College basketball is a reflection of society. Everyone wants to win now. Every fan wants a bigger, quicker and faster freshman to take his school to the next level. Who is the next big thing? The reality is that for every McDonald’s All-American playing for Kentucky, Kansas and Duke, there is an under-the-radar player who is having an impact on his team and program.

Some of those players make their impact immediately, while others find it to be a process. This is at both high-major programs that consistently play on national television, and at the mid-major level. Each season there are under-recruited players who, when given the opportunity, flourish. This can be as a result of more on-court minutes, better coaching and additional time in the weight room.

While they may not all become high NBA draft selections, the following 12 players are primed for big seasons. Let’s take a look at the nation’s most underrated players.


Olivier Hanlan | G | Boston College Eagles
2013-14 per game stats: 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds

Although Boston College has struggled the past two seasons, there’s no doubt Hanlan has emerged as one of the best guards in the ACC. He closed out his freshman season by dropping 41 points in a win against Georgia Tech in the opening round of the ACC tournament and built on that performance his sophomore season. Hanlan shot 34.7 percent from deep and got to the line seven times a game.

At 6-4, he’s a tall guard who plays at his own pace. He does an excellent job of changing speed and direction and uses his size to shoot over the defense. He’s patient coming off screens and is hard to defend off ball screens. Eagles coach Jim Christian is expected to use him both on and off the ball.

also on that list is former Donahue recruit niang
