutes per game. Many of those experienced players — Oscar Tshiebwe, Sahvir Wheeler, Jacob Toppin — are back and figure to have a strong grip over their spot in the rotation. But three starters (Washington, shooting specialist Kellan Grady and Keion Brooks) are gone, leaving a few holes to be filled.
The meat and potatoes of this team is the Tshiebwe and Wheeler combination. Sahvir is an unbelievable passer that thrives out of the pick-and-roll and transition creating for others; he’s a blur in the open floor. Tshiebwe is a dominant offensive rebounder with insane strength and athleticism down low; he deserves post-up touches and can score as a roller. The rest of the rotation, then, is about surrounding them with shooting whenever possible.
That’s why the two freshmen coming in that are highly touted (Chris Livingston and Cason Wallace) are so important. Wallace, in particular, is a really good shooter from the combo guard spot; he’s more of a natural point with an elite floater (like Washington) but will be siphoned to more of an off-ball role thanks to Wheeler’s experience. Livingston, a 6’5” high-flying athlete, has a workable jump shot. If he knocks it down, there are minutes to be had, though he could easily lose a rotation spot if he doesn’t.
Jacob Toppin and Daimion Collins, both hyperathletic at the 4, are more rollers than spacers and don’t shoot it at volume. That cramps spacing on offense, meaning we will likely see at least one of Antonio Reeves (39% from 3 at Illinois State last year) or CJ Fredrick (career 46% from 3 at Iowa) in the rotation or starting lineup. Look, Calipari has a formula and clearly defined roles on-court; they can be frustrating from a scouting perspective but he gets guys ready for success in the NBA and wins games in college. Hard to argue with that. The Wildcats have all the talent to be knocking on the door of the top-ten this season.
1. Arkansas Razorbacks
Head Coach: Eric Musselman
Record Last Year: 28-9, 4th in SEC
Prospects to Watch: Nick Smith, Anthony Black, Jordan Walsh, Jalen Graham, Trevon Brazile, Ricky Council IV, Davonte Davis, Makhel Mitchell, Makhi Mitchell, Derrian Ford
All aboard the Muss Bus! The Razorback bandwagon made two stops this offseason: the transfer portal and the top of the high school recruiting board. Musselman simultaneously landed three top 25 recruits and five of the most impactful transfers on the market. With last year’s starting point guard Davonte Davis returning at the point, this Razorbacks team is looking to build on their Elite Eight run from a season ago.
The losses of five seniors and Jaylin Williams to the NBA will hurt in terms of experience, but that’s where the transfers come in. Jalen Graham (Arizona State) is an athletic 6’9” true senior with two years of starting experience at ASU. Makhel (10.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 blocks) and Makhi (9.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks) are the 6’10” twins from Rhode Island; they started their careers at Maryland and help solidify the interior. Those three will hold down the fort down low with Missouri sophomore transfer Trevon Brazile (1.9 blocks in 21 minutes per game as a freshman in the SEC), making this an incredibly deep frontcourt.
In the backcourt and with the offensive reps/ creation burden, that’s where the freshmen come in. Nick Smith is a dynamic scorer reminiscent of Jamal Murray; he can play on-ball or off-ball. Anthony Black is a 6’8” point guard, a dynamic passer with unreal court vision and high IQ. Black, fellow freshman Jordan Walsh, and junior guard Davonte Davis (27%) all struggle shooting the ball, making this instantly a crowded lane for everyone to drive into. 6’6” Wichita State transfer Ricky Council is a good shooter, at least.
Musselman has size at every position, no shortage of NBA talent, a few guys with lottery potential, and experience. The only thing missing is proven 3-point shooting. Smith and Council are solid there, though that may not be enough in late-game situations. They can out-talent opponents and swallow them up with their size on defense most nights. This is a top-15 team without question and can rise up into the top five with more offensive cohesion and well-spaced sets.
