ISO Spotlight: The Year of the C-USA Freshman

One trend I've noticed this year — especially with the state's Conference USA team — is that freshman players have played some very good basketball. It seems like every time I open up my email, I've got something from a program about one of their players being named the conference's Freshman Player of the Week.

So, I thought this was a good chance to shine a spotlight on those players. These aren't all of the freshmen who are getting minutes in Conference USA, but they are six players who've been getting key minutes and have contributed to their team's success in varying ways. If you're someone who doesn't pay as much attention to basketball outside of the biggest conferences, here are some players who you can watch and follow for the next few years.
