Talor Battle, G, Penn State
Trevor Booker, F/C, Clemson
Craig Brackins, F, Iowa State
Da'Sean Butler, F, West Virginia
Sherron Collins, G, Kansas
Mike Davis, F, Illinois
Corey Fisher, G, Villanova
Lazar Hayward, F, Marquette
Robbie Hummel, F, Purdue
JaJuan Johnson, F/C, Purdue
Quincy Pondexter, F, Washington
Deon Thompson, PF, North Carolina
Evan Turner, G/F, Ohio State
Jarvis Varnado, C/F, Mississippi State
