Transfer Portal Tracker: Where Top Players in College Basketball Are Heading

The men’s college basketball season has reached its conclusion following the national championship game, but college basketball’s calendar never stops, as teams quickly turn their attention to next year’s championship, with the first order of business being the transfer portal. The portal officially opens on Tuesday, but hundreds of players have already made known their plans to transfer, and plenty of coaches and agents descended upon Indianapolis during the Final Four to have informal discussions before the action begins.

With college basketball’s coaching carousel producing plenty of change, the portal figures to once again be a point of emphasis for programs looking to fast track a rebuild, especially given how impactful many of last year’s transfers were this season. So, it makes sense to keep track of the most notable players available in the portal—which is open from April 7 to April 21—and where they’re headed.

Top players in men’s college basketball transfer portal

J.P. Estrella
Transferring from Tennessee
Committed to Michigan

Estrella certainly helped himself with his performance for Tennessee in the NCAA tournament, in which he scored in double figures twice and racked up a double-double in the first round win over Miami (Ohio). Estrella does his best work on the offensive glass, as he ranked eighth in the country in offensive rebounding percentage. At 6' 11" with a 7' 1" wingspan, Estrella becomes the latest big man to transfer to Michigan, and will undoubtedly be eager to recreate the physical play that helped carry the Wolverines to the title this year.

Zoom Diallo
Transferring from Washington
Uncommitted

Diallo averaged more than 15 points per game for Washington in his sophomore season, and could be an immediate upgrade at guard for teams thin at the position. While his destination is still up in the air, news broke on Thursday that he was set for a meeting with Kentucky.

Denzel Aberdeen
Transferring from Kentucky
Committed to Florida

Denzel Aberdeen announced on Instagram that he would be re-enrolling at Florida ahead of next year’s basketball season, noting that he hopes to finish his undergraduate degree. Aberdeen was a part of the Florida team that won the national championship in 2025, playing 19 minutes per game for the Gators. After a year with the Wildcats, it appears he’s ready to head back to Gainesville to finish his college career, though he will need a fifth-year waiver to make the move official. His case for a waiver will stem from the 2022–23 season, when he appeared in 12 games but played just 41 total minutes.

Miles Byrd
Transferring from San Diego State
Committed to Providence

Byrd, who is 6' 7" with a 6' 10" wingspan, was named the Mountain West Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year after a standout season that saw him average 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks in 28 minutes per game. Byrd, a career 39.3% shooter from the field, joins the Friars as an inconsistent offensive player but more than makes up for that with his ability to defend multiple positions on the floor.

Justin Pippen
Transferring from California
Committed to Ohio State

The son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen is joining the Buckeyes. Justin Pippen averaged more than 14 points per game as a sophomore this past season with the Golden Bears, and with several players from last year’s Ohio State squad shopping around the transfer portal as well, should slot in nicely to one of the newly available spots on the roster.

Tyler Lundblade
Transferring from Belmont
Committed to Tennessee

The 6' 6" Lundblade, the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 2025-26, was one of the best sharpshooters available in the portal, having knocked down 3.4 triples per game at a 43.9% clip in each of the last two seasons for Belmont. A sixth-year guard with one year of eligibility remaining, Lundblade on April 2 committed to Tennessee. Rick Barnes’s Volunteers teams have traditionally eschewed three-point shooting in the past, but the longtime hoops coach seems to be turning over a new leaf with the addition of Lundblade.

Oswin Erhunmwense
Transferring from Providence
Committed to Creighton

Erhunmwense made 31 starts for Providence in 2025–26, averaging 6.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. The 6' 10" Erhunmwense struggles with foul trouble and is a poor free throw shooter, but his tenacity on the offensive glass and rim protection abilities was attractive enough to Providence's Big East rival in Creighton, who scooped up the big man in the portal on April 8.

Flory Bidunga
Transferring from Kansas
Uncommitted

Bidunga on April 2 declared for the NBA draft but also entered the transfer portal, effectively taking the first step towards a pro career while also keeping his collegiate options open. In doing so, Bidunga immediately became the top player available in the transfer portal. Bidunga, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, was one of the best rebounders, shot-blockers and paint scorers in the country.

John Blackwell
Transferring from Wisconsin
Uncommitted

Blackwell on April 6 revealed his plans to enter the portal and explore the NBA draft process. Wisconsin’s second-leading scorer in 2025–-26 at 19.1 points per game on 38.1% shooting from three-point range, Blackwell is now the best guard available in the portal, given his power conference experience.

Donnie Freeman
Transferring from Syracuse
Uncommitted

A former McDonald’s All-American, Freeman’s return to Syracuse for the 2025–26 season after an encouraging freshman season was expected to be a boon for Adrian Autry. It did not quite pan out that way. Freeman’s scoring output increased; he averaged 16.5 points per game along with 7.2 rebounds, but he was less efficient as he took on a bigger role, shooting just over 30% from three, down from 33.3% as a freshman. He also missed a large chunk of games due to injury, playing in 23 total after appearing in 14 in his first year in Orange.

Paul McNeil
Transferring from North Carolina State
Uncommitted

With Will Wade back at LSU, one of NC State’s top players has hit the portal. McNeil had an impressive sophomore leap in 2025–26, finishing third on the Wolfpack roster with 13.8 points per game, adding 3.6 rebounds. He was NC State’s best shooter from distance, knocking down a team-high 42.7% of his shots on 7.2 attempts per game. McNeil had eight games of 20+ points last season, including a 47-point outburst against Texas Southern in December and 26 points in the Wolfpack’s ACC tournament loss to Virginia.

Jaylen Carey
Transferring from Tennessee
Uncommitted

Carey is no stranger to the portal. The big man began his college career at James Madison in 2023–24, leaving for Vanderbilt the following year before playing his junior season at Tennessee. Now, he is looking to make it four schools in four years. He averaged 7.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game for Rick Barnes’s squad this year, numbers in line with his career averages. He was particularly impactful in Tennessee’s Sweet 16 win over Iowa State, with 11 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in a 76–62 win over the No. 2-seeded Cyclones.

Dedan Thomas Jr.
Transferring from LSU
Committed to Houston

Thomas was one of the best floor generals in the country before he underwent season-ending foot surgery in February. The 6' 1" point guard averaged 6.5 assists per game compared to 1.6 turnovers while scoring 15.3 points per contest on 45.9% shooting from the field. He’ll have one season of eligibility remaining at Houston after committing to the Cougars on April 11. Thomas was a much-needed backcourt addition for coach Kelvin Sampson with guards Milos Uzan and Emanuel Sharp graduating and Kingston Flemings headed for the NBA draft.

LeJuan Watts
Transferring from Texas Tech
Uncommitted

In three collegiate seasons, Watts has jumped from the Big Sky to the West Coast Conference to the Big 12 this past year, which he spent with Texas Tech. Watts had some big games against top competition—21 points against Illinois in November, 20 points against Duke in December—and stepped up when forward JT Toppin sustained a season-ending injury in February. Watts will go through the NBA draft process but he should have his suitors if he elects to return for another collegiate season.

Alex Wilkins
Transferring from Furman
Uncommitted

Wilkins, a 6' 5", 175-pound guard, was the leading scorer for a Furman men’s basketball team that made the NCAA tournament for just the second time since 1980. The Paladins’ freshman guard proved he could hang with the big boys in the first round loss to UConn, against whom he scored 21 points while draining four triples and handing out four assists.

Sananda Fru
Transferring from Louisville
Uncommitted

The 6' 11" German big man figures to have his fair share of suitors in the portal after leading the Cardinals in field-goal percentage, blocked shots and rebounds per game. Fru was one of the best offensive rebounders in the country. While he wasn’t the most consistent player for Louisville, perhaps a fresh start will benefit him.

Somto Cyril
Transferring from Georgia
Uncommitted

Cyril struggled in the Bulldogs’ first round loss to Saint Louis in the NCAA tournament, but that shouldn’t overshadow the year he had. In his first full season as a starter for Georgia, Cyril was a defensive anchor, tying for the SEC lead in blocks while rattling the rim with thunderous dunks to the tune of 75.9% shooting from the field.

Jeremiah Wilkinson
Transferring from Georgia
Uncommitted

Another Bulldog in the portal, Wilkinson led Georgia in scoring, steals per game and three-pointers made, reflecting his ability to get it done on both ends of the floor. Having excelled in the SEC as a proven scorer and playmaker, Wilkerson figures to get plenty of interest from power conference schools.

Moustapha Thiam
Transferring from Cincinnati
Uncommitted

Thiam was one of the best defensive players in the sport in 2025-26, posting the 23rd-highest defensive rating in the country. The Senegalese big man averaged 12.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game for Cincinnati, helping them field one of the nation's best defenses. Thiam has great shot-blocking instincts and is surprisingly nimble laterally for someone of his stature. The 7' 2" Thiam's size figures to be a great selling point to power conference teams coming off a season where many of the best teams featured tall lineups.

Jackson Shelstad
Transferring from Oregon
Uncommitted

Shelstad’s junior season was poised to be his best yet before a December hand injury limited him to just 12 games. The West Linn, Ore., native averaged 15.6 points and while he was a bit streaky from three-point range, did make big strides as a playmaker, averaging 4.9 assists compared to 1.8 turnovers per game. Unless Shelstad gets a medical redshirt, he will have one year of eligibility remaining.

KJ Evans
Transferring from Oregon
Uncommitted

Evans has NCAA tournament experience from his first two seasons with the Ducks and was the program’s best player in 2025-26, averaging career-highs in points (13.3) and rebounds (7.4). The 6' 9" Evans is a versatile defender, combining the ability to defend the rim with the lateral quickness needed to hold his own on the perimeter.

Stefan Vaaks
Transferring from Providence
Uncommitted

The 6' 7" forward enjoyed a strong freshman season at Providence, averaging 15.8 points while leading the Friars with 3.2 assists per game. Vaaks, a deadly three-point shooter, showed out in the Big East tournament with 28 points and eight triples against Butler followed by 23 points and five treys vs. St. John’s.

Finley Bizjack
Transferring from Butler
Uncommitted

The 6' 4" Bizjack, who is also reportedly planning to test the NBA waters, is one of the best players available in the transfer portal. Bizjack showed improvements as a scorer and free throw shooter for the Bulldogs and has shot 36.1% from three-point range in three collegiate seasons.

KJ Lewis
Transferring from Georgetown
Uncommitted

Lewis made some big shots for the Hoyas in 2025–-26 and was their best player on both ends before a left ankle injury ended his season in February. The 6' 4" guard averaged 14.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.

Paulius Murauskas
Transferring from Saint Mary’s
Uncommitted

Murauskas has been one of the best players in the West Coast Conference in each of the last two seasons but there’s no doubt that the 2025–-26 season was a career year for the Lithuanian forward, who improved his scoring average, field-goal, three-point and free-throw percentages and made strides as a passer. Murauskas is a mismatch, as he can post-up smaller defenders or force bigger defenders to contest his jumper all the way out to the three-point line.

Drew Fielder
Transferring from Boise State
Uncommitted

The leading scorer and rebounder for the Broncos, Fielder is going to be highly sought-after in the portal. Defensive limitations aside, bigs like Fielder who can knock down 40.9% of 2.9 three-point attempts while having the ability to score out of the pick-and-pop, over both shoulders in post-up situations and off the dribble simply don’t grow on trees.

Drew Scharnowski
Transferring from Belmont
Uncommitted

Scharnowski is an incredibly efficient scorer on the inside—his 68.1% field goal percentage would have ranked third in the country had he qualified—as well as a solid rebounder, passer and defender at the rim. The 6' 9" Scharnowski doesn’t offer much in the way of shooting but his footwork and skill in the low post make him an intriguing target for power conference teams.

Jaquan Johnson
Transferring from Bradley
Committed to Iowa State

The 5' 11" Johnson enjoyed a breakout in his first year as a starter for Bradley, jumping his scoring average from 6.6 to 16.9 points per game while shooting 38.3% from three-point range. One of the best defensive guards in the nation, Johnson ranked in the top-10 in steals per game and was the Mountain West Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. He'll now take his services to Iowa State, where he'll fit right in with T.J. Otzelberger's defense-first Cyclones teams.

Jaland Lowe
Transferring from Kentucky
Uncommitted

After averaging 16.8 points and 5.5 assists for Pitt in 2024–-25, Lowe was expected to be a key cog in the Kentucky basketball machine. But a dislocated shoulder bothered him all season, caused a dip in his numbers and eventually ended his season after just nine games. Lowe isn’t a great shooter from outside, but his ability to run an offense will net him plenty of suitors.

Devin Royal
Transferring from Ohio State
Uncommitted

The 6' 6" Royal’s move from small to power forward didn’t help his offensive efficiency overall, but did help him become more comfortable as a three-point shooter. With the Buckeyes’ frontcourt getting crowded, Royal entered the portal in search of more minutes, and perhaps a return to the four.

Neoklis Avdalas
Transferring from Virginia Tech
Uncommitted

Avdalas spent four seasons in the EuroLeague and Greek Basketball League before joining the Hokies as a freshman in 2025-26. At 6' 9", Avdalas offers intriguing playmaking skills—he averaged over twice as many assists to turnovers—and, despite his 31.4% shooting from beyond the arc, capable three-point marksmanship.

Isaiah Johnson
Transferring from Colorado
Committed to Texas

Johnson was remarkably efficient as a freshman, averaging 16.9 points on 48.6/37.8/82.1% shooting splits. Johnson’s ability to score at all three levels and consistently get to the free throw line made him a popular transfer portal target. Ultimately, he landed with the Longhorns, where he will help make up for the scoring punch Texas lost with graduating seniors Jordan Pope and Tramon Mark.

Money Williams
Transferring from Montana
Uncommitted

Williams took a leap offensively in 2025–26, as he was the rare scorer who became more efficient with a bigger workload. The 6' 4" guard tends to turn the ball over too much but proved he can take over games—seven 30-plus point games this season—when his team needed him to.

Isiah Harwell
Transferring from Houston
Uncommitted

A former five-star recruit, Harwell didn’t see much playing time in the Cougars’ crowded backcourt, as he played just 13.9 minutes per game in 2025–-26. At 6' 6", Harwell is a big guard who can shoot the ball, and will be entering just his second collegiate season in 2026–-27. He’ll have plenty of suitors.

Wes Enis
Transferring from South Florida
Uncommitted

Enis transferred from Division II Lincoln Memorial to South Florida, where he immediately proved he belonged at the Division I level. Enis isn’t the most efficient scorer, but he’s a volume shooter, particularly from beyond the arc, where he knocked down the seventh-most triples per game in the nation. Could Enis follow former Bulls coach Bryan Hodgson to Providence?

Juke Harris
Transferring from Wake Forest
Uncommitted

Harris made strides on both ends of the floor in his first full season as a starter for the Demon Deacons, as he posted career highs across the board while ranking 13th in the nation in scoring. The 6' 7" Harris, the ACC’s Most Improved Player in 2025–-26, has also declared for the NBA draft.

Markus Burton
Transferring from Notre Dame
Uncommitted

One of the more experienced players in the portal, Burton has 68 collegiate starts to his name and has averaged 19.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 33.2% from three-point range. Burton in Dec. underwent season-ending surgery to repair a left ankle injury and could have two years of eligibility remaining should he qualify for a medical hardship waiver.

Terrence Hill Jr.
Transferring from VCU
Uncommitted

Hill, the A-10’s Sixth Man of the Year and Most Improved Player, averaged 15.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 37% from three-point range. Hill’s 34-point, seven-triple masterpiece in VCU’s first round upset of North Carolina in the NCAA tournament answered any questions on how he could fare against power conference competition.

Kyle Evans
Transferring from UC Irvine
Uncommitted

Evans was the nation’s best shot-blocker, averaging 3.3 swats per game in 2025-26, his first full season as a starter. The 6' 10" Evans also averaged 12.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game for the Anteaters.

Aiden Sherrell
Transferring from Alabama
Uncommitted

The sophomore forward was an important piece of the Alabama frontcourt, averaging 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks while spacing the floor out to the three-point line to the tune of a 33.8% mark from beyond the arc. Sherrell accomplished all this in just 23.9 minutes per game. With two years of eligibility and room to grow, Sherrell could be a wise addition in the portal for frontcourt-needy teams.

Bryson Tiller
Transferring from Kansas
Uncommitted

Tiller is a 6' 10" power forward who can score the ball—he posted double figures in points 13 times this season—can rebound and defend the rim. The true freshman also at times showed comfort stretching his jumper out to the three-point line, particularly during a Nov. nonconference affair against North Carolina (four three-pointers made) and a Jan. conference game against BYU (three triples made).

Acaden Lewis
Transferring from Villanova
Uncommitted

Lewis was handed the keys to the Villanova offense as a true freshman—and the Wildcats were in capable hands. He handed out 5.3 assists compared to 2.2 turnovers per game and was an active defender, swiping 1.9 steals per contest. Lewis seems to have the tools to be a good shooter, but he struggled from beyond the arc (27%) and at the free-throw line (58.3%). The Washington, D.C., native is set to explore the NBA draft process in addition to entering the portal.

Dai Dai Ames
Transferring from Cal
Committed to Tennessee

Ames took on a much larger offensive role for Cal in 2025–-26, and his efficiency impressively didn’t dip all that much. Capable of scoring at all three levels, Ames posted 12 games with 20-plus points and shot 37.6% from beyond the arc. Ames, who has entered the portal in each of the last two seasons and had tested the NBA waters, has committed to Tennessee.

Matt Able
Transferring from NC State
Uncommitted

Standing 6' 6" with a wingspan nearing seven feet, Able posseses the size of a prototypical guard. The former top-25 recruit had an up-and-down freshman season, but flashed the ability to be a knockdown three-point shooter and an active defender. Able is also putting his name into the NBA draft.

Kyan Evans
Transferring from North Carolina
Uncommitted

Evans joined Hubert Davis’s Tar Heels program last year after a solid sophomore season at Colorado State in 2024–25, in which he averaged 10.6 points and 3.1 assists per game, and knocked down 44.6% of his threes. He made 17 starts at UNC but was a role player, averaging four points per game and seeing his three-point percentage slip to just over 30%. Evans played just 28 total minutes in UNC’s final four games of the season, including losses to Duke in the regular season finale, Clemson in the ACC tournament and VCU in the NCAA tournament. He did not score a point in those last four games.

Gavin Doty
Transferring from Siena
Committed to Syracuse

The Fulton, N.Y., native was one of the best players in the MAAC this season, averaging 18 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. He was the MVP of the Saints’ surprise run to the conference tournament title, and dropped 21 points on Duke in Siena’s remarkable first-roudn upset bid. Now, he’ll relocate two hours to the west and join former coach Gerry McNamara’s Orange.

PJ Haggerty
Transferring from Kansas State
Committed to Texas A&M

A terrific scorer, Haggerty has been a bit of nomad throughout his college career. He redshirted for TCU in 2023 before transferring to Tulsa in 2024, where he averaged 21.2 points per game. Haggerty then moved over to Memphis, where he won the American scoring title and garnered All-America honors in 2025 on a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament. After the Tigers lost in the first round to Colorado State, Haggerty jumped to the Wildcats, He averaged a career-best 23.4 points per game, second in the conference to BYU forward AJ Dybantsa. Now, he's headed to the SEC, where he'll play for Bucky McMillan's Texas A&M Aggies.

Jaylen Petty
Transferring from Texas Tech
Uncommitted

Petty made 22 starts for the Red Raiders in 2025–26, averaging 9.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 37.5% from three-point range. The 6' 1" guard was among the Texas Tech players who stepped up in the aftermath of the JT Toppin injury and the freshman guard saved his best game of the season for the bright lights of March Madness. Petty scored a season-high 24 points and drained five triples in the Red Raiders' first round victory over Akron.

Jizzle James
Transferring from Cincinnati
Uncommitted

Veteran guard Jizzle James is in the portal after playing 95 games, including 58 starts, over his three seasons at Cincinnati. James has perfected his outside shooting, exemplified by his career-best 44.2% shooting from deep this season on 4.1 attempts per game. James also set a high water mark in field goal shooting overall, converting on 44% of his shots from the field while averaging 10.9 points per game. He should draw plenty of high major interest with one year of eligibility remaining.

Rob Wright III
Transferring from BYU
Uncommitted

Wright, a rising junior, departs BYU and immediately becomes one of the best offensive backcourt players in the portal. It will be the third season in three years for Wright, who began his career at Baylor before transferring to the Cougars last season. Whoever picks up Wright will be getting a gifted scorer. He averaged 18.1 points per game this season on 46.7% shooting overall with a 41% mark from three in 35 starts for BYU.

Nik Khamenia
Transferring from Duke
Uncommitted

Khamenia spent one season with the Blue Devils, playing in 38 games and coming off the bench in all but five, averaging 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds on 44.4% shooting from the floor in 19.8 minutes per game. Khamenia is likely looking for a bit of a bigger role elsewhere, but in a small sample size, he looks capable of producing on the wing for a high major.

Massamba Diop
Transferring from Arizona State
Uncommitted

Born in Senegal and educated in Spain (where he dabbled in the professional ranks), Diop was the Sun Devils’ best all-around player in an otherwise lost season. He averaged 13.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.1 blocks per game; the last of those figures ranked second in the Big 12 to Bidunga. His best demonstration of his potential came Jan. 3, when he scored 20 points and blocked seven shots against Colorado. If your team needs size, keep an eye on him.

Budd Clark
Transferring from Seton Hall
Uncommitted

Veteran guard Budd Clark is in the portal with one year of eligibility remaining. After spending the first two years of his career at Merrimack, Clark played a crucial role this season as a junior for Shaheen Holloway at Seton Hall. Clark started all 33 games for a third-straight season, and has started all 99 games of his career. This year, Clark averaged 12.7 points and 4.9 assists on 43.7% shooting. Clark is a downhill scorer who has struggled with his shot from the perimeter his entire career. He is just a 22.7% three-point shooter at the college level.

Alvaro Folgueiras
Transferring from Iowa
Uncommitted

Iowa forward Alvaro Folgueiras has entered the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining. The Hawkeyes forward was one of the first wings off the bench this season for the Hawkeyes, playing in 37 games while averaging 8.4 points and 3.3 rebounds on 50% shooting from the floor overall and 33.3% shooting from three in his only year at Iowa. He played his first two college seasons at Robert Morris. Folgueiras made the game-winning three late in regulation to end Florida's national title defense in the NCAA tournament.

Eric Reibe
Transferring from UConn
Uncommitted

UConn freshman center Eric Reibe has entered the transfer portal with three seasons remaining, and it will be a seismic loss for the Huskies if he does indeed end up elsewhere. Reibe played 40 games as a freshman, largely serving as a reserve to star Tarris Reed. Reibe averaged 5.9 points and 3.3 rebounds on 65.8% shooting. However, in five starts with Reed out of the lineup due to injury, Reibe averaged 12.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. He was expected to be UConn's starting center next season. He should garner plenty of high major interest off his potential alone.

Allen Graves
Transferring from Santa Clara
Uncommitted

Graves on Friday entered the portal and immediately became one of the best players available. The 6' 9" forward averaged 11.8 points on 51.2% shooting from the field and 41.3% shooting from three-point range while earning Sixth Man of the Year honors in the West Coast Conference. He hit a huge, go-ahead three-pointer with 2.4 seconds left to give the Broncos the lead over Kentucky in their first-round NCAA tournament game, moments before Otega Oweh's game-tying triple sent the game to overtime. The Santa Clara star is an NBA-level prospect with an offensive game that will attract attention from plenty of power conference teams.

Jake Hall
Transferring from New Mexico
Uncommitted

Hall was the Lobos' leading scorer and one of the best three-point shooters in the country in a season that saw him earn Mountain West Freshman of the Year Honors. The 6' 4" Hall was at his best in conference play and in the NIT, in which he averaged 19.4 points and helped New Mexico advance to the semifinal. Hall is open to a return to the Lobos, who are currently in the process of recruiting his little brother Dax Hall, but high major teams will undoubtedly be circling the waters.

Collin Chandler
Transferring from Kentucky
Committed to BYU

Chandler started 32 games as a sophomore for Kentucky in 2025-26, averaging 9.7 points on 41% shooting from three-point range. Chandler, who originally committed to BYU out of high school before decommitting, finally lands in Provo, Utah, where he will help make up for the departures of Richie Saunders and Rob Wright III.

Luka Bogavac
Transferring from UNC
Uncommitted

UNC freshman guard Luka Bogavac has entered the transfer portal. Bogavac played in 33 games, including 21 starts for the Tar Heels last season. In a major role, he averaged 9.8 points on 40.2% shooting from the floor overall and a 34.9% mark from three.

On paper, he could have had a big role for Carolina next season. But with the coaching change, he will be heading elsewhere.
