To kick-off each college basketball season, SB Nation’s Mike Rutherford breaks down his list of the “Top 100 Players in College Basketball”. And for a second straight season, Oregon State has placed a familiar face on that list in the presence of 6’ 10” forward Tres Tinkle, the Beavers do-it-all junior talent.
Ranked in front of many notables, including UCLA guard Jaylen Hands (#94), Oregon super-freshman Bol Bol (#92) and Washington big man Noah Dickerson (#78), Tinkle’s much-improved rankings from a season ago is showing that while Oregon State may not have the national brand it so yet desires on the hardwood, Tinkle is still getting his due credit individually.
