Players (Destination): Evan Turner (Ohio State); Demetri McCamey (Illinois); Carlton Fay (Southern Illinois); Sam Maniscalco (Bradley); Jon Rice (Belmont); Dwight McCombs (Miami-OH)
Notes: Evan Turner and Demetri McCamey were the state's most heavily recruited prospects outside of Derrick Rose. Both will be impact players next season with a shot at starting at the point guard slot. Carlton Fay is a special player who may steal a starting spot for the Salukis.
