Bracketeer.Org is committed to delivering wide-ranging recognition and coverage to all 31 conferences across College Basketball. The Non-Power Conference Watch List has identified 68 players who were considered for the three All-American Teams and includes players poised to be all-conference level players across each of the 22 eligible conferences. Regardless of position, any player on an active roster can be considered a preseason All-American.
The 2025 Bracketeer.Org Non-Power Conference Player of the Year will be announced in the final week of March 2025.
Bracketeer’s All-American Watch List for the Non-Power Conferences recognizes the college basketball season’s most outstanding players regardless of position. We are excited to find more ways to honor the 22 conferences that do not get nearly enough attention in D1 Basketball. The list contains players from all 22 eligible conferences.
Regardless of position, any player on the active roster is eligible to be considered a preseason All-American. As such, the Bracketeer All-American Teams recognize the outstanding team player and leadership, not merely exceptional individual success. The watch list was comprised after seven consecutive months of schedule consulting and mass-scale roster tracking by Rocco Miller and input from various coaches, industry journalists, and industry peers throughout the offseason.
A midseason watch list will be released in early January or before. The Final All-American Awards will be given in late March.
