With Lucca Staiger (Iowa State) having signed wit Alba Berlin, Nick Schneiders (USC Upstate) now playing for New Yorker Phantoms Braunschweig and Andy Büchert (Winthrop) signing with Eisbaeren Bremerhaven - all of the german pro league BBL - some new faces are following already well established Elias Harris:
Elias Harris (SG/SF/PF - University of Gonzaga / 6'8'')
Sensational freshman season, averaging 14,9 ppg., 7,1 rpg. in roughly 30 minutes in 34 games as a starter. Decided to stay at Gonzaga instead of declaring for the NBA draft, where he was listed as a late first rounder in many mock drafts.
------------------------------------------
Christian Standhardinger (SF/PF - University of Nebraska / 6'8'')
Played only half a season as a freshman due to his redshirt status. Had a hard time fitting into his new role at PF, since mainly playing SG/SF throughout his years in Germany, averaging 8,1ppg., 3,8 rpg. in about 15 minutes per game. Many experts predict a breakthrough season at Nebraska during his sophomore season.
------------------------------------------
Christopher Niemann (C - University of Nebraska / 6'11)
Sat out one year as a redshirt and was unfortunately forced to sit out the entire 09/10 season as well due to injury.
Will make his team debut with three years of eligibility left. Due to lack of size on the roster, Niemann may see quite some playing time along with Standhardinger.
-------------------------------------------
Alex Schrempf (SG/SF - UCLA / 6'5'')
Son of former NBA star Detlef Schrempf still needs to find his way into the lineup at UCLA, where he hasn't seen any playing time in his freshman year. During summer, he played some solid games for the german junior NT. Will be interesting to observe if he can manage to get the coaches attention as a sophomore.
-------------------------------------------
Max Groebe (SG - Cornell University / 6'4'')
Going into his junior year at Cornell, finishing last season with 3 ppg. and 56,1% shooting from threepoint range.
-------------------------------------------

Enosch Wolf (C/7'1''/Göttingen) has commited to join University of Connecticut after having received scholarship offers from Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Boston College and Oklahoma as well.
