The CBS Sports final consensus Big Board is set, taking into consideration the perspective of analysts from CBS Sports and 247Sports.
While the list provides a fitting view of the market with less than one week before the NBA Draft, there are a handful of prospects that I am personally higher on, and also some that might end up going higher than expected next Wednesday.

Prospects who could be picked higher than they are ranked
Jeremiah Fears, Oklahoma
CBS Sports Big Board: No. 11
Fears is a polarizing prospect. Some people think he has star upside and others think he has bust potential. To be clear, I’m in line with where we have him ranked, if not even perhaps a little lower, when balancing out the risk reward ratio. I understand the burst, creativity, and ability to get into the paint at will that has some people so excited. What concerns me most though isn’t even the inconsistent shooting or defensive commitment. It’s the question about how he impacts the game when the team’s offense isn’t built around him.
His archetype – the explosive lead guard playmaker – almost has to be the focal point of an offense in order to work. If not, the next best outcome could be an instant offense type creator off someone’s second unit. I just wouldn’t be willing to use a mid to high lottery pick for that. Ultimately though, it doesn’t matter what I, or even most, think. It only takes one team in that range to believe in his upside and with reported interest from Utah (5), New Orleans (7) and Brooklyn (8), it’s very possible that Fears is off the board before we have him currently rated.
Noa Essengue, France
CBS Sports Big Board: No. 14
Essengue has been a trending prospect in recent weeks, despite the fact that his season in the German League is still ongoing and has prevented him from working out for NBA teams. Viewed as one of the youngest and most athletic players in the draft, Essengue also measured better than expected at 6’10” barefoot with a 7’0.75″ wingspan. He’s clearly going to have to keep refining his game and adding muscle mass to his frame, but the fact that he’s already able to make a consistent impact in a high-level international league is very encouraging. He’s an emphatic leaper and finisher. He runs well, is mobile, and can really cover the court. There’s a lot of untapped upside on the defensive end of the floor and offensively he has a knack for findings ways to score and get to the free-throw line. There is a wide-range of opinions on Essengue, but like Fears, it only takes one GM to fall in love with his upside for him to come off the board, and that might very well happen before the 14th pick.
Will Riley, Illinois
CBS Sports Big Board: No. 32
When the NBA hands out green room invitations, there win-loss record is very convincing. We have Riley ranked as the number 32 prospect on our board, but he was one of the first 19 players the NBA invited to be live and in person on draft night. I’m betting the NBA may know something we don’t, since the last thing they want is TV coverage of a young player and his family getting embarrassed by not hearing their name called on night one. Riley is another polarizing prospect.
He was supposed to be finishing up his high school career this year, but instead reclassified up and committed to Illinois a year earlier than expected. While there were some notable inconsistencies in his season, there were enough flashes of upside to intrigue NBA decision-makers. His shooting upside is higher than his 33% from behind the arc indicates, while there were even more signs of playmaking as the year went on.
The other factor in his favor is that given the amount of players who opted to return to college basketball and collect an NIL payday, there aren’t going to be nearly as many high upside propositions left for teams looking to take a big swing late in the first round.

Prospects who should be ranked higher
Walter Clayton, Florida
CBS Sports Big Board: No. 29
One of the cardinal rules of NBA Draft scouting is to not overreact to what happens in the NCAA Tournament. However, I think the collective thinking may be overcompensating a bit here. To be clear, my enthusiasm for Clayton’s NBA prospectus has very little to do with what happened in the NCAA Tournament, since it came in a highlighted role that I don’t expect him to play in the NBA.
But Clayton is one of the best pure shooters in the draft and that’s one of the most coveted skills a role player can have at the next level. Beyond that, he has a naturally strong and durable frame, stemming from his high school football days. After three years of playing off the ball, Florida also put the ball in his hands this season, and had obviously good success.
That’s not to say he’s a pure point guard, but he does now have the versatility to play on or off the ball at the next level, which is also coveted in the modern NBA. His defensive consistency is going to have to increase, but given that it will be a requisite for playing time at the next level, I expect it will. I’m admittedly higher than most, but I’d be thinking about him as early as late in the lottery.
Joan Beringer, France
CBS Sports Big Board: No. 23
When you look back on recent NBA seasons and rookies who have exceeded expectations, there is one archetype that comes up more consistently than most – the athletic centers who can run the floor, protect the rim, and be a lob threat. That’s exactly what Beringer is. He’s still relatively new to the game and so there are some growing pains in front of him, but the fact that his role is so defined, and translatable, should ease the transition.
Beringer has massive measurements (6-foot-11 barefoot with a 7-4.5 wingspan and 9-3 standing reach), is a high-level athlete, mobile for his size, and pretty comfortable with contact even while he continues to fill-out. What makes prospectus even more compelling is that in addition to his physical tools, he also has terrific hands, which will aid him catching balls in traffic and on the glass. He’s not only a name that I might consider as high as the late-lottery, but also one that I expect to be off the board before the No. 23 spot where he finished on our consensus Big Board.
Noah Penda, France
CBS Sports Big Board: No. 31
Penda is the third Frenchmen on this list and that is not a coincidental theme. France has continued to produce high level young talent, and collectively speaking, I believe that most of draft media has perhaps underrated the depth of this group. Penda may be a prime example. For those teams who aren’t star hunting, and are instead looking for a player capable of cracking the rotation sooner rather than later, Penda should be in consideration in the mid-first-round on.
At 6-7.25 without shoes and 242 pounds with a 6-11.5 wingspan, he has NBA caliber size, strength, and length from Day 1. His massive hands are just an added bonus for teams that value that marker for future success. Beyond the physical, he’s credited for being an advanced processor of the game, on both ends of the floor. Defensively, his instincts and anticipation give him extremely high playmaking metrics.
Offensively, he may not be a dynamic scorer or even as consistent an outside shooter as needed just yet, but he’s a quick decision-maker and good passer. If he gets to the point where he makes standstill threes, I think he’s got a chance to have a long career as a connector on the wing.

South Carolina basketball commit joins Unrivaled NIL League with former Gamecock legends
South Carolina guard Ta’Niya Latson is the latest Gamecock making news off the court, as she has officially signed an NIL deal with Unrivaled, the women’s professional 3-on-3 basketball league founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.

South Carolina guard Ta’Niya Latson is the latest Gamecock making news off the court, as she has officially signed an NIL deal with Unrivaled, the women’s professional 3-on-3 basketball league founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. Latson is just one of 14 elite women’s college basketball players chosen by the league for NIL partnerships as part of “The Future is Unrivaled Class of 2025”. The group was unveiled during the WNBA All-Star Weekend as Unrivaled ramps up for its second season this winter. The league operates during the WNBA offseason and offers an alternative to playing ball overseas, focusing on face-paced 3×3 matchups at a higher level, while still giving players a stage to shine on while staying stateside.
Latson is no stranger to the spotlight either. Before transferring to South Carolina from Florida State, she led the nation in scoring as a Seminole last season, averaging 25.5 points per game. She is also a projected first-round pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Latson also won’t be the only Gamecocks with ties to Unrivaled. Former South Carolina greats Allisha Gray and Aliyah Boston played in the league’s inaugural season, and MiLaysia Fulwiley, now an LSU Tiger, was also named to this year’s NIL class.
Unrivaled presented by Samsung Galaxy just signed 14 of the top women’s college hoopers to game-changing NIL deals.

Texas A&M Student Athletes NIL Earnings Revealed

College athletics has been changed forever. The days of amateurism in college sports are officially in the rear-view mirror.
The age-old debate of whether college athletes should receive compensation or not has been settled, and the results are rising to the surface.
In a recent open records request made by KBTX, Texas A&M athletes were revealed to have banked $50.5 million in NIL deals from July 2, 2024, to July 1, 2025.
The jump from 2023-24 to 2024-25 was more than $31 million. The Aggies’ total compensation has more than doubled every year since the introduction of the NIL era in 2021.
While the Aggies brought in a ton of money for themselves, who it is going to is very lopsided. $48.3 million went to the Fightin’ Farmers’ male athletes, whereas a mere $2.2 million was brought in by the female athletes. The men saw an increase of $29.4 million, or 156 percent, over the past year, while the women saw a 317 percent increase over the same time frame, starting to close the gap.
After the House Settlement was passed in June, the NCAA was ordered to pay former athletes for the organization’s violation of the Sherman Antitrust Laws and introduced a revenue-sharing agreement with its member schools. Each school will now lose $20.5 million in revenue that will be dispersed among their players.
Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts announced the university’s plan to comply with the new ruling shortly after the decision was announced. The university is set to distribute $18 million across football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball to be distributed to the athletes, on top of the NIL revenue they bring in.
With the new costs, Alberts also announced a savings plan that includes budget cuts to sports teams, workforce “right-sizing” and decreased variable expenses tied to the numner of student athletes.
“… You first put as the North Star: ‘What is in the best long-term interest of Texas A&M and Texas A&M athletics?’ Period,” Alberts said in June. “This is not ‘What’s in the best interest of Trev Alberts or any other individual or organization.’ It has to be, ‘This is about Texas A&M.'”
Once the $18 million is distributed to the Aggies, they will really be rolling in the dough, especially if their NIL revenue continues to double and triple like it has over the past four years.

How many athletes, agents are in the College Sports Commission’s NIL database
Three weeks into the House Settlement era, it’s Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips with the latest data on agents and athletes utilizing the new College Sports Commission’s mandatory NIL GO database.

Three weeks into the House Settlement era, it’s Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips with the latest data on agents and athletes utilizing the new College Sports Commission’s mandatory NIL GO database.
The system, enforced by international accounting firm Deloitte and stipulated as part of the House Settlement for any present or future Name, Image and Likeness deals worth $600 or more to student-athletes, already has thousands of athlete- and agent-users, according to Phillips on the heels of his most recent conversation with CSC’s Bryan Seeley, the organization’s chief executive office whom it hired away from Major League Baseball earlier this summer.
“I think it’s helpful, because I talked to Bryan within the last 24 hours,” Phillips told reporters Tuesday at ACC Kickoff in Charlotte. “Just so you know a little bit about, like NIL Go, who’s registered. Let me give you these numbers:
“Student-athletes, 15,519. Reps and agents, 1,970. Average daily logins, about 600 student-athletes a day are getting on NIL Go.”
How many of those athletes and agents are submitting NIL deal-proposals? And how many are getting approval from Deloitte via the CSC?
“Approved deals, I don’t have that number,” Phillips said.
Echoing the sentiments of Southeastern Conference coaches in their recent comments at SEC media days regarding the need for true “enforcement” of the $20.5 million revenue-sharing number, Phillips also cites that as a key and believes Seeley is positioning the CSC to help supply guardrails — essentially nonexistent in college athletics much of the past five years — back into NCAA sports.
“It’s about communication, implementation, and compliance,” Phillips said. “That’s part of what Bryan is trying to do. Overall, he’s watching the enterprise and what the settlement agreement has allowed. Rev share, for the first time, and staying within the $20.5 million, legitimate NIL agreements, not pay-for-play, but legitimate, where the student-athlete is performing something in return for the dollars, and roster limits, which I spoke about a little bit earlier in my remarks.
“We’ve taken off some of these restrictions on scholarship limits and some of that. He’s done a really good job. I go back to why did we want to set this up? It was about setting up a standardized set of rules. It was about transparency, which we haven’t had in the NIL era, and the ability when we began having the ability to pay student-athletes, and enforcement. That’s where we’re headed.”
With Deloitte as the neutral arbiter, the CSC has a three-pronged evaluative method it has said it utilizes to examine and either approve or deny potential NIL deals.
Those three tenets are: Payor association (relationship with business/entity and the athlete’s school); Valid business purpose (commercial transaction as opposed to pay-for-play); Range of compensation (does the offered amount reasonably reflect the actual marketplace).
There are three ruling outcomes: cleared, non-cleared and flagged for additional review.
A not-cleared proposal can be revised, cancelled or requested to be reviewed by yet an additional third-party arbiter.
Phillips knows inevitably coaches, athletes and programs are going to test the boundaries of the House Settlement and college athletics’ new general framework.
“When I said earlier, with the emphasis on restraint, I meant it,” Phillips said. “We can’t help ourselves sometimes. People know what the rules are relative to ($) 20.5 (million). They know what legitimate NIL is.
“You can play in that gray area if you want, but all that does is undermine a new structure.”

Joel Klatt ranks the top five college football teams he’s buying stock in for 2025 season

The 2025 college football season is less than two months away. Ahead of that, analyst Joel Klatt dove into several teams that he’s excited for and buying stock in for the 2025 season.
Klatt explained that he’s buying stock for teams going into next year. That doesn’t necessarily mean picking a favorite to win coming into the season. It means picking teams that he believes are going to take some great strides from where they were in 2024 to where they’ll be in the 2025 season.
It was on The Joel Klatt Show when Klatt broke down all the teams he’s buying stock in. That list of five teams is below.
The Clemson Tigers struggled with their consistency during the 2024 regular season. However, they were able to make the ACC Championship Game, win it, and go to the College Football Playoff. So, there is only so much room to improve, potentially making them a national championship contender in Klatt’s mind.
Klatt explained, “Clemson is just really, really good. I think they’re going to have an outstanding year.” In particular, Klatt would emphasize that Clemson is returning 16 starters, including an experienced quarterback in Cade Klubnik. That combined with a relatively easy schedule should make for a good situation in Death Valley.

Two years ago, Michigan won a national championship. After a step back in 2024, now Klatt expects them to march forward again. He explained, “Michigan went 8-5 a year ago, several close games, coming off that national championship run the year before. Think about the way that they ended their season. You could make an argument that outside of Ohio State winning the national championship… of the teams not in the Playoff, Michigan had the best, easily, last month of the season of anybody in the country.”
The major question for Michigan is the quarterback. After struggling to replace JJ McCarthy in 2024, the Wolverines brought in some interesting options for 2025. That includes veteran transfer Mikey Keane and five-star true freshman Bryce Underwood. If one of them steps into the job quickly, Michigan will be in good shape.
The Utah Utes were a major disappointment in 2024. After transitioning to the Big 12, they dealt with injuries, particularly at quarterback. Klatt explained, “This is a team that I think is primed for a bounce-back buy list. Here we go. Stock up. Year 21 for my man, Kyle Whittingham, at Utah.”
In what could be one of the last years for Kyle Whittingham as the head coach at Utah amid rumors of his retirement, the Utes restocked. That included bringing in a new offensive coordinator, Jason Beck. On top of that, incoming quarterback transfer Devon Dampier is expected to take over the offense. If it all clicks, the Utes should compete for a conference championship.
The Washington Huskies are another team that transitioned to a new conference and struggled in their first year. With Jedd Fisch at head coach, though, Klatt isn’t concerned. He said, “This one is also, maybe a bit under-the-radar. But, I love the track record of their head coach. He kind of did this at a previous stop. He’s quietly built their roster… a team that went 6-7 last year in his first year, and they basically had to replace their whole team from the previous year.”
Klatt also took the time to highlight new Washington defensive coordinator Ryan Walters. He struggled at a head coach but has thrived as a coordinator before. If he hits the ground running, and quarterback Demond Williams shows some improvement in his second season starting, then the Huskies could easily take some strides in the Big Ten.

Joel Klatt wrapped up his top five college football teams to buy stock in with one of the most talked about programs this offseason — North Carolina. With new head coach Bill Belichick, it’s hard not to see what he likes about them, but there are two reasons for the selection, as he explained, “I landed on this one for two reasons. Trust and schedule. My buy is North Carolina because I trust their coach and they play a really favorable schedule.”
Bill Belichick remains one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. He won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, and another two as a defensive coordinator with the New York Giants. It’s hard to say how he’ll transition to college, but he’s proven on the field. After that, Klatt highlighted the schedule, which does include Clemson but otherwise appears manageable within ACC play.

Ahead of the 2025-26 Middle Tennessee men’s basketball season, Adell Harris has joined the Blue Raiders as the Assistant Coach – Director of NIL & Program Operations, announced by head coach Nick McDevitt.
In her role, Harris works closely with McDevitt and his staff to execute the program’s NIL vision, design systems that maximize MTSU’s resources and brand and deliver financial education to help student-athletes establish a strong economic foundation for their future.
As a primary liaison for NIL matters, Harris will also support communication between the coaching staff, administration and the student-athletes – ensuring alignment around NIL strategy, player well-being and overall program vision. Additionally, she oversees all aspects of program operations and logistics.
“I am super excited about adding Adell Harris to our staff and our basketball program,” said Coach McDevitt. “She is highly intelligent, very creative and drive; all qualities that will serve our student-athletes well. She’s a great addition to the Middle Tennessee community.”
Prior to joining Middle Tennessee, Harris served as Chief of Staff for the Vanderbilt men’s basketball program for five seasons. In that capacity, she became the first female Chief of Staff in men’s college basketball – a trailblazing milestone that has created new pathways for women in men’s collegiate sports.
While at Vanderbilt, Harris partnered with head coach Jerry Stackhouse to provide strategic counsel, drive program goals and support key initiatives. Harris supported all facets of program operations, including internal and external communications, student-athlete welfare and academic success. Harris created and implemented Vanderbilt Basketball’s “Academic Excellence Plan”, resulting in significant academic achievements, earning increased SEC Academic Honor Roll selections, back-to-back SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards and multiple College Sport Communicators Academic All-District honorees.
Harris also spearheaded name, image and likeness strategies, leveraging her expertise to enhance branding, marketing and fundraising efforts. She was instrumental in the foundational launch and growth of the Anchor Impact Collective.
Harris oversaw alumni relations – strengthening Vanderbilt Basketball’s alumni presence by creating new events like the #ProsPlayHere alumni celebration, an annual event that attracted former and current NBA players Festus Ezeli, Charles Davis, Aaron Nesmith, Luke Kornet and Darius Garland.
She helped the Commodores reach a pair of NIT appearances, as well as a 22-win season in 2022-23. The 2022-23 squad placed fourth in the SEC, the program’s best finish in 13 season while Stackhouse garnered SEC Coach of the Year honors in the process.
Prior to Vanderbilt, Harris spent 19 years in women’s college basketball, including head coaching tenures at UNC Wilmington (2012-17) and Tusculum University (2009-12). At UNCW, Harris was one of the nation’s youngest NCAA Division I head coaches at age 31, amassing more than 100 career wins as a head coach and graduating every senior who played for her. During her time at Tusculum, she led the program to unprecedented success – earning one regular-season South Atlantic Conference title, two tournament championships and reaching the school’s first-ever NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
“I am both excited and thankful to join Coach McDevitt’s program and the Middle Tennessee Athletics Department at such an exciting time,” said Harris. “I will work relentlessly to help our student-athletes maximize their potential, support our staff and continue the proud tradition of success this program has built and fostered across decades.”
A published author, motivational speaker and career coach, Harris wrote the Amazon bestseller Refuse to Lose – 7 Steps to Make Adversity Your Advantage.
A native of High Point, N.C., Harris played four seasons at Wake Forest University from 1998-2002, appearing in 106 career games. As a team co-captain in her senior season, she averaged 4.6 points per game and led the Demon Deacons with 108 assists during her final season. Harris earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Wake Forest in 2002.

Former Tennessee QB Gaston Moore was the first to leave at that position for the Volunteers back in December. Now, nearly seven months later, he has officially ended up elsewhere for next season.
Moore has signed with USF from the NCAA Transfer Portal. That comes per reporting by On3’s Pete Nakos on Tuesday.
Moore has spent five seasons in college with one year with no games played as a redshirt at UCF before following Josh Heupel and spending the past four with Tennessee. He would appear in 14 games with the Volunteers with no starts.
As a reserve in Knoxville, Moore would be 26-44 (59.1%) for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Most of that came last year as the backup to QB Nico Iamaleava, playing in the most games of his career with six as he posted 59.3% completion for 201 yards, the two touchdowns, and a pair of the picks.
Moore is a native of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He played his high school football there and came out as part of the 2020 recruiting cycle.
In returning to play in college in the state of Florida, Moore has committed to play for Alex Golesh, who was a co-offensive coordinator for him at UCF and his offensive coordinator for two seasons at Tennessee. Golesh has since been 14-12 (.538) through two seasons as head coach of the Bulls with a pair of high-rated offenses so far in Tampa. That said, as far as Moore, he will be joining a quarterback room that does return each of last year’s starters at the position in Bryce Archie and Byrum Brown.
Moore was the last of the 22 transfers for the Vols to still be uncommitted elsewhere in the portal. That reportedly changed this morning with his signing to play for a familiar face down at South Florida.
