Remagen and Onat are on the list of 18 OVC Players to Watch that were unveiled today while the predicted order of finish will be released tomorrow.
A sophomore transfer out of Georgia Tech, Remagen was one of the most highly touted 2025 international recruits before playing in 11 games for the Yellow Jackets a year ago.

Onat was also one of the most sought-after 2026 international recruits as the freshman from Istanbul, Türkiye broke out at the 2024 FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup. The 6-5, 205-pounder joined Cameron Boozer (2025-26 National Player of the Year at Duke, No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft), AJ Dybantsa (first team All-American at BYU, No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NBA Draft), Oscar Goodman (member of the 2025-26 national champion Michigan squad) and Maikcol Perez (Baylor) on the All-Star Five all-tournament team.
