Hoops’ Top Frosh for ‘08

Greg Oden and Kevin Durant will still probably make the headlines of this college basketball blog for a while, but officially they should be NBA news by now. Other popular players like Joakim Noah, Mike Conley and Corey Brewer are all gone as well. New players will have to step up next year to become the nation’s most watched athletes. Probably the top returning stars include Tyler Hansbrough from North Carolina and Chris Lofton from Tennessee.

But there is no denying that freshman dominated the headlines last year. With seven taken in the first round of the draft, some of the gurus at ESPN already have their picks for who next year’s class of freshman lottery picks will be. Fran Fraschilla seems to think that the list includes Eric Grodon from Indiana, Derrick Rose of Memphis and O.J. Mayo of USC.

Of course, there could be a lot of other freshman basketball players we haven’t heard much about who will make a name for themselves when the season starts. In order to see them become stars right before your eyes, you need to get NCAA basketball tickets at StubHub.com.
