Potential X-factor for Canes Poplar has a chance to be an offensive contributor for Miami during his freshman season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports. Impact Poplar is a consensus three-star recruit that enters a Miami team loaded with upperclassmen, but it seems the door is open to contribute right out of the gates. He recorded five points and six rebounds while seeing the second-most reserve minutes in an Oct. 20 exhibition against Nova Southeastern, so it appears he's already secured a spot in the rotation. He might need an injury to gain fantasy relevance in his freshman season, but those in long-term dynasty formats featuring the ACC may want to take note now.
