10. Jalen Tate 

Old school: Northern Kentucky | New school: Arkansas
Predicting how Musselman will fuse four freshmen and two transfers with the returning roster is a challenge. But his history suggests he'll have a plan, and Tate figures to be big part of it. The lanky wing is a potential All-SEC defender who can distribute, rebound and, if necessary, score. He'll have a chance to do it all for the Hogs after three great seasons with one of the Horizon League's top programs.

Darrin Horn: Only two first-year coaches took home automatic bids to a 2020 NCAA Tournament that never was. Horn and his NKU Norse were there with Belmont in doing so. The Norse finished 23-9 and won the Horizon League title out of the No. 2 seed spot, beating UIC in the championship game on March 10, approximately 44 hours before the season was killed. When NKU made this hire, Horn was a bolt from the blue; almost no one realized he was the favorite until news broke that he landed the job. One year in, it looks like the right call. The school has three tourney titles in the past four years.
