Here we go, baby! Bulta, Hoops Nation, is time for the pre-season Royce teams 2025-26 of Dickie V, and my diaper dandies list full of stars. We are talking about players during stellar hours (PTPERS) are ready to illuminate the score and make this season for ages.
You know me. I do not deliver the honors of Rolls Royce with a player, unless he is the kind of standing up and saying: “Are you serious, honey?”
So let's notify the best of the best!
First team
PJ Haggerty, Kansas State Wildcats: The Transfer Express finally lands in Manhattan, Kansas and Boy, Oh Boy, Jerome Tang is considered a great player and an annotation machine. Haggerty fell 21 points per night in the last two years, and, by the way, he established a tournament record of the US conference with 42 points in a game. But it's not just a scorer, he is also a game creator and a defender. It is a legitimate Royce Ptper.
Braden Smith, Purdue Boilermakers: The teacher, the driver, the PTPER converted into a veteran of the diaper. The winner of the Bob Cousy award led the entire nation last season in assists. He is the player of the year Big Ten, a first All-American team, and when you are looking for conference records for Dimes, you are the Rock Royce of Point Guards. He is Purdue's straw that shakes the drink.
JT Toppin, Texas Tech Red Raiders: Double-Double Deluxe, baby! This young man was appointed player of the year of Big 12, registering 19 double doubles last season. He does it with muscle, hustle and heart. Are you talking about hardness? Toppin is the reliable Down Low, a Rolls Royce Red Raider.
Graham Ike, Gonzaga Bulldogs: The mailman always delivers. He has been presenting constant double figures throughout his career, and with almost 60% of shots, it is money in the block.
Bennett Stirz, Iowa Hawkeyes: From the state of the northwest of Division II of Missouri to Drake to the great stage in the city of Iowa, what history of Cinderella. It is a scoring guard with clutch DNA. Last year? More than 600 points, 200 assists, 70 robberies. No one in the history of the Mountain Valley conference did that before him. Now he is ready to show the Big Ten, it is material during stellar schedule.
Second team
Trey Kaufman -renn, Purdue Boilermakers: Ohhh, it's a scoring dynamo. He averaged 20 points, six boards, two assists and fired almost 60% from the floor. Are you teaching me? It is a scoring machine in the paint, baby. The Matt Painr painting team is alive and well with TKR by directing the front program.
Donovan Dent, Ucla Bruins: The only player in the United States last year to average more than 20 points and more than 6 assists, is striking, is fast, and now goes to Westwood after three seasons in New Mexico to direct the program for Mick Cronin. The Bruins got a baller.
Nick Martinelli, Wildcats of the Northwest: Martinelli led the Big Ten in annotations and established a school record last season. The child has touch, hardness and talent. He is the Rolls Royce scorer of the Wildcats.
Emanuel Sharp, Houston Couars: Clutch city, baby! MVP of the Big 12 tournament, Regional MOP of the West Media of the NCAA Tournament, a Final Four star. It can tear it down from the depths and the strip. It's ice, baby!
Otega Oweh, Kentucky Wildcats: Big Blue Nation loves this guy. It is strong, explosive and clutch. He hit not one, but two winners of the game last year. He is the Royce Slasher Rolls of the Wildcats.
Diaper dandies
These are the first -year phenomena, future lottery teams, children of the “Wow” factor who are ready to dazzle from day one.
Darryn Peterson, Kansas Jayhawks: Naismith Hs poy, you can write down, bounce, pass, defend. Bill Self became a great winner in Peterson, who is a future Selection of Draft Top-3.
AJ Dybantsa, Byu Cours: The recruit number 1 in class 2025, Dybantsa has 6 feet 9 inches with mangoes, athletics and an MVP performance in the FIBA Men's U19 U19 World Cup. It is a projected general draft selection No. 1.
Cameron Boozer, Duke Blue Devils: The son of the superstar of Duke Carlos Boazer, but this child is carving his own legend. It is also a twice Gatorade National Poy, a double-double machine and a Blue Devil Rolls Royce guaranteed.
Nate Ament, Tennessee volunteers: With 6-11 with guard skills, Ament is versatile and ready to shine in Knoxville. A lock and edge edge diaper.
Mikel Brown Jr., Louisville Cardinals: A general luxury floor. It has a deep range, a great vision and the confidence of a veteran. It will be the man of Louisville.
Darius Aqueff, Arkansas Razorbacks: Quick, explosive and clutch lightning. He has that Fire and Razorker Fire by Iiverson, baby. Dandy alert of pajo in Fayetteville!
