Aday Mara on Friday became the fourth player to commit to Dusty May and the Michigan Wolverines out of the transfer portal. Michigan now has the No. 1-ranked class in 2025 and is clearly committed financially to capitalize on May’s debut season that saw the Wolverines reach the Sweet 16 and make a real run at the Big Ten regular season championship.
The UCLA transfer, originally from Spain, is every bit of 7-foot-2 and ranks as the No. 40 player in the transfer portal and the No. 7 center.
You may remember there was a lot of hype when Mara he committed to UCLA two seasons ago as a five-star prospect and part of a sterling international haul that did not live up to expectations. Mara returned to UCLA for his sophomore season and made strides but still did not find that initially-projected hype.
Neverthless, NBA scouts remain interested. Mara has massive size and long arms; he barely has to leave the floor to dunk the basketball.
I’m excited to see how Mara fits with May, who loves his big men.
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 6-9, 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. If he returns to school, he’s a First Team, All-League talent with NBA potential.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Isaac Trotter
4. 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.
5. F Darrion Williams
Transferring from: Texas Tech
The scout: Swiss army forward who can handle, post, shoot (38% from three), and pass. Tough, physical mismatch hunter who’s been a key cog on three straight NCAA teams. All-League upside.
6. 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 threes and drew tons of fouls off the bounce. He’s a mature, two-way difference-maker.
7. SG Ian Jackson
Transferring from: North Carolina
The scout: One of the most explosive freshmen in transition, shooting 39% from three. Can score in bunches and has an elite first step. Needs to refine decision-making but has star upside.
8. 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.
9. G Adrian Wooley
Transferring from: Kennesaw State | To: Louisville
The scout: One of the best freshmen in the country, shooting 41% from three and 60% at the rim. Fits perfectly in Pat Kelsey’s Rim & 3 offense. Impact player now, with NBA-level upside down the line.
10. 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.
11. 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+ threes 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.
12. 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 three, 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. G Isaac McKneely
Transferring from: Virginia | To: Louisville
The scout: Elite off-screen shooter with 40 made threes 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.
20. 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 three 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.
21. 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.
22. G Rodney Rice
Transferring from: Maryland
The scout: Bucket-getting guard who hit 80 threes 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.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. F LeJuan Watts
Transferring from: Washington State
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 three. With two years left, he’s a high-major steal.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. 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 three, but with spacing and less usage, he could explode in Mark Pope’s offense.
30. 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
31. 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.
32. PG Nijel Pack
Transferring from: Miami | To: Oklahoma
The scout: Sixth-year sharpshooter who has made 313 threes 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.
33. 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 threes 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.
34. F KeShawn Murphy
Transferring from: Mississippi State
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.
35. C Zvonimir Ivisic
Transferring from: Arkansas | To: Illinois
The scout: One of four 7-footers to hit 40+ threes last year, 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.
36. F Kam Williams
Transferring from: Tulane | To: Kentucky
The scout: Analytics favorite with deep range (40% from three 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.
37. 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.
38. 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.
39. G Lamar Wilkerson
Transferring from: Sam Houston State
The scout: Elite shooter with size who hit 43% on 226 threes. 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.
40. 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.
41. F Nick Davidson
Transferring from: Nevada | To: Clemson
The scout: A versatile 6-10 big who can space the floor (37% on 3s), 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.
42. 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.
43. 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.
44. 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 3s. He could thrive in a more structured offense with less burden. High-level feel and playmaking make him a two-year building block.
45. 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.
46. G Jaron Pierre
Transferring from: Jacksonville State
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.
47. G/F AJ Storr
Transferring from: Kansas
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
48. G/F Kennard Davis Jr.
Transferring from: Southern Illinois
The scout: A breakout sophomore who shot over 62% at the rim and drilled 61 threes. 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.
49. 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.
50. 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 command defenses. If Dusty May can reel him in, Cadeau could be a dynamic floor general.
51. PG Tre Donaldson
Transferring from: Michigan | To: Miami
The scout: Donaldson plays fast and scores in bunches. He shot 38% on catch-and-shoot 3s 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.
52. 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.
53. 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.
54. 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.
55. 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.
56. PG Malachi Smith
Transferring from: Dayton
The scout: Smith’s passing is elite, and he shot 47% on catch-and-shoot 3s. But he struggles to finish at the rim. A pick-and-roll wizard who profiles similarly to Texas Tech’s Elijah Hawkins.
57. G Barrington Hargress
Transferring from: UC Riverside
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.
58. G Abdi Bashir
Transferring from: Monmouth
The scout: Bashir is a 6-7 flamethrower with 127 threes 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.
59. F Kanon Catchings
Transferring from: BYU
The scout: Catchings flashed shooting ability (35% from 3) 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.
60. 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.
61. 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.
62. 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 3s. A crafty guard with off-the-bounce wiggle and elite consistency.
63. G/F Treysen Eaglestaff
Transferring from: North Dakota | To: South Carolina
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.
64. 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.
65. 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.
66. 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 at Alabama and could bounce back in a pace-and-space system that suits his game.
67. 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.
68. 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.
69. 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 threes. The athletic lefty has clean mechanics, bounce and long-term upside as a movement shooter.
70. F Kaleb Glenn
Transferring from: Florida Atlantic | To: Michigan State
The scout: Glenn shot 40% from 3 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.
71. 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.
72. G Malik Moore
Transferring from: Montana
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.
73. G/F Gabriel Pozzato
Transferring from: Evansville
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.
74. 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.
75. 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.
76. 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.
77. 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.
78. F Bobby Durkin
Transferring from: Davidson | To: Minnesota
The scout: Durkin is a 6-7 sniper who attempted nearly eight threes per game and shot 35% doing it. Smart cutter, great feel. He’s a perfect fit for Niko Medved’s motion-heavy offense.
79. 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.
80. 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.
81. 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.
82. 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.
83. 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.
84. 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 3s 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.
85. 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 3s and can throw wraparound dimes, giving LSU a two-way wing who makes smart plays.
86. G Josh Pascarelli
Transferring from: Marist | To: Colorado State
The scout: Pascarelli drilled 81 threes 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.
87. 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.
88. 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.
89. 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.
90. 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.
91. 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.
92. 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.
93. G/F Tyon Grant-Foster
Transferring from: Grand Canyon
The scout: Grant-Foster’s journey—from Kansas to cardiac arrest to WAC Player of the Year—is remarkable. A long, slashing wing with elite effort and defensive metrics, he’s not a shooter but can take over games with his energy and athleticism.
94. G Jasai Miles
Transferring from: North Florida
The scout: Miles brings legit size (6-6, 205) and a smooth scoring game. He hit 74 threes and thrives in transition but also flashed some creation upside. Coaches love him—and he’s got three-level scorer potential.
95. C Christoph Tilly
Transferring from: Santa Clara | To: Ohio State
The scout: A modern 7-footer, Tilly can shoot, rim protect and play the DHO game with deception. He’s skilled with the ball and hit 77% from the stripe. With added strength, he’s a weapon in the Big Ten.
96. G Izaiah Pasha
Transferring from: Delaware
The scout: Pasha lives in the paint—65% of his shots came at the rim. He gets downhill, draws fouls and stirs up defenses. If the jumper progresses, the 6-4 guard has all-conference upside at the right spot.
97. G Austin Swartz
Transferring from: Miami
The scout: Swartz was a top-75 recruit who flashed bucket-getting instincts despite Miami’s chaos. He’s strong, confident, and dangerous off screens. Shot selection will need tightening, but the tools are real.
98. F Elijah Saunders
Transferring from: Virginia
The scout: Saunders is a burly forward who spaces the floor and battles inside. He was near 40% from 3 before a cold snap and holds up well on D. He’s the kind of glue guy every high-major rotation needs.
99. C Matas Vokietaitis
Transferring from: Florida Atlantic | To: Texas
The scout: Vokietaitis is 7-foot-245 and just now figuring out how to use it. He’s a developing post scorer, rim deterrent and ferocious rebounder with upside galore. Still raw, but a force when locked in.
100. G Oziyah Sellers
Transferring from: Stanford
The scout: Sellers had a breakout junior year, shooting 40% from deep and adding downhill juice. He’s a steady secondary scorer who complements stars well and should help space the floor in a new system.
