My 2026-2027 USF MBB starting roster prediction 🏀

My breakdown:

Both Sonny Wilson and AJ Dancler put together very impressive seasons at their previous schools. After watching some Sonny Wilson film, I genuinely think he could contend for AAC Player of the Year.

Despite being a freshman, I think Jayden Johnson has a real shot to start. He brings great size and while his game isn’t flashy, everything looks effortless and controlled. There’s a reason he was the #2 ranked senior in Kentucky and one of the highest-rated recruits in USF history. It also appears he’s grown physically, as his Hudl profile lists him around an inch taller and nearly 20 pounds heavier than some of his older recruiting profiles such as On3.

Garrett Johnson had an inconsistent year, but flashed serious potential with multiple 17-18 point games and should help the frontcourt immediately.

I currently project Zayden High as the starting center due to his experience advantage over Tierfing Diawara. UNC fans didn’t seem to think very highly of him, but hopefully he proves them wrong at USF.

Some other notes:
USF may have one of the best guard rooms in the AAC despite some frontcourt concerns. Chris Mack has also spoken extremely highly of Chris Davis Jr. and I expect him to make a major jump this season. We also have multiple players who already proved themselves at the lower-major level.
