The college basketball transfer portal has been on fire in the last week with enormous names hitting free agency, aiming to cash in on the influx of money in a historic cycle.
It calls for a fresh rankings update, and there was a heated debate at the top between two AAC rivals: Memphis’ PJ Haggerty and UAB’s Yaxel Lendeborg. Parsing the differentiators between two unquestioned studs is not easy. Haggerty was a second-team All-American for CBS Sports and the Player of the Year in the AAC, but Lendeborg earned the slight nod to stay atop the transfer rankings for a few reasons.
- Overall talent. Lendeborg is a firm contender to be a first-round pick. Haggerty is not in that discussion.
- Positional value: There are a boatload of scoring guards in this portal cycle. None are as decorated as Haggerty, but there are dozens of quality scoring guards that teams can find to fill a role. There are very few 4-men who can pass, dribble, shoot and defend. It’s no coincidence that each Final Four team had an awesome 4-man (Duke’s Cooper Flagg, Auburn’s Johni Broome, Florida’s Alex Condon/Tommy Haugh and Houston’s J’Wan Roberts).
- Defense. Lendeborg is one of the top individual defenders in college basketball. Haggerty has many strengths, but defense is not one of them.
If Lendeborg stays in the 2025 NBA Draft, Haggerty will vault to No. 1.
Here’s the updated Top 100 And 1 players in the transfer portal, with numerous big-name studs hitting free agency when desperation is at its peak.
Check out the top players in the portal and the latest transfer portal updates from 247Sports.
1. F Yaxel Lendeborg
Transferring from: UAB | To: Michigan
The scout: A 6-foot-9, 240-pound do-it-all forward who can play the 4 or smallball 5. His 30-20-8-0-4-5 AAC Tournament line was one of the best stat lines in college hoops all season. Lendeborg is the most complete player in this portal cycle. If he returns to school, he’s a First Team, All-League talent with a chance to be a first-round pick in the NBA Draft.
2. G PJ Haggerty
Transferring from: Memphis
The scout: The turbo scoring guard is one of the elite transition terrors in college basketball who just lives at the charity stripe. The AAC Player of the Year is capable of scoring 40 or picking defenses apart as a creator. Haggerty isn’t a high-volume 3-point shooter or an elite defender, but the 6-3 guard will threaten for the scoring title in any league in America next season.
3. PG Bennett Stirtz
Transferring from: Drake | To: Iowa
The scout: Pick-and-roll maestro and elite shot-maker who shot over 70% at the rim. Led Drake’s NCAA run and follows coach Ben McCollum to Iowa. One of the Big Ten’s best lead guards in the making.
4. G/F RJ Luis
Transferring from: St. John’s
The scout: Physical, 6-7 wing who dominates in transition and slashes with force. Big East Player of the Year with NBA traits. If the shot and decision-making level up, he’ll be a two-way star.
Why timing and money—not Rick Pitino’s choice to bench him—drove RJ Luis from St. John’s to transfer portal
Isaac Trotter
5. PG Donovan Dent
Transferring from: New Mexico | To: UCLA
The scout: Elite pick-and-roll operator with uncanny touch and feel. Lives in the paint and creates high-percentage looks. Surrounded by shooters at UCLA, he could thrive as Mick Cronin’s lead guard.
6. F Darrion Williams
Transferring from: Texas Tech
The scout: Swiss army forward who can handle, post, shoot (38% from 3-point range), and pass. Tough, physical mismatch hunter who’s been a key cog on three straight NCAA teams. All-League upside.
7. G/F Jamir Watkins
Transferring from: Florida State
The scout: Physical 6-7 wing who averaged 18+ points and brings positional versatility. Hit a career-high 53 3-pointers and drew tons of fouls off the bounce. He’s a mature, two-way difference-maker.
8. SG Ian Jackson
Transferring from: North Carolina
The scout: One of the most explosive freshmen in transition, shooting 39% from 3-point range. Can score in bunches and has an elite first step. Needs to refine decision-making but has star upside.
9. PG Rob Wright
Transferring from: Baylor | To: BYU
The scout: National champ at Montverde with Cooper Flagg and Big 12 All-Freshman pick. Savvy, shifty floor general with a strong handle and paint pressure. All-American potential if he stays in school for multiple seasons.
10. G Adrian Wooley
Transferring from: Kennesaw State | To: Louisville
The scout: One of the best freshmen in the country, shooting 41% from 3-point range and 60% at the rim. Fits perfectly in Pat Kelsey’s Rim & 3 offense. Impact player now, with NBA-level upside down the line.
11. F Jayden Quaintance
Transferring from: Arizona State | To: Kentucky
The scout: Defensive phenom with elite metrics (9.0+ block rate, 2.0+ steal rate) and growing offensive skill. Future lottery pick recovering from a torn ACL. Would be No. 1 on this list if fully healthy.
12. PG Ja’Kobi Gillespie
Transferring from: Maryland | To: Tennessee
The scout: Gillespie broke out as one of the nation’s top point guards, hitting 80+ 3-pointers with a 27% assist rate. He blends playmaking and scoring with elite off-the-dribble shooting and physical perimeter defense. Undersized but fearless, he impacts winning every night.
13. G Silas Demary Jr.
Transferring from: Georgia | To: UConn
The scout: A strong 6-5 combo guard who surged late in SEC play. He hit 37% from 3-point range, lived at the free-throw line, and defended at a high level. Demary’s size, shot improvement, and two-way tools make him an ideal backcourt piece.
14. PG Dedan Thomas Jr.
Transferring from: UNLV | To: LSU
The scout: One of the best pure passers in the country with elite feel and a 2.45 assist-to-turnover ratio. Creates advantages with vision, floaters, and a slick pull-up game. Undersized defensively, but LSU got the game-changing PG it needed.
15. F Bryce Hopkins
Transferring from: Providence | To: St. John’s
The scout: A bruising, skilled 6-7 forward who can dominate mismatches when healthy. He’s missed nearly two full seasons but has All-Big East potential if he regains form under Rick Pitino.
16. F Keyshawn Hall
Transferring from: UCF | To: Auburn
The scout: The Big 12’s leading scorer, Hall is a 6-7 bucket-getter who draws fouls, spaces the floor, and thrives in multiple roles. Defense is a question, but he’s a creative, physical scorer who can explode for 25 on any night.
17. G/F Tucker DeVries
Transferring from: West Virginia | To: Indiana
The scout: Former Missouri Valley Player of the Year with deep shooting range and underrated playmaking. One of the country’s most dangerous shooters, now reuniting with his dad at Indiana with All-Big Ten potential.
18. G Ryan Conwell
Transferring from: Xavier | To: Louisville
The scout: Conwell is a lethal catch-and-shoot and movement shooter with high efficiency and zero fear. Nearly all of his 52 makes last season were either at the rim or beyond the arc. He’s also adding some secondary playmaking to his game.
19. G Josh Dix
Transferring from: Iowa | To: Creighton
The scout: A true three-level scorer who shot 42% from deep, 47% on pull-ups, and 68% at the rim. Comfortable off the ball or running offense in a pinch. Smart, efficient, and plug-and-play across systems.
20. G Isaac McKneely
Transferring from: Virginia | To: Louisville
The scout: Elite off-screen shooter with 40 made 3-pointers off movement last season. A smart, physical team defender who won’t wow with steals but consistently stays in front. Valuable 3-and-D option with winning habits.
21. G/F Chad Baker-Mazara
Transferring from: Auburn
The scout: The fiery wing is a top-10 talent if he can stay composed. He’s become a real pick-and-roll asset, capable of whipping flashy dimes, draining floaters and canning stepback treys. Baker-Mazara can be a bit of an enigma and a rollercoaster, but the upside is clear as day.
22. G Joson Sanon
Transferring from: Arizona State | To: St. John’s
The scout: One of the best freshman shooters in the country, hitting 37% from 3-point range and 48% on pull-ups. Needs to dial in defensively, but he has NBA scoring traits and will get every chance to shine for Rick Pitino.
23. G Wesley Yates
Transferring from: USC | To: Washington
The scout: A three-level scorer with power and bounce, Yates emerged as one of USC’s best players under Eric Musselman. He hit 44% from deep on 123 attempts and punishes defenders when attacking off two feet. Tough to stop in the paint, either as a finisher or creator.
24. G/F Andrej Stojakovic
Transferring from: Cal
The scout: Stojakovic turned a major corner at Cal after a lost freshman season at Stanford. The 6-7 wing thrived as Mark Madsen’s alpha. Stojakovic was one of three players to average at least 17.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks, joining Duke’s Cooper Flagg and Auburn’s Johni Broome.
25. G Rodney Rice
Transferring from: Maryland
The scout: Bucket-getting guard who hit 80 3-pointers at 37% and thrives in the midrange. A smooth, versatile scorer who can create off the bounce and handle secondary playmaking duties. With a little more usage, he’s a 15 PPG guy.
26. C Moustapha Thiam
Transferring from: UCF
The scout: The 7-2 freshman was one of the top shot-blockers in the Big 12 from the jump, and he also knocked down 23 triples. Thiam has game-wrecker potential on both ends.
27. F/C Morez Johnson
Transferring from: Illinois | To: Michigan
The scout: Elite rebounder with relentless energy and excellent hands. The 6-9, 255-pound forward is a double-double machine in the making with switchable defensive tools and a motor that doesn’t stop.
28. C Henri Veesaar
Transferring from: Arizona | To: UNC
The scout: A 7-footer with a modern skill set, Veesaar added 35 pounds and flashed as a rim protector and floor spacer. Not a post-up guy yet, but his passing and stretch ability make him a potential breakout star.
29. F LeJuan Watts
Transferring from: Washington State | To: Texas Tech
The scout: Triple-double threat with elite passing vision and feel. Watts is a 6-6, 233-pound forward who creates from the mid-post, cuts well, and shoots 42% from 3-point range. With two years left, he’s a high-major steal.
30. G Xaivian Lee
Transferring from: Princeton
The scout: One of the top off-the-dribble shot-makers in the portal with multiple triple-doubles to his name. Lee has a slick handle, elite pace in P&R, and next-level floaters. A one-year rental for a contender.
31. C Pharrel Payne
Transferring from: Texas A&M | To: Maryland
The scout: An efficient, athletic big who led the Big Ten in FG% as a freshman. He blocks shots, runs the floor, and finishes strong. With expanded opportunity, he’s a breakout candidate for the Terps.
32. F Derrion Reid
Transferring from: Alabama
The scout: The former five-star freshman did not have the breakout year some expected at Alabama, partially due to multiple lingering injuries. The 6-8, 220-pound forward is still a coveted target because he can be one of the better defenders and rebounders in any high-major league next year. He’s shown promise as a jumbo playmaker who can be an awesome role player with room to grow into so much more.
33. G/F Cedric Coward
Transferring from: Washington State
The scout: The veteran 6-6 wing is a matchup nightmare with next-level potential. Coward is an outstanding bootyball option who also shot over 37% from 3-point range for his career. He’s big, physical and will guard his yard. A shoulder injury is the biggest red flag, but still, some of the biggest Blue Bloods are after him if the league doesn’t come calling.
34. G Xzayvier Brown
Transferring from: St. Joseph’s
The scout: Brown is a tremendous lead guard who can play a variety of roles. He’s a strong decision-maker in the pick-and-roll, and he puts a ton of pressure on the rim. Oh, and Brown also has a knockdown jumper. He can be a multi-year starter for a high-major, and Oklahoma is the heavy favorite to land his services.
35. F Michael Rataj
Transferring from: Oregon State | To: Baylor
The scout: A 6-9 forward who can shoot, pass, and drive. Rataj torched Gonzaga for 29 in one of his breakout games and gives Baylor a skilled, versatile frontcourt weapon to replace Norchad Omier.
36. G Jaland Lowe
Transferring from: Pittsburgh | To: Kentucky
The scout: One of the most prolific ball-screen scorers in the country with a deep bag and real playmaking chops. Needs more consistency from 3-point range, but with spacing and less usage, he could explode in Mark Pope’s offense.
37. C Owen Freeman
Transferring from: Iowa | To: Creighton
The scout: Polished post scorer who shot over 70% at the rim and has the frame to carve out space. He’s stepping in for Ryan Kalkbrenner at Creighton and could average 20 PPG in Greg McDermott’s offense if the perimeter game keeps progressing.
Greg McDermott eyeing exit from Creighton as High Point’s Alan Huss returns to staff as coach-in-waiting
David Cobb
38. G Nate Johnson
Transferring from: Akron
The scout: The Akron transfer only has one year of eligibility remaining, but the MAC Player of the Year will be a prized high-major target thanks to his blend of defense, playmaking and big-boy drives. Johnson isn’t a high-level shooter, but he’s good at everything else.
39. C Oscar Cluff
Transferring from: South Dakota State | To: Purdue
The scout: Cluff dominated the Summit League after a stint at Washington State. The 6-11 center is a skilled low-post scorer and strong rebounder. He joins a Purdue system that thrives on post-ups, but questions remain about his rim protection.
40. PG Nijel Pack
Transferring from: Miami | To: Oklahoma
The scout: Sixth-year sharpshooter who has made 313 3-pointers at a 40% clip. He’s a steady veteran with good decision-making and a defined identity as a spot-up sniper. Think LJ Cryer-type role: shoot it, don’t overthink it.
41. G Obi Agbim
Transferring from: Wyoming | To: Baylor
The scout: Confident scorer who plays like the best player on the floor. Agbim hit 49% on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers and is even better off the bounce. The 6-3 guard can get downhill or above the rim — a fearless shot-creator with real juice.
42. F KeShawn Murphy
Transferring from: Mississippi State | To: Auburn
The scout: A rising 6-10 forward with ball skills and versatility. Murphy operates best in short-roll situations, showing soft touch and sharp passing. He’s more finesse than brute force, but his offensive upside is real.
43. C Zvonimir Ivisic
Transferring from: Arkansas | To: Illinois
The scout: One of four 7-footers to hit 40+ 3-pointers last season, Ivisic is a 7-2 stretch five with pick-and-pop range and solid post moves. The talent is obvious, but decision-making and physicality must improve to unlock his NBA potential.
44. F Kam Williams
Transferring from: Tulane | To: Kentucky
The scout: Analytics favorite with deep range (40% from 3-point range on 141 attempts) and strong defensive metrics. He’s a low-usage, high-impact wing whose floor spacing and size could shine in Mark Pope’s system if he keeps hitting shots.
45. F Dailyn Swain
Transferring from: Xavier | To: Texas
The scout: A long, rangy wing who defends, slashes, and creates off the bounce. Swain isn’t a shooter but thrives in transition and as a secondary ball-mover. He’s a moldable piece who fits best alongside a stretch big.
46. G Pop Isaacs
Transferring from: Creighton
The scout: Scoring guard with a flamethrower mentality. Isaacs is recovering from hip surgery but, when healthy, can be a go-to option. Ideally paired with another playmaker so he can hunt buckets without running the show.
47. G Lamar Wilkerson
Transferring from: Sam Houston State | To: Indiana
The scout: Elite shooter with size who hit 43% on 226 3-pointers. Wilkerson thrives in off-ball actions but can create off the dribble, too. Defensive questions exist, but his shooting will earn him major minutes at a high level.
48. C Aday Mara
Transferring from: UCLA | Transferring to: Michigan
The scout: The 7-3 center held opponents to 52% at the rim and showed real growth last season. Once knocked for toughness, Mara improved as a rebounder and post scorer. His playmaking and feel are quietly elite for his size.
49. F Nick Davidson
Transferring from: Nevada | To: Clemson
The scout: A versatile 6-10 big who can space the floor (37% on 3-pointers), pass (18.4 assist rate), and rebound. Davidson is best as a small-ball 5 who plays smart, tough basketball. He’s a plug-and-play piece with real upside in the right system.
50. F Malik Reneau
Transferring from: Indiana | To: Miami
The scout: Reneau thrives inside but hasn’t stretched his range or offered rim protection. He’s a mismatch hunter who punishes switches and finishes through contact. Pair him with a floor-spacing big and he becomes a tough cover.
51. F Alvaro Folgueiras
Transferring from: Robert Morris
The scout: A 6-9 Spaniard with shooting touch (42% from 3) and vision (21.9 assist rate). Folgueiras played the 5 at RMU but projects more as a skilled 4 in high-major ball. He’s a crafty, tough, high-IQ forward who can be a fit maker.
52. PG Nait George
Transferring from: Georgia Tech | To: Syracuse
The scout: George is a pick-and-roll veteran who averaged 12.3 points and 6.5 assists with 60 made 3-pointers. He could thrive in a more structured offense with less burden. High-level feel and playmaking make him a two-year building block.
53. G KJ Lewis
Transferring from: Arizona | To: Georgetown
The scout: High-motor guard with physicality and force. Lewis isn’t always clean with his decision-making, but he lives at the line and shines in transition. Defense, energy and toughness will get him on the floor — and keep him there.
54. G Jaron Pierre
Transferring from: Jacksonville State | To: SMU
The scout: The C-USA Player of the Year averaged 21.6 PPG and can score it from all three levels. Pierre is physical, athletic, and dangerous off the dribble or catch. A high-volume, high-confidence wing who plays with an edge.
55. F Dillon Mitchell
Transferring from: Cincinnati
The scout: Mitchell is one of the best athletes in the country who plays way above the rim. He shot 66% on 2-pointers, including flushing 67 dunks for a Cincinnati club that was offensively, uh, challenged. The 6-8 forward is not a shooter and he only made 39% of his free throws last year, but the activity on the glass, defensive versatility and sharp feel as a cutter all make him a real high-major priority.
56. G/F AJ Storr
Transferring from: Kansas | To: Ole Miss
The scout: Storr is a talented scorer with three-level potential, but the rest of the package remains inconsistent. He’s not a natural playmaker or defender, but his physical tools are clear. A classic buy-low candidate with upside.

Adam Finkelstein
57. G/F Kennard Davis Jr.
Transferring from: Southern Illinois
The scout: A breakout sophomore who shot over 62% at the rim and drilled 61 3-pointers. Davis can handle or play off the ball and looks like a jumbo wing initiator in the making. He has the tools to become a two-way difference-maker.
58. G Jalil Bethea
Transferring from: Miami | To: Alabama
The scout: The former five-star had a quiet freshman year, but the skillset remains intriguing. Bethea is 6-5 with deep shooting range and shot-creation upside. Still raw, but there’s a pop coming if he lands in the right spot.
59. PG Elliot Cadeau
Transferring from: North Carolina | To: Michigan
The scout: Cadeau’s speed is elite, but decision-making and shooting need work. He plays with flair — sometimes to a fault — and struggled to defend. If Dusty May can reel him in, Cadeau could be a dynamic floor general.
60. PG Tre Donaldson
Transferring from: Michigan | To: Miami
The scout: Donaldson plays fast and scores in bunches. He shot 38% on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers and can get downhill in transition, but his in-between game and turnover issues have lingered. A rock-solid defender who could thrive as a complementary guard in Miami’s uptempo attack.
61. F Mouhamed Dioubate
Transferring from: Alabama | To: Kentucky
The scout: Dioubate is an elite-effort role player and one of the best per-minute rebounders in the SEC. He can guard multiple spots and thrives in transition. Shooting remains a weakness, but he’ll bring toughness and defensive versatility to Kentucky.
62. F Reed Bailey
Transferring from: Davidson | To: Indiana
The scout: Bailey scored in creative ways around the rim and was a top scorer in the A-10, but he offers little rim protection and opponents feasted inside when he was on the floor. A crafty, versatile forward who must prove he can defend at a high-major level.
63. F Tae Davis
Transferring from: Notre Dame | To: Oklahoma
The scout: Davis is a skilled 6-9 forward who thrives in isolations and gets to the line often. His offensive ceiling rises if the jumper becomes more consistent. A multi-level scoring threat with room to grow.
64. F Mackenzie Mgbako
Transferring from: Indiana
The scout: Former five-star and Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Mgbako can score inside and out but leans too heavily on the perimeter. When he balances both, he’s a versatile mismatch nightmare with high-end production.
65. PG Malachi Smith
Transferring from: Dayton | To: UConn
The scout: Smith’s passing is elite, and he shot 47% on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. But he struggles to finish at the rim. A pick-and-roll wizard who profiles similarly to Texas Tech’s Elijah Hawkins.
66. G Barrington Hargress
Transferring from: UC Riverside | To: Colorado
The scout: A crafty 6-foot guard with scoring chops and high assist rates. Hargress pressures the rim and shoots it well, but size will be a question mark at the high-major level. Still, he’s a pure hooper with the tools to translate.
67. G Abdi Bashir
Transferring from: Monmouth | To: Kansas State
The scout: Bashir is a 6-7 flamethrower with 127 3-pointers and a 10-triple game against Rutgers. But he’s light (160 pounds), struggles at the rim, and lacks defensive impact. A specialist with clear upside as a shooter.
68. F Kanon Catchings
Transferring from: BYU | To: Georgia
The scout: Catchings flashed shooting ability (35% from 3-point range) on limited minutes for BYU. At 6-9, his ceiling is intriguing if he can round out the rest of his game. Development will be key to unlocking his potential.
69. F Taylor Bol Bowen
Transferring from: Florida State | To: Alabama
The scout: Bol Bowen is a 6-10 forward who defends, blocks shots and hit 40% from deep. He’s a play-finisher with potential if he can learn to attack closeouts. Alabama will try to refine his raw offensive game.
70. G Nick Boyd
Transferring from: San Diego State | To: Wisconsin
The scout: A three-year NCAA Tournament contributor, Boyd can play on or off the ball and thrives in pick-and-rolls. The 6-3 vet pressures the rim, defends well and is a career 36% shooter from 3. A plug-and-play piece with real value.
71. G Quimari Peterson
Transferring from: East Tennessee State | To: Washington
The scout: The SoCon Player of the Year scored in double figures in all 29 games and shot 47% on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. A crafty guard with off-the-bounce wiggle and elite consistency.
72. G/F Treysen Eaglestaff
Transferring from: North Dakota
The scout: Eaglestaff carried a heavy shot-making load and still delivered big nights, including 40 against Alabama. The 6-6 wing has deep range and shot-creation ability, now stepping into a better ecosystem.
73. F Jacob Cofie
Transferring from: Virginia | To: USC
The scout: Cofie is a 6-10 forward with the tools to be a defensive anchor. He’s physically ready, skilled and plays hard — a high-upside frontcourt piece who fits any system.
74. G Jason Edwards
Transferring from: Vanderbilt | To: Providence
The scout: Edwards is a microwave scorer with range, floaters and foul-drawing savvy. Defense isn’t his strength, but he fills it up and brings instant juice to a Providence offense that needs it.
75. SG Rylan Griffen
Transferring from: Kansas
The scout: Griffen still has appeal as a floor-spacer who can defend and make secondary reads. He hit 40% from 3-point range at Alabama and could bounce back in a pace-and-space system that suits his game.
76. G/F Tre White
Transferring from: Illinois | To: Kansas
The scout: White keeps it simple and makes plays. He’s a strong cutter, good athlete and reliable midrange scorer. Not a sniper, but defenders must respect his shot. A glue guy with two-way value.
77. F Marquel Sutton
Transferring from: Omaha | To: LSU
The scout: Sutton dominated the Summit League with size and skill, but struggled vs. top competition. At LSU, he may be best as a transition threat and secondary scorer who feeds off Dedan Thomas-created chaos.
78. G Jeremiah Wilkinson
Transferring from: California | To: Georgia
The scout: One of the top freshmen in the ACC, Wilkinson averaged 15+ points and splashed 60 3-pointers. The athletic lefty has clean mechanics, bounce and long-term upside as a movement shooter.
79. F Kaleb Glenn
Transferring from: Florida Atlantic | To: Michigan State
The scout: Glenn shot 40% from deep and surged late as FAU’s most impactful player. A tough rebounder and smart cutter, he projects as a 3-and-D wing for Tom Izzo with Big Ten-ready toughness.
80. G Jayden Dawson
Transferring from: Loyola Chicago | To: Kansas
The scout: One of the best movement shooters in the portal, Dawson thrived running off handoffs and firing quickly from deep. At 6-4, he’s a strong-framed floor-spacer who’s deadly off the catch or bounce. Bill Self will love scheming him into space.
81. G Malik Moore
Transferring from: Montana | To: Xavier
The scout: A smooth operator with a buttery jumper, Moore hit 40% from 3 on nearly five attempts per game. He’s improved his handle and excels in the midrange, but doesn’t pressure the rim much.
82. G/F Gabriel Pozzato
Transferring from: Evansville | To: Xavier
The scout: Pozzato is a bouncy 6-7 wing with serious athletic tools. He dunked 27 times in 23 games and flashed pick-and-roll chops. The 3-point shot needs refinement, but his energy, tools and defensive upside should play at the high-major level.
83. F Corey Chest
Transferring from: LSU | To: Ole Miss
The scout: Chest is a high-motor, high-impact freshman who gobbled up rebounds and defended at a high level. His 18-board night vs. Alabama turned heads. He’s not a shooter, but his activity and toughness will earn him minutes.
84. G Jalen Jackson
Transferring from: Purdue Fort Wayne | To: Butler
The scout: Jackson is one of the best drivers in the portal with a legit first step and great body control. He’s a rugged defender and capable secondary creator who just needs shooters around him to fully unlock his game.
85. G/F Jaden Henley
Transferring from: UNLV | To: Grand Canyon
The scout: Henley has bounced around, but his trajectory is trending up. The 6-7 wing improved as a shooter and took on more playmaking duties late last season. He has positional size and growing versatility that GCU can mold.
86. G/F Isaiah Coleman
Transferring from: Seton Hall | To: Oklahoma State
The scout: Coleman is a 6-5 lead guard with three-level scoring ability and strong free-throw generation. His shot diet at Seton Hall was tough, but the tools are obvious. Steve Lutz will look to unlock his efficiency in a featured role.
87. F Bobby Durkin
Transferring from: Davidson | To: Minnesota
The scout: Durkin is a 6-7 sniper who attempted nearly eight 3-pointers per game and shot 35% doing it. Smart cutter, great feel. He’s a perfect fit for Niko Medved’s motion-heavy offense.
88. G Myles Rice
Transferring from: Indiana | To: Maryland
The scout: Rice didn’t meet expectations at Indiana, but his speed, pace and paint penetration still pop. At his best, he looks like a future star. At his worst, he disappears. Maryland’s job is to close that gap.
89. G Jaylin Sellers
Transferring from: UCF | To: Providence
The scout: Sellers went from unranked to All-MAC to one of the Big 12’s top free-throw generators. The 6-4 guard is a strong, aggressive scorer who can get hot from deep when taking good looks. Shot selection is a work in progress, but the burst and toughness translate.
90. C Ernest Udeh
Transferring from: TCU | To: Miami
The scout: Udeh doesn’t score much, but he’s an elite rebounder, rugged screen-setter and finishes at a 65%+ clip. The former McDonald’s All-American brings physicality, energy and rim-running presence to Miami’s frontcourt.
91. G Myles Colvin
Transferring from: Purdue | To: Wake Forest
The scout: Colvin showed flashes as a 3-and-D guard at Purdue and will have a bigger role at Wake Forest. At 6-5, he has the tools to be one of the ACC’s better perimeter defenders with untapped offensive upside.
92. G Jacari White
Transferring from: North Dakota State | To: Virginia
The scout: White brings three years of efficient shooting and Summit League defensive credibility to Ryan Odom’s backcourt. A 6-3 combo guard who guards and makes shots, he should play early in Charlottesville.
93. G Kyan Evans
Transferring from: Colorado State | To: North Carolina
The scout: Evans shot over 40% on both catch-and-shoot and off-the-dribble 3-pointers and was slicing up closeouts by March. He’s not a true point guard, but his jumper, energy and confidence should give UNC a bench jolt.
94. SF Rashad King
Transferring from: Northeastern | To: LSU
The scout: King’s size (6-6), vision and defensive versatility offer strong upside. He shot 35% on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers and can throw wraparound dimes, giving LSU a two-way wing who makes smart plays.
95. G Josh Pascarelli
Transferring from: Marist | To: Colorado State
The scout: Pascarelli drilled 81 3-pointers at a 39% clip and thrives off movement and handoffs. If he increases his free-throw rate and rim pressure, he could star in Colorado State’s system.
96. G/F Nick Dorn
Transferring from: Elon
The scout: Dorn is a 6-7 flamethrower who made noise with big shooting nights vs. UNC and Notre Dame. He plays best off-ball in transition-heavy systems. Is he a streaky shooter or a great one? That’s the swing factor.
97. F/C Cooper Schweiger
Transferring from: Valparaiso | To: Wake Forest
The scout: Schweiger is a stretch big with rim protection and strong offensive feel. A two-time All-MVC honoree, he’ll need to add strength, but his shooting and instincts are high-major-ready.
98. F Amani Hansberry
Transferring from: West Virginia | To: Virginia Tech
The scout: Hansberry blossomed as a physical four-man with mid-range touch and sneaky playmaking chops. He defends, passes from the post and was top 10 in Big 12 defensive rating last year.
99. C Malique Ewin
Transferring from: Florida State | To: Arkansas
The scout: Ewin isn’t flashy, but he’s skilled. He has soft touch in the post, can beat closeouts off the bounce, and passes well when doubled. He needs rim protection help next to him—but he’ll score when called on.
100. F Nana Owusu-Anane
Transferring from: Brown | To: SMU
The scout: Owusu-Anane missed last season with a labrum injury but brings elite hustle and defensive instincts. He racked up a steal or block in 28 of 30 games in 2023–24 and quietly expanded his game as a passing and post-up threat. If the shot holds and rust shakes off, he’ll help right away.
101. F Brenen Lorient
Transferring from: North Texas | To: West Virginia
The scout: Lorient is a bouncy, 6-9 forward who gets downhill, finishes through contact and offers real two-way juice. He shot over 65% at the rim, lived at the line and projects as a high-level 4-man defender in the Big 12. If the jumper develops, look out.
