Transfers coming into their own at new homes, and emerging sophomores highlight this week's top additions.

Armaan Franklin, G, Indiana
Franklin is another emerging sophomore listed here, and it's all about a minutes increase. He's seeing 29.0 mpg after just 13.8 last year, and it's resulted in 10.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 2.7 apg and 1.2 spg.
