Lost in the midst of a wave of new transfers, recruits, and the stay/go decisions of Davion Mintz and Keion Brooks is the fact that Jacob Toppin, who showed a ton of promise in his first year as a Wildcat, will be returning for another year.
Toppin averaged 5.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in about 17 minutes per game last season, while shooting 44.4% from the field and 30% from three. Toppin wasn’t expected to play much of a role last season, but with some players struggling ahead of him, Toppin began seeing more minutes and showed a lot of promise.
