SI's top impact freshman: Jereme Richmond #13

Jereme Richmond might be the most versatile player other than Harrison Barnes in the Class of 2010. The 6-foot-7 Waukegan product is a phenomenal athlete who should be able to defend every position other than center. He played four positions as a key member of the U.S.' gold-medal-winning Under-18 team in this summer's FIBA Americas tournament, and should slide into the Illini's starting lineup at small forward.
