I guess you might have to look at who is going to have a freshman who is expected to play a big role for their team. My guess for now would be Rice with Drake since they will be looking for someone to fill Young's scoring shoes. I don't know that WSU or MSU will be needing any freshman to step into big roles.
SIU has Taylor who may be asked to do a lot, but that also assumes Lowery has figured out how to put in an offense.
I'll throw a name out there from UNI. Chip Rank. He comes in and may step into Adam Koch's starting spot at the 4 (Jake Koch can/has/does play the 5). 6'6" strong player with demeanor that has been described as similar to Lucas O'Rear but with a good shooting touch. We also have a RS Fr guard who has a chance to fill the Ali role, but I think he will be a reserve this year behind Sonnen and James.
