The 2018-19 season is still six months away, but our college basketball writer is thinking ahead. This week? Ten returning Big Ten players poised for a breakout:
1. Geo Baker, So., Rutgers
The Big Ten got a good look at Baker in 2017-18 after he started 29 of 33 games for the Scarlet Knights and averaged 10.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. Corey Sanders' decision to turn pro and hire an agent simply means the ball will be in Baker's hands even more this coming season.
2. Nojel Eastern, So.
