The top 100 mid-major player names for 2019-20

By themselves, unique player names help endear college players to fans. When attached to a talented athlete, they only bolster the legend surrounding the competitor (see: the guy pictured above).

Last season, we compiled a list of the mid-major all-name teams, but we’ve decided to go a step further this time around and compile a list of the top 100 names in mid-major basketball for the upcoming season.
