2024 College Basketball Transfer Portal Player Rankings Top 95

95. Keyshawn Hall

Former Team: George Mason (Atlantic 10) | New Team: UCF (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: George Mason NA | UCF +25000

While Keyshawn Hall is far better than this ranking indicates, there have been plenty of rumors surrounding some drama Hall has stirred up at George Mason. Some sources have mentioned a serious disconnection due to Hall's desires and the rest of the team. At the same time, there were reports he was playing up his ankle injury toward the end of the season to prepare himself to enter the portal in the offseason. While these are just rumors, they follow a pattern of Hall being a shaky locker room presence back to his days at UNLV. Nevertheless, he's a fantastic talent who will undoubtedly be a strong backcourt addition for UCF next season. If Johnny Dawkins can get him to focus for an entire season, he could be a massive steal at this ranking.

2023-24 Stats: 16.6 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 APG

2. Oumar Ballo

Former Team: Arizona (Pac-12) | New Team: Indiana (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Arizona +2000 | Indiana +6000

While Ballo's numbers took a slight step back in 2023-24, he remains an elite paint presence in the sport who can start for any program in the country. A 64.6 percent career shooter from the floor, his efficiency around the rim, and some solid rebounding and defense make him a hot commodity for programs seeking a reliable interior option. His key areas that require improvement are his motor and free-throw shooting. If he can get himself to 30 or more minutes per game and improve upon his woeful 49.5 percent from the charity stripe last season, he'd be going a long way to bring his game to a borderline All-American level. He should be a sublime fit within Mike Woodson's system, one that has produced some solid NBA talent at the five in recent seasons.

2023-24 Stats: 12.9 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 0.8 APG

3. Tucker DeVries

Former Team: Drake (Missouri Valley) | New Team: West Virginia (Big 12)

National Championship Odds:  Drake NA | West Virginia +10000

Tucker DeVries was never really available in the portal. That's because he's simply following his father, Darian, to his new gig in Morgantown as the head coach at West Virginia. The father-son duo terrorized the Missouri Valley over the past two seasons. If you want to learn about DeVries's game, check out his ridiculous 39-point performance in a triple-overtime win over UIC on February 28th. That's the one-man wrecking crew he will bring to the Mountaineers next season.

2023-24 Stats: 21.6 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 3.7 APG

4. AJ Storr

Former Team: Wisconsin (Big Ten) | New Team: Kansas

National Championship Odds: Wisconsin +5000 | Kansas +1100

AJ Storr is set to join the Kansas Jayhawks for the 2024-25 season, marking his transfer to a third institution in as many years. While this frequent movement might raise eyebrows among talent scouts, Storr's impressive development during his sophomore year at Wisconsin, following an unremarkable start at St. John's, cannot be ignored. Demonstrating capability in scoring from anywhere on the court, Storr could elevate his impact by broadening his contributions beyond scoring. Despite logging 28.8 minutes on the court per game with the Badgers, his averages fell below four rebounds and one assist. We'll see if Bill Self can develop him into an even better prospect at Kansas.

2023-24 Stats: 17.8 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 0.9 APG

2023-24 Stats: 17.8 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 0.9 APG

5. Johnell Davis

Former Team: Florida Atlantic (American) | New Team: Arkansas (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Florida Atlantic +30000 | Arkansas +3500

Johnell Davis demonstrated undeniable high-major talent, size, and skill during last year's journey to the Final Four, positioning him as possibly the top talent at the mid-major level looking ahead to the next season. Wherever he transfers, he's slated to be an instant starter. The most notable development in his game has been his three-point shooting.

The Indiana native impressively improved his accuracy from beyond the arc, boosting his three-point shooting percentage from 23 percent in his freshman year to an outstanding 42 percent by his senior season. John Calipari has landed Davis's talents at Arkansas, and he's expected to be a centerpiece of their roster in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 18.2 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.9 APG

6. Great Osobor

Former Team: Utah State (Mountain West) | New Team: Washington (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Utah State +30000 | Washington +10000

For the Utah State team that clinched the Mountain West regular season title with a revamped lineup, Great Osobor emerged as a dominant force in the paint. Transitioning from a rotational role at Montana State in the 2022-23 season, this England-born player elevated his game upon moving to a more competitive environment, ultimately earning the Mountain West Player of the Year accolade due to his enhanced performance. Osobor is poised to ascend further as he follows head coach Danny Sprinkle to Washington in hopes of continuing his upward trajectory in college basketball.

7. Kadary Richmond

Former Team: Seton Hall (Big East) | New Team: St. John's (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Seton Hall +12000 | St. John's +4500

2023-24 Stats: 15.7 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 5.1 APG

8. Myles Rice

Former Team: Washington State (Pac 12) | New Team: Indiana (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Washington State +30000 | Indiana +6500

Just a year after triumphing over Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Myles Rice wrote a remarkable chapter in his life by leading Washington State to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008. As a point guard known for his ingenuity and versatility, Rice excels in facilitating play for his teammates and stepping up to score when the situation demands. With three years of eligibility left, Rice has the time available to him to become a serious star in Bloomington with the Hoosiers.

2023-24 Stats: 14.8 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 3.8 APG

9. JT Toppin

Former Team: New Mexico (Mountain West) | New Team: Texas Tech (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: New Mexico +20000 | Texas Tech +550

JT Toppin was one of the most productive freshmen in the country last season as a legitimate contributor for an NCAA Tournament team in his debut collegiate season. The diaper dandy started 35 games in 2023-24, being a necessary paint presence on a Lobos roster that was quite lopsided with guard talent. He'll now look for a chance to thrive somewhere he can be a bit more of the main piece rather than a complementary option like he was in Albuquerque. The one weak spot here is free-throw shooting: 56.5 percent from the charity stripe will have to change if he wants to see meaningful minutes at the high-major level. Expect Grant McCasland to utilize his full skillset in a big way down in Lubbock in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 12.4 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 0.6 APG

10. Dre Davis

Former Team: Seton Hall (Big East) | New Team: Ole Miss (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Seton Hall +10000 | Ole Miss +10000

Dre Davis will be off to his third program for his final year of eligibility after spending two years each at Louisville and Seton Hall. He blossomed into a lethal scorer and centerpiece of an offense with the Pirates. Despite being the joint leading scorer of a Big East team, he could still put up a 49/35/84 shooting split, doubling his points per game average from his freshman year. At 6'5" and can score at all three levels, Davis will undoubtedly be a key cog to Ole Miss's squad next season.

2023-24 Stats: 15.0 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.6 APG

11. Tramon Mark

Former Team: Arkansas (SEC) | New Team: Texas (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Arkansas +3500 | Texas +4000

Mark is undoubtedly one of the best scorers in college basketball. Whether it's putting his head down and getting to the rim, pulling up at the elbow, or knocking it down from beyond the arc, Mark finds a way to get his buckets and make defenders pay for being unable to keep up with him. He now joins Rodney Terry at Texas in what is a put-up or shut-up year for his tenure. There are few guards in the entire country that we would want on our side with such high stakes ahead in Austin.

2023-24 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.8 APG

12. Jeremy Roach

Former Team: Duke (ACC) | New Team: Baylor (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Duke +1100 | Baylor +2500

Roach's entry into the portal is one of the more surprising moves we have seen this offseason. Duke's captain and the nucleus of the team for the past few seasons, it's not often that someone who started over 100 games for the Blue Devils becomes available to the general public. The Virginia native had his best shooting season in his most recent, knocking down 42.9 percent of his triples and averaging a career-high 14.0 points per game. There are few with the combination of veteran leadership and overall skill like Roach, and it will go a long way with plenty of backcourt turnover at Baylor this offseason.

2023-24 Stats: 14.0 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 3.3 APG

13. Rylan Griffen

Former Team: Alabama (SEC) | New Team: Kansas (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Alabama +1600 | Kansas +1000

It's not often that a vital piece of a Final Four squad finds his way into the transfer portal. It's what makes Rylan Griffen such an intriguing player within the portal as someone who knows what it takes to make a deep run in March and play on the sport's biggest stage. A classic Alabama guard, Griffen utilized his length, finishing, and shooting to become an effective scorer in his breakout sophomore season. If anyone can maximize his potential, it would be Bill Self and Kansas, his home for the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 Stats: 11.2 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 1.9 APG

14. Aden Holloway

Former Team: Auburn (SEC) | New Team: Alabama (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Auburn +4000 | Alabama +1600

While Holloway's stats are far from overwhelming here, his three remaining years of eligibility and brief flashes are what get him so high on our list. His vision, composure, and occasional showings of some serious scoring potential should have the Alabama faithful excited for what Holloway could become a year or two down the road. His area of improvement will need to come in his shot selection. The freshman shot just 31.8 percent from the field in 2023-24.

2023-24 Stats: 7.3 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 2.7 APG

15. Pop Isaacs

Former Team: Texas Tech (Big 12) | New Team: Creighton (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Texas Tech +5500 | Creighton +4500

Despite a shooting efficiency of only 34 percent from the field during the 2023-24 season, Pop Isaacs played a pivotal role as the main playmaker for a Big 12 team, leading them in scoring to the NCAA Tournament. His defensive skills, potential for further development, experience, and the years of eligibility he still has left position him as a sought-after player in this offseason's transfer market. With the return of Steven Ashworth to the Bluejays, Isaacs joins him in what should be one of the top backcourt in the Big East.

2023-24 Stats: 15.8 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 3.5 APG

16. Vladislav Goldin

Former Team: Florida Atlantic (American) | New Team: Michigan (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Florida Atlantic +30000 | Michigan +4500

Over the last three seasons, Vladislav Goldin has been the cornerstone in the paint for Florida Atlantic, showing consistent improvement each year. Despite a freshman year at Texas Tech where playing time was scarce, his development suggests he's poised to make a return to the high-major scene, equipped with the skills necessary to compete. With his final year of eligibility coming up, it only made sense to see him reunite with Dusty May at Michigan as they go for one last dance.

2023-24 Stats: 15.7 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 0.7 APG

17. Ja'Kobi Gillespie

Former Team: Belmont (Missouri Valley) | New Team: Maryland (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Belmont NA | Maryland +6000

Ja'Kobi Gillespie's value to Belmont was easy to understand when he was forced to sit out eight games in January for a wrist injury. The Bruins struggled mightily, going 3-5 in the stretch he was absent. Upon his return, the team went 8-3 from the start of February to the end of the season, playing as the best team in the Missouri Valley. He'll head to Maryland, where he should command the backcourt after the graduation of Jahmir Young.

2023-24 Stats: 17.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 4.2 APG

18. Malik Mack

Former Team: Harvard (Ivy) | New Team: Georgetown (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Harvard NA | Georgetown +20000

Considering the track record of Ivy League transfers in recent times, our optimism about ranking Malik Mack  any higher is tempered. Last season, transfers like Paxson Wojcik, Jordan Dingle, and Chris Ledlum faced challenges adapting to new leagues. Despite this, Mack's undeniable ability to consistently find his way to the basket, showcasing a skill not often seen in a freshman, cannot be overlooked. His youth and remaining eligibility are significant assets, positioning him as a coveted recruit for Georgetown this upcoming season.

2023-24 Stats: 17.2 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 4.8 APG

19. Coleman Hawkins

Former Team: Illinois (Big Ten) | New Team: Kansas State (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Illinois +8000 | Kansas State +6500

Despite Coleman Hawkins having declared for the NBA Draft earlier this offseason, he has chosen to return to the collegiate ranks for one more season. Kansas State struck gold yet again in the portal and landed Hawkins for 2024-25, a massive boost to their roster ahead of next season. Hawkins is as versatile as it gets and did everything he could to help the Illini win. He can score out of the post and from outside, rebound and defend effectively with his length, and has solid playmaking. His vibrant personality and trolling tweets undoubtedly make opponents hate him, and his fans love him.

2023-24 Stats: 12.1 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.7 APG

20. Danny Wolf

Former Team: Yale (Ivy) | New Team: Michigan (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Yale +50000 | Michigan +4500

Danny Wolf had an impressive sophomore season, showcasing his dominance in the paint within the Ivy League. As a seven-footer, his exceptional quickness, touch, and presence in the post were central to the offense. I was able to catch a Yale vs. Princeton matchup back in January where Wolf was able to toy with the undersized Tigers lineup for most of the game, taking players off the bounce or mauling them in the post. Michigan made no bones about it by conducting an in-house visit early in Wolf's recruiting process, which led to landing the big man's commitment.

2023-24 Stats: 17.2 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 4.8 APG

21. PJ Haggerty

Former Team: Tulsa (American) | New Team: Memphis (American)

National Championship Odds: Tulsa NA | Memphis +6500

PJ Haggerty was one of the more underrated talents in the country last season. Not only was he able to score with volume by pouring in 21.2 points per game, but he also maintained the ability to shoot 49.3 percent from the floor. His three-point shooting will need some work as he shot just 28.9 percent from beyond the arc, but his scoring prowess, combined with his solid ability to rebound, make him a luxurious piece for the Memphis Tigers in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 21.2 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.8 APG

22. Khalif Battle

Former Team: Arkansas (SEC) | New Team: St. John's (Big East) 

National Championship Odds: Arkansas +3500 | St. John's +4500

Battle may be the best hypothetical sixth man currently in the transfer portal. Starting just 32 times across his 101-game collegiate career, he has been a catalyst off the bench for Temple and most recently, Arkansas, a pure scorer who has a ridiculously high single-game scoring ceiling. Three games of 30 or more points came in 2023-24, including a 42-point outburst against Missouri where he knocked down 11-of-15 from the floor, six triples, and all 14 of his free throws. Go into battle with Battle, and you're sure to get a lethal scoring addition to your backcourt that will know his role within the rotation from the get-go.

2023-24 Stats: 14.8 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1.3 APG

23. Deivon Smith

Former Team: Utah (Big 12) | New Team: St. John's (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Utah +15000 | St. John's +4500

24. Norchad Omier

2023-24 Stats: 17.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 1.2 APG

25. Cade Tyson

Former Team: Belmont (Missouri Valley) | New Team: North Carolina (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Belmont NA | North Carolina +1600

Already our second Belmont player on the list, Cade Tyson was an efficiency monster for the Bruins in his sophomore season. The 6'7" forward had 49/47/86 shooting splits and wrapped up the season 15th nationally in three-point percentage while still taking a healthy 172 attempts. Loads of teams lined up for his scoring and size, but North Carolina ended up the winner in landing his talents.

2023-24 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.6 APG

26. Kanaan Carlyle

Former Team: Stanford (Pac-12) | New Team: TBD

National Championship Odds: Stanford +30000

Despite a modest shooting accuracy of 38.6% from the field during his freshman year, Kanaan Carlyle demonstrated glimpses of his high potential and what he's capable of achieving. His standout performance came during the season's most significant victory against Arizona on New Year's Eve, where he scored an impressive 28 points. Should Carlyle manage to harness this level of performance more regularly at his new team, he stands out as potentially this year's most underrated transfer.

2023-24 Stats: 11.5 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 2.7 APG

27. Zeke Mayo

Former Team: South Dakota State (Summit) | New Team: Kansas (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: South Dakota State NA | Kansas +1200

Zeke Mayo is a prolific three-level scorer who gave the Summit League buckets all season. He proved his ability to play against high-major competition with a 25-point performance against Wichita State in December and a solid 19-point outing against Iowa State in the NCAA Tournament. He could flourish at Kansas, as we've seen some Summit talents flourish after an up-transfer, like Texas's Max Abmas and Alabama's Grant Nelson.

2023-24 Stats: 18.8 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 3 APG

28. Jonas Aidoo

Former Team: Tennessee (SEC) | New Team: TBD

National Championship Odds: Tennessee +3500

What a junior season for Jonas Aidoo. Starting just nine games in his first two seasons at Tennessee, the 6'11" center stuck around with the Vols and made the most of his junior season by starting all 36 games and averaging 11.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He was named Second Team All-SEC and was head coach Rick Barnes's most reliable paint presence. He'll want to work on his free-throw shooting this offseason to help make him a serious scoring threat. 62.6 percent was a far cry from the 77.8 percent he accrued in his first two seasons in Knoxville.

2023-24 Stats: 11.4 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 1.0 APG

29. Clifford Omoruyi

Former Team: Rutgers (Big Ten) | New Team: Alabama (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Rutgers +3000 | Alabama +1500

Despite Cliff Omoruyi not showing significant progress following an impressive sophomore season, optimism remains high regarding his contribution in his fifth year of eligibility. His performance came within one of the least effective offenses among high-major programs, yet Omoruyi's experience and leadership qualities are exactly what teams look for. Additionally, his defensive prowess is notable; he stood as the third-best rim protector in the nation, with a block rate of 12.7 percent last year.

2023-24 Stats: 10.4 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 0.5 APG

30. Chris Youngblood

Former Team: South Florida (American) | New Team: Alabama (SEC)

National Championship Odds: South Florida +20000 | Alabama +1600

Not only does Chris Youngblood possess a cool name, but he's also a cool player. His jump shot is as buttery as it gets, and he gets his buckets every which way from his shooting motion. Off the dribble or off the catch, Youngblood has shot 41.6 percent from beyond the arc over the past two seasons across 361 attempts. Both a top scorer and overall leader on the floor at Kennesaw State and South Florida, we wouldn't be surprised to see Youngblood fill a similar role with the Crimson Tide.

2023-24 Stats: 15.3 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 2.1 APG

31. Trazarien White

Former Team: UNC Wilmington (CAA) | New Team: TCU (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: UNC Wilmington NA | TCU +10000

Trazarien White stood out as one of the top scorers at the mid-major level in the 2023-24 season, averaging 19.8 points per game and nearly shooting 50 percent from the field. He also demonstrated his ability to perform against top-tier competition, scoring 27 points in a road victory over Kentucky at Rupp Arena in December.

A key element of White's gameplay is his exceptional ability to draw fouls. As a rising senior, he ranked 11th nationally in fouls drawn per 40 minutes, contributing significantly to his scoring with an average of 5.5 points per game from the free-throw line. At 6'7", his physical style as a guard and his readiness to engage with defenders make him well-suited for the transition to the Big 12 as he joins TCU.

2023-24 Stats: 19.8 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.6 APG

32. Desmond Claude

Former Team: Xavier (Big East) | New Team: USC (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Xavier +6000 | USC +8000

Claude came out of nowhere on Big East radars in 2023-24. After averaging short of five points per game as a rotational piece off Sean Miller's bench, he exploded and became one of the team's three backcourt centerpieces by scoring 16.6 points per outing. His finishing around the rim combined with his solid pull-up game and touch from mid-range makes him a nightmare to defend when he gets downhill, as he's also an underrated playmaker. The real crutch in Claude's game is his inability to score from distance. It makes him quite one-dimensional and will be exploitable in his remaining collegiate seasons if he doesn't become at least respectable from beyond the arc going forward.

2023-24 Stats: 16.6 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 3.2 APG

33. Dug McDaniel

Former Team: Michigan (Big Ten) | New Team: Kansas State (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Michigan +5000 | Kansas State +8000

Dug McDaniel provided somewhat of a bright spot in what was a disastrous season for Michigan in 2023-24 that led to head coach Juwan Howard's firing. The sophomore was the team's leading scorer but only did so on 41 percent shooting from the field. He'll surely need to improve his efficiency if he wants to withstand a prominent role at his next program, and his lack of size at 5'11" is also a slight concern.

2023-24 Stats: 16.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 4.7 APG

34. Sean Pedulla

Former Team: Virginia Tech (ACC) | New Team: Ole Miss (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Virginia Tech +15000 | Ole Miss +8000

Ole Miss fans, get excited. Sean Pedulla is a sneaky find on this list as a lesser-known player who still managed to average 15 points per game across the past two seasons with an ACC program. He also led the team in assists per game, providing himself as the nucleus for the Hokies all season long. His 33/10/4 performance on 13-for-23 from the floor against Miami back in January is a great place to start to get an idea of the ceiling Pedulla possesses.

2023-24 Stats: 16.4 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 4.6 APG

35. Chaz Lanier

Former Team: North Florida (Atlantic Sun) | New Team: Tennessee (SEC)

National Championship Odds: North Florida NA | Tennessee +3500

Chaz Lanier had one of the most remarkable outbursts we have seen at the Division I level in some time. After averaging 4.2 points in 72 games across three seasons at North Florida, the senior burst onto the scene in 2023-24 by averaging 19.7 points per contest, the second-highest in the conference. His finishing around the rim is the best NIL can buy out of the portal, and he's also an incredible three-point shooter, knocking down 44 percent across 241 attempts. We are incredibly high on Lanier's chances to thrive at Tennessee, given his scoring prowess at the two most important spots on the court: around the rim and beyond the arc.

2023-24 Stats: 19.7 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.8 APG

36. Kerr Kriisa

Former Team: West Virginia (Big 12) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: West Virginia +10000 | Kentucky +4000

Kerr Kriisa's prospects seemed bright when he became part of the Mountaineers alongside a host of talented transfers. However, the departure of Bob Huggins led to a significant shift, with much of the talent leaving, resulting in West Virginia ending up at the bottom of the Big 12 for the 2023-24 season. Kriisa is set to transfer once more, bringing with him exceptional court vision to his next team. Although his temper has raised concerns in the past, it appeared to have moderated during his tenure in Morgantown. We'll see if it continues into his time in Lexington with the Wildcats.

2023-24 Stats: 11.0 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 4.7 APG

37. Javian McCollum

Former Team: Oklahoma (Big 12) | New Team: Georgia Tech (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Oklahoma +10000 | Georgia Tech +10000

Javian McCollum's transition from Siena to Oklahoma was seamless, where he emerged as the top scorer for the Sooners in the recent season. He proved his mettle under pressure with a decisive three-pointer to secure a win against Oklahoma State in the Bedlam rivalry, highlighting his clutch performance. McCollum, an experienced and adaptable guard, is poised to add value to his future team. However, enhancing his shooting efficiency is crucial for elevating his performance. While at the MAAC, his productivity demanded a 40 percent shooting accuracy from the field. McCollum announced on April 16 that he will be spending his final season at Georgia Tech.

2023-24 Stats: 13.3 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 3.4 APG

38. Mark Mitchell

Former Team: Duke (ACC) | New Team: Missouri (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Duke +1100 | Missouri +10000

Mark Mitchell, a former five-star recruit, didn't quite make the sophomore leap most had expected out of him. He remained a solid starter for the Blue Devils, but it’s difficult to know whether his limited ceiling was due to systemic or simply underachieving. The arrival of top overall recruit Cooper Flagg may be part of what’s pushing Mitchell out the door. Regardless, he’ll seek a fresh start elsewhere, and he’s sure to have loads of suitors based on his high school pedigree alone. He showed some ability to stroke it from deep his freshman year, but that regressed a bit in 2023-24. We’ll see if he can get that back next year in his new home at Missouri.

2023-24 Stats: 11.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 1.1 APG

39. Javon Small

Former Team: Oklahoma State (Big 12) | New Team: West Virginia (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Washington State +30000 | West Virginia +10000

Javon Small emerged as a standout player for the Cowboys in the 2023-24 season, leading the team in scoring. He successfully transitioned from East Carolina in the American Athletic Conference to the challenging Big 12 and improved his shooting percentages. Small consistently appears in control on the court and excels as a combo guard, proficient both with and without the ball. However, to elevate his game further, he needs to improve his ball-handling; his ratio of 127 assists to 97 turnovers is less than ideal for a backcourt player, especially since his scoring efficiency doesn't fully offset these turnovers.

2023-24 Stats: 15.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 4.1 APG

40. A.J. Hoggard

Former Team: Michigan State (Big Ten) | New Team: Vanderbilt (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Michigan State +6500 | Vanderbilt +15000

2023-24 Stats: 10.7 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 5.2 APG

41. Ryan Conwell

Former Team: Indiana State (MVC) | New Team: Xavier (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Indiana State NA | Xavier +6000

Conwell proved what the good side of the transfer portal can provide in 2023-24. After averaging just 5.1 points as a rotational piece and occasional starter for South Florida in his freshman campaign, his move to Indiana State proved to be the optimal decision for him. The sophomore averaged 16.6 points per game for the Sycamores, finishing second in scoring on one of the best mid-major teams in the nation. He was elite off the pick-and-roll at Indiana State and should be utilized in that role at a similar capacity at Xavier under head coach Sean Miller. If he can find that similar leap in production he saw last offseason, it could be a massive season loading for Conwell in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 16.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.5 APG

42. Koby Brea

Former Team: Dayton (Atlantic 10) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Dayton +15000 | Kentucky +4000

Brea is the best shooter in the transfer portal and perhaps in the entire country. He absolutely scorched the net from deep in 2023-24, shooting 49.8 percent from three with a healthy volume as well, eclipsing 200 triples in 33 appearances. He's got a great-looking jumper, and at 6'6", he shouldn't find too much of an issue getting his shot off against higher-level defenders at the Power 6 level. Just as Dayton did this past season, Brea will be surrounded by other capable scorers and shooters at Kentucky who will pull some attention away from him to get open looks. Brea is one of four incoming transfers who shot 37 percent or better from beyond the arc last season.

2023-24 Stats: 11.1 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.2 APG

43. Michael Ajayi

Former Team: Pepperdine (West Coast) | New Team: Gonzaga (West Coast)

National Championship Odds: Pepperdine NA | Gonzaga +3000

Michael Ajayi was one of the few bright spots for Pepperdine in an otherwise disastrous season. The junior poured in 17.2 points per game and shot a scorching 47 percent from beyond the arc, something that likely had Gonzaga drooling given his length at 6’7”. He should be a starter right away for the Bulldogs who will look to retool after a strong finish to the season where they were able to reach the second weekend for a ninth straight season.

2023-24 Stats: 17.2 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 1.9 APG

44. Brandon Garrison

Former Team: Oklahoma State (Big 12) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Oklahoma State +20000 | Kentucky +4000

This ranking leans heavily on potential rather than past performance. Despite a less-than-stellar freshman season in Stillwater, Brandon Garrison's high school accolade as a top-50 recruit is a significant factor in this assessment. It's not uncommon for freshmen to face challenges initially, only to improve substantially after transferring. Hence, there's optimism that Garrison, hailing from Oklahoma, will follow a similar trajectory and find success in his next collegiate chapter at Kentucky.

2023-24 Stats: 7.5 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.5 APG

45. Otega Oweh

Former Team: Oklahoma (Big 12) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Oklahoma  +10000 | Kentucky +4000

Otega Oweh experienced a remarkable improvement in his sophomore year, significantly increasing his scoring by more than double. This surge in performance is primarily due to his enhanced three-point shooting abilities. Originating from New Jersey, Oweh's freshman year saw him making only one out of four attempts from the three-point line, which dramatically improved to 20-for-53 in the 2023-24 season. While three-point shooting may not be the pinnacle of his skillset, it compelled defenses to acknowledge him as a versatile scorer, thereby facilitating his dribble drive play. Possessing two more years of eligibility and having garnered Big 12 experience, Oweh will bring experience and long-term available to Lexington this season.

2023-24 Stats: 11.4 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.0 APG

46. JP Pegues

Former Team: Furman (Southern) | New Team: Auburn

National Championship Odds: Furman NA | Auburn +3000

JP Pegues is best known for his clutch performance against Virginia in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, yet his contributions throughout the season extend far beyond that moment. As a junior guard, he impressively raised his scoring average to 18.4 points per game from 11.9 the previous year. Moreover, he enhanced his shooting efficiency despite assuming a larger role on his team. This improvement signals great potential for Pegues to advance to a high-major level, likely making him a sought-after player in the offseason.

2023-24 Stats: 18.4 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 4.8 APG

47. Tony Perkins

Former Team: Iowa (Big Ten) | New Team: Missouri (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Iowa +10000 | Missouri +10000

Despite being somewhat overlooked because of Iowa's less successful season, Tony Perkins has proven himself to be a formidable player. Known for his aggressive, physical style, Perkins thrives as a guard who doesn't shy away from contact and excels in finishing at the rim. While his jump shot and three-point shooting, at 29.9 percent in 2023, could benefit from improvement, his physicality and drive suggest he's poised to significantly contribute in his penultimate year of college basketball at Missouri.

2023-24 Stats: 14.0 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 4.6 APG

48. Meechie Johnson

Former Team: South Carolina (SEC) | New Team: Ohio State (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: South Carolina +15000 | Ohio State +5500

Meechie Johnson was the ringleader of South Carolina's incredible overachieving season where the Gamecocks finished with their highest winning percentage in SEC play since 1997. While he's got some awesome performances on his resumé, consistency is still an area of improvement for the Cleveland native. He failed to crack double-digits in ten of his final 19 games last season. If he can improve on his scoring output and become a constant alpha in 2024-25, he has All-American potential. We'll see if he lives up those potential expectations in his return to Ohio State next season.

2023-24 Stats: 14.1 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 2.9 APG

49. Alijah Martin

Former Team: Florida Atlantic (American) | New Team: Florida (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Florida Atlantic +30000 | Florida +5000

A key piece to the successful FAU teams of the past two seasons, Martin's build is the first thing most will notice about him. With broad shoulders and an overall athletic frame, Martin is a high-flyer who can also utilize his strength to finish at the rim. He was a wonderful complementary piece to teammate and fellow transferee Johnell Davis in the backcourt, and it will be interesting to see if Martin can thrive at Florida as a potential alpha.

2023-24 Stats: 13.1 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.6 APG

50. Trey Townsend

Former Team: Oakland (Horizon) | New Team: Arizona (Pac-12)

National Championship Odds: Oakland +50000 | Arizona +3000

While Jack Gohlke may have stolen the spotlight for Oakland at the NCAA Tournament, those who watched the Golden Grizzlies all year know that Trey Townsend is the straw that stirs the drink. The rising senior scored 38 points in their Horizon League Championship game against Milwaukee. He boasts a solid frame at 6'6", 212 lbs., and isn't afraid to utilize it amongst the trees. His post-up game is solid, and he's also a capable three-point shooter, knocking down 12-of-32 triples in 2023-24. With 129 games of experience under his belt at Oakland, Townsend hasn't seen much. He'll bring a rare mixture of a veteran presence, legitimate scoring pop, and skill to Arizona in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 17.3 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 3.1 APG

51. Aidan Mahaney

Former Team: Saint Mary's (West Coast) | New Team: UConn (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Saint Mary's +10000 | UConn +1100

Aidan Mahaney took college basketball by storm in 2022-23, suddenly becoming the alpha for a talented Saint Mary's team as a freshman. His impressive rookie campaign finished with a bit of a whimper, putting up double-digits just once in the final six games of the season, including just nine points across two NCAA Tournament games. The bar was set high heading into his sophomore season, where he didn't show much improvement and actually regressed on his shooting splits. There's no doubt Mahaney is an elite talent, but he needed to find the right fit to succeed and perhaps take a step forward after playing in a system as meticulous as Randy Bennett's for a pair of seasons. We believe he did just that in heading cross-country to play for Dan Hurley and the back-to-back national champions.

2023-24 Stats: 13.9 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.6 APG

52. Aaron Bradshaw

Former Team: Kentucky (SEC) | New Team: Ohio State (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Kentucky +4000 | Ohio State +5500

It was a flat-out disappointing season for Bradshaw at Kentucky, a former McDonald's All-American who simply failed to live up to the hype in Lexington. Surgery on a broken foot already got things off to a slow start, forcing him to miss the first seven games of the season for the Wildcats. All of that lost time likely cost him valuable learning of the collegiate level, and it made for a tough watch at times for the seven-footer. We're not giving up on him yet and are looking forward to seeing if he can live up to his high school potential in his sophomore season at Ohio State.

2023-24 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.8 APG

53. Chucky Hepburn

Former Team: Wisconsin (Big Ten) | New Team: TBD

National Championship Odds: Wisconsin +8000

With more firepower on the Badger roster in 2023-24, it was clear that Chucky Hepburn took a slight step back in his aggressiveness for his junior season at Wisconsin. The point guard took nearly four fewer field goal attempts per game last season compared to 2022-23 while posting his highest assists total across his career in Madison. While most would see the dip in scoring and immediately think that Hepburn had an off-year, we believe it further proved his versatility out of the backcourt. He also provides a strong defender who plays both ways effectively, averaging greater than two steals per game last year. This is a massive pickup for Pat Kelsey and Louisville as they push towards a return to relevancy in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 9.2 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 3.9 APG

54. Sion James

National Championship Odds: Tulane NA | Duke +1200

James has some of the top shot selection in the country, only seeking his scoring at the rim and from beyond the arc. It's a beautiful sight for modern, analytic-driven basketball fans and coaches, and it proved to be worthwhile in his shooting splits. James shot 51.4 percent from the field, including 38.1 percent from three in his junior campaign, and will provide a serious scoring punch to a Duke team that lost plenty of it in the offseason. His one area of improvement would be at the line. Shooting just 68 percent from the line for a guard that attempts nearly five free throws per game must improve if he continues to be a downhill threat off the dribble.

2023-24 Stats: 14.0 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 2.7 APG

55. Achor Achor

Former Team: Samford (Southern) | New Team: Kansas State (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Samford NA | Kansas State +8000

Achor Achor was a stunning last-second add to the portal, the centerpiece at Samford, which had perhaps its most successful season in program history in making it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. Achor's shining moment was proving on the sport's biggest stage that he can hang with the big boys. His 23 points and eight rebounds against Kansas nearly pushed the Bulldogs to the upset and helped him become a bit more of a nationally known player in the sport ahead of his entrance into the portal. At 6'8", he seems most comfortable and effective within the pick-and-roll, where he is equally a threat as a popper at 44 percent from beyond the arc or at the rim. Jerome Tang and the Wildcats should have no problem finding the most effective way to utilize him in the offense.

2023-24 Stats: 16.1 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 1.5 APG

56. Kylan Boswell

Former Team: Arizona (Pac-12) | New Team: Illinois (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Arizona +2000 | Illinois +8000

Boswell's November had the Wildcat faithful thinking they struck gold between his development and the acquisition of Caleb Love, providing them with perhaps the best backcourt in college basketball. The sophomore averaged 13.5 points per game through six games, putting up some solid performances against high-level competition against Duke and Michigan State. For the remainder of the season, Boswell cooled off and averaged just 8.9 points per outing, including failing to eclipse five points in five of Arizona's final six games. While it's challenging to get comfortable in a backcourt with Love focusing so heavily on his scoring, Boswell needed a new home to get comfortable again. The Champaign native is back home at Illinois and will get a fresh start to showcase his high ceiling with the Illini next season.

2023-24 Stats: 9.6 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 3.6 APG

57. Kobe Johnson

Former Team: USC (Pac-12) | New Team: UCLA (Pac-12)

National Championship Odds: USC +6000 | UCLA +5500

Kobe Johnson will never lead your team in scoring, but he can do tons of little things that go towards winning. The junior is a stellar defender, ranking second in the Pac-12 in steals per game and often taking the team's top defensive assignment. He can do a bit of everything but truly thrives at showcasing his athleticism by getting to the rim. He's a glue guy that Mick Cronin will absolutely adore having on his side at UCLA.

2023-24 Stats: 10.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.3 APG

58. Terrence Edwards

Former Team: James Madison (Sun Belt) | New Team: Louisville (ACC)

National Championship Odds: James Madison NA | Louisville +8000

Terrence Edwards was the ringleader of a James Madison team that went on to win an NCAA Tournament game as their lead guard capable of creating his own shot and involving others when necessary. He won't take over a game for his team, but will often make the right decision to lead his team to victory. While he only has one season of eligibility remaining, he provides a guard with high-major size and experience that should make him an immediate starter at the Power 6 level.

2023-24 Stats: 10.4 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 0.5 APG

59. Darlinstone Dubar

Former Team: Hofstra (CAA) | New Team: Tennessee (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Hofstra NA | Tennessee +3500

If the success of former Hofstra guard Aaron Estrada at Alabama indicates how well-prepared Pride players are for Power 6 competition, then Dubar could make this ranking look silly. He was an excellent Robin to Tyler Thomas's Batman this past season. At 6'6", Dubar is a lengthy guard who shot above 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc while snatching 6.8 rebounds per game in 2023-24. He was incredibly efficient while playing a boatload of minutes and remaining active on the defensive end. We're big fans of Dubar, and his game could make an extremely smooth transition to the SEC with the Tennessee Volunteers.

2023-24 Stats: 17.8 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.4 APG

60. Zhuric Phelps

National Championship Odds: SMU +30000 | Texas A&M +8000

As have plenty of SMU guards been in the past, Phelps is an elite athlete. It makes his fit at Texas A&M perfect due to Buzz Williams's desire to fill the floor with athletes and allow them to chuck up shots, attack the offensive glass, rinse, and repeat. While Phelps's 38.6 percent shooting from the floor may look like a shortcoming on his stat sheet, it isn't far from the 40.2 percent the Aggies shot last season. This is simply the right fit for both the player and the program, and Phelps should see a meaningful role with his new team right away.

2023-24 Stats: 14.0 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 2.7 APG

61. Saint Thomas

Former Team: Northern Colorado (Big Sky) | New Team: USC (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Northern Colorado NA | USC +8000

Following Dalton Knecht's standout season, a year ago with  Northern Colorado and run with the Vols this season, Saint Thomas appears poised to become the next Bear to make a splash at a larger program. With a physique mirroring Knecht's at 6'7" and 200 lbs, Thomas excels as a versatile scorer who can effectively shoot and drive, making him a formidable opponent on the court. The success of Knecht could pave the way for Thomas, suggesting to high-major programs that the leap from the Big Sky to Power 6 conferences may be more seamless than previously thought. Time will tell if Thomas will be handle the move to the Big Ten as he joins the USC Trojans.

2023-24 Stats: 19.7 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 4.2 APG

62. D.J. Wagner

Former Team: Kentucky (SEC) | New Team: Arkansas (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Kentucky | Arkansas +3500

Similar to teammate Aaron Bradshaw, things just didn't quite pan out for DJ Wagner at Kentucky. There were portions of his senior season in high school where Wagner was considered the top prospect in the Class of 2023, but the Wildcat faithful were never given the superstar that was advertised. The freshman did show some flashes earlier in the year, but SEC play led to some struggles, and a fresh start feels best for everyone involved here. He'll get that at Arkansas with the head coach that originally recruited him in John Calipari.

2023-24 Stats: 9.9 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 3.3 APG

63. Jordan Pope

National Championship Odds: Oregon State +50000 | Texas +5500

Pope is one of the lesser-known elite scorers at the Power 6 level from 2023-24. He is great at creating for himself, and his lack of help with the Beavers hindered his shooting splits a bit. He can thank being on a dreadful Oregon State team that finished with just five wins in Pac-12 play, and Pope's success heavily correlated with the Beavers' results. In games where he scored at least 25 points, they were 5-2 on the season. In all other games, Oregon State was 7-17. It just goes to show his impact on winning and he should provide the same at Texas under Rodney Terry.

2023-24 Stats: 17.6 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 3.4 APG

64. Milos Uzan

Former Team: Oklahoma (Big 12) | New Team: Houston

National Championship Odds: Oklahoma +10000 | Houston +1600

Uzan continues the mass exodus of guards from Oklahoma this offseason, joining Javian McCollum and Otega Oweh as departing members of the backcourt. While he regressed from a shooting standpoint in 2023-24, he has a smooth-looking jump shot that boasts potential and is a natural playmaker with elite vision. He'll remain in the Big 12 for his junior season and join Houston, where Kelvin Sampson has developed some of the best guards in the country over the years.

2023-24 Stats: 9.0 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 4.4 APG

65. Andrew Carr

Former Team: Wake Forest (ACC) | New Team: North Carolina (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Wake Forest +10000 | North Carolina +1600

Carr was a critical part of a fun Wake Forest offense that truly needed him out there in order to operate functionally. As a 6'10" stretch forward who was capable of shooting over 37 percent from beyond the arc, the defensive attention he required allowed other talents like Hunter Sallis and Efton Reid to get theirs as well. With his combination of size and shooting, there may be All-American upside here for Carr heading into his final collegiate season. Not only did high majors show a liking to Carr in the portal, but another season showing off his shooting ability and efficiency at his new home North Carolina could lead him to NBA waters in the near future.

2023-24 Stats: 13.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.5 APG

66. Andrej Stojakovic

Former Team: Stanford (ACC) | New Team: California (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Stanford +30000 | California +30000

Son of three-time NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic, Andrej has the pedigree to be one of the next top shooters in college basketball. While it was on full display in high school, Stanford never quite saw the peak of his ability, something that has become a common occurrence among the top talent to transfer away from the program. A top 20 recruit out of high school, we trust in Stojakovic's ability to improve and impose on a better situation, which we believe he possesses by joining Mark Madsen at Cal next season.

2023-24 Stats: 7.8 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 0.9 APG

67. Brandon Huntley-Hatfield

Former Team: Louisville (ACC) | New Team: North Carolina State (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Louisville +8000 | North Carolina State +15000

After building up to the collegiate level over the course of two seasons at Tennessee and Louisville, BHH found some footing during his junior campaign at Louisville, finishing second in the team in scoring and tops in rebounding. He was a bright spot in an otherwise dark season where he may not have fully received the recognition he deserves for his efforts. He provides a lengthy forward at 6'10" that just oozes potential with a length and ability that beckons some strong coaching up and down the court. In the right situation, BHH could take off as a prospect.

2023-24 Stats: 12.9 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 1.0 APG

68. Frankie Fidler

Former Team: Omaha (Summit) | New Team: Michigan State (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Omaha NA | Michigan State +6000

Along with Zeke Mayo, Fidler is up next among the lineage of Summit League studs that have gone on to bigger programs and succeeded. To give some context to how good Fidler was in 2023-24, he was one of just three unanimous First-Team All-Summit players alongside the aforementioned Mayo and Denver's Tommy Bruner, who finished second in the nation in scoring. He is Tom Izzo's first transfer pickup since Tyson Walker in 2021, meaning his talents were heavily desired in East Lansing. Don't be surprised if he is a focal point of the Sparty offense in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 20.1 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.6 APG

69. Kasean Pryor

Former Team: South Florida (American) | New Team: Louisville (ACC)

National Championship Odds: South Florida +30000 | Louisville +8000

Kasean Pryor is a freak with elite upside with an interesting journey. After seeing just 13 games of action in his first two collegiate seasons with Boise State, Pryor found himself at the JUCO level playing for Northwest Florida State. Amir Abdur-Rahim took a chance on him at South Florida, and it paid off in a big way. He provided them a 6'10" stretch forward that can shoot, dribble, and finish at the rim. It's between the ears that can often get Pryor in trouble. His shot selection is subpar, but he still maintained the second-highest efficiency rating among starters for South Florida last season.  If he can elevate his decision-making, there could be a meteoric leap for Pryor in his final collegiate season at Louisville.

2023-24 Stats: 13.0 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 1.8 APG

70. Tyrin Lawrence

Former Team: Vanderbilt (SEC) | New Team: TBD

National Championship Odds: Vanderbilt +20000

After a breakout junior season, there was tons of excitement surrounding Tyrin Lawrence's potential heading into his senior season with Vanderbilt. Not only did he not make that step, but he regressed a bit with his shooting splits and the program had a tough season. The Georgia native was asked to do a lot by himself this year which may have played a part in the ten percent drop in field goal percentage, but he'll need to improve those numbers at his next location.

Lawrence entered the portal last offseason and opted to return. While we don't think that's as likely after Jerry Stackhouse's dismissal, Lawrence was present at newly-hired Commodores head coach Mark Byington's introductory press conference.

2023-24 Stats: 13.8 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 5.1 APG

71. Max Shulga

Former Team: VCU (Atlantic 10) | New Team: Villanova (Big East)

National Championship Odds: VCU +30000 | Villanova +12000

The sharpshooting Shulga's game translated beautifully from Utah State to VCU. The rising fifth-year senior is a career 40 percent three-point shooter across 127 collegiate appearances and is a perfect floor spacer when on the court. What makes Shulga such an elite shooter is his endless motor combined with his ability to keep defenders honest. While shooting is his primary method of offense, his occasional playmaking or cuts to the basket force teams into difficult spots when face-guarding or double-teaming him out of a shot. He's also one of the top handlers off the pick-and-roll in the nation, scoring a scorching 1.15 points per possession off the pick-and-roll, good for 93rd percentile nationally.

2023-24 Stats: 14.0 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.6 APG

72. Arthur Kaluma

Former Team: Kansas State (Big 12) | New Team: TBD

National Championship Odds: Kansas State +8000

Kaluma was a top 20 transfer for us last season and certainly delivered as such for Kansas State in 2023-24. The Massachusetts native reached career season-average highs across the board in points, rebounds, and assists as a key contributor to a team that flirted with the NCAA Tournament for most of the season. His biggest struggles come with efficiency. Kaluma is just a 43 percent shooter from the field in his career and had 2.8 turnovers per game last season. Those will both need to improve if he wants to be a legitimate piece at a blue blood destination and for any success at the next level.

2023-24 Stats: 14.4 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.0 APG

73. Jaxson Robinson

Former Team: BYU (Big 12) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: BYU +8000 | Kentucky +3500

74. Isaiah Swope

Former Team: Indiana State (Missouri Valley) | New Team: Saint Louis (Atlantic 10)

National Championship Odds: Indiana State NA | Saint Louis +25000

Among an elite grouping of Indiana State guards last season, Isaiah Swope was the shiftiest and most exciting. His highlight reel is filled with shaking defenders out of their shoes for a shot off the bounce, or ending a drive with a saucy finish at the rim. At the same time, he finds way to play within himself and almost never looks out of control. Head coach Josh Schertz knew how to use him effectively in his pick-and-roll offense. Add in that Swope finished in the 90th percentile of spot-up shooters last season, and we should see his offensive success continue at Saint Louis in 2024-25. 

2023-24 Stats: 15.9 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 2.1 APG

75. Houston Mallette

Former Team: Pepperdine (WCC) | New Team: Alabama (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Pepperdine NA | Alabama +1500

Mallette has largely been the same player over the past three seasons after having a stellar freshman season at Pepperdine. Some of that can be attributed to the fact that there's only one ball for three incredibly talented players in Ajayi and Jevon Porter, who will we get to later. He's got a smooth all-around game and a crisp jump shot that doesn't fail him too often. His play style and length will be right at home in Tuscaloosa.

2023-24 Stats: 14.7 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 2.4 APG

76. Roddy Gayle Jr.

Former Team: Ohio State (Big Ten) | New Team: Michigan (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Ohio State +5500 | Michigan +4500

Roddy Gayle Jr. is a physical, hard-nosed guard who loves to get at the rim. He scored over 60 percent in 2023-24, utilizing both his left and right to find open lanes to the tin. His playmaking also took a significant step forward in his sophomore campaign. Gayle went from averaging less than an assist per game his freshman season to 3.1 dishes per contest last year. He shot over 80 percent from the line, and there is some structure to his jump shot. If he can develop that further back and become a solid three-point shooter, Gayle's game could take a massive leap beyond just next season at Michigan and perhaps toward the NBA Draft.

2023-24 Stats: 13.5 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.1 APG

77. Tyrese Hunter

Former Team: Texas (SEC) | New Team: Memphis (American)

National Championship Odds: Texas +4000 | Memphis +6500

Hunter's comments on "deciding going forward what's best for me" after Texas's NCAA Tournament elimination made this feel borderline imminent. He is one of those high-floor, low-ceiling guys in this year's portal. It's an underrated addition to make as someone who can be a contributing starter for a team that has largely developed its elite talent pool and just wants a veteran presence that can provide some reliable minutes over the course of a 30-game season. He's only missed one game in his three-year career and has averaged double digits across 102 games in the Big 12 with Iowa State and Texas. That type of consistency and experience feels like a must-have based on previous editions of Memphis teams under Penny Hardaway.

2023-24 Stats: 11.1 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 4.1 APG

78. TJ Bamba

Former Team: Villanova (Big East) | New Team: Oregon (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Villanova +6500 | Oregon +10000

It was a rather disappointing season for a Villanova team that felt like it had second-weekend aspirations after accruing some big-time transfers, one of them being TJ Bamba. The former Washington State guard was mostly as advertised with the Wildcats in a slightly diminished role. Most thought the fit with Villanova would work, given his archetype. Bamba is a brute, physical guard who does not shy away from contact and is more than capable of calling his own number from deep and reliably knocking down some triples. After going cross-country from Wazzu to Nova, Bamba is heading right back to the west coast to join Dana Altman's Ducks in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 10.1 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.8 APG

Former Team: Saint Louis (Atlantic 10) | New Team: McNeese (Southland)

National Championship Odds: Saint Louis +25000 | McNeese +30000

Sincere Parker was off to an awesome start to the season in November. Through the first four games of the season, he was averaging over 17 points per game while shooting nearly 50 percent from the floor. A broken bone in his right foot against Wyoming at the Myrtle Beach Invitational, forcing him to miss two months of the season. His return in January was slowly ramped up, and he looked more like himself towards the back end of the season. A stretch of three straight 30-point games is more of what should be expected when Parker is fully healthy and at his best. Parker's choice to transfer down to McNeese came as a total stunner, and he will now join Will Wade as the Cowboys continue to retool for another dominant season in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 15.9 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 0.9 APG

80. Malik Dia

Former Team: Belmont (Missouri Valley) | New Team: Ole Miss (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Belmont NA | Ole Miss +10000

Improbably, Dia is now our third Belmont player on this list. The Bruins had the talent and were really starting to put things together down the stretch, but the top of the Missouri Valley was just too good this year. The talent in the league also buried how great Dia was throughout the year. The best way to summate his peak is to watch his 32-point performance in a win over Drake on January. He is an unbelievable prospect at 6'9" while being capable of knocking down five threes against that level of competition. His versatility as a matchup nightmare could help push Ole Miss over the edge in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 16.9 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.2 APG

81. Duke Miles

Former Team: High Point (Big South) | New Team: Oklahoma (SEC)

National Championship Odds: High Point NA | Oklahoma +15000

It's not too often you see a 6'2", undersized guard shoot 53 percent from the floor. That's exactly what DMiles did during his lone season at High Point, shooting a ridiculous 60.1 percent on two-pointers. Add in that he shot over 80 percent from the free-throw line and he becomes one of the most efficient scorers in the country, finishing just outside the top 100 nationally in KenPom's individual offensive efficiency rating. With two years of eligibility remaining, there is plenty of time for Miles to acclimate to the high-major level and potentially become an All-Conference backcourt talent for the Sooners.

2023-24 Stats: 17.5 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 3.6 APG

81 - Chibuzo Agbo

Former Team: Boise State (Mountain West) | New Team: USC (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Boise State +15000 | USC +8000

Agbo began his career at Texas Tech, where he could not find a way into the team's rotation and averaged just 6.5 minutes per game across 45 appearances in two seasons with the Red Raiders. His decision to transfer to Boise State ahead of his junior year would pay in dividends, as he became a Mountain West Honorable Mention after averaging 13.7 points per game. In a First Four matchup against Colorado where the offense was mostly struggling, Agbo was the lone bright spot, scoring 17 of their 53 points in the defeat and putting on an impressive showing. He also possesses a beautiful jump shot that has been on full display in Boise as a 40 percent three-point shooter over the past two seasons. A true three-level scorer, Agbo could blossom at the right destination.

2023-24 Stats: 13.7 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 0.8 APG

83. Jevon Porter

Former Team: Pepperdine (WCC) | New Team: Loyola Marymount (WCC)

National Championship Odds: Pepperdine NA | Loyola Marymount NA

Just as Dia was Belmont's third player, Porter is the third player from Pepperdine to make our list. It wasn't the season they had hoped for based on the talent they had atop the roster, but each player had a few games where they displayed what made them so special. Porter was a bit more of a stable presence within the lineup, scoring in double-digits for 14 straight games to round out the season. He's a reliable scorer with two years of eligibility left, something that isn't so common in the portal.

On April 26, Porter was arrested on suspicion of DWI. Loyola Marymount has stated that they are aware of the situation and are "gathering information about the matter."

2023-24 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.7 APG

84. DJ Davis

Former Team: Butler (Big East) | New Team: Washington (Pac-12)

National Championship Odds: Butler +20000 | Washington +10000

While Davis's shooting splits may look underwhelming, he was tasked with taking some seriously challenging shots all season long. He certainly passes the eye test with some NBA-level shotmaking at times and enough ability to handle the high-major ranks. After getting that season adjusting to Power 6 play under his belt after transferring into Butler from UC Irvine, he may be more suited to take a leap this season. Washington feels like just the place where he'll get enough volume to be an impactful transfer.

2023-24 Stats: 13.5 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 2.6 APG

85. Josh Cohen

Former Team: UMass (Atlantic 10) | New Team: USC (Pac-12)

National Championship Odds: UMass NA | USC +6000

After terrorizing the NEC as a 20 PPG scorer during his junior season at St. Francis, Cohen chose to transfer up to UMass where he continued to display his valuable paint presence. While his rebounding and paint scoring was already efficient, he chose to add another element to his game from beyond the arc in 2023-24, knocking down 11-of-32 triples. If he can continue to hit threes at that clip, he could be an elite offensive weapon for Eric Musselman at USC.

2023-24 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.7 APG

86. Pharrel Payne

Former Team: Minnesota (Big Ten) | New Team: Texas A&M (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Minnesota +20000 | Texas A&M +8000

Given his bigger frame, Payne is an old-school big, a true rim-runner with some solid athleticism. His range is mainly limited to dunks and paint post moves. He also provides an elite offensive rebounder and shot-blocker, finishing in the top ten in the Big Ten in both statistics. The rising junior must get better from the free-throw line and be taken seriously within the portal. Texas A&M is the next stop for Payne, who should thrive within Buzz Williams's system of selling out for rebounds on both ends of the floor.

2023-24 Stats: 10.0 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 1.2 APG

87. Adou Thiero

Former Team: Kentucky (SEC) | New Team: Arkansas (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Kentucky +3000 | Arkansas +3000

Thiero spent 2023-24 cementing himself into Kentucky's starting lineup after getting little burn in his freshman campaign. Coach Cal rewarded him for sticking around, starting him in 19 of his 25 appearances last season. Calipari's departure means that Thiero will be one among a few packing their bags and following their coach to play at Arkansas next season. He should be a key part of what Cal will want to do in Fayetteville in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 7.2 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 1.1 APG

88. Tarris Reed

Former Team: Michigan (Big Ten) | New Team: UConn (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Michigan +5000 | UConn +1300

Reed was a part of the Michigan dumpster fire this past season, a player that looked like something the program could build upon with so many seniors in the starting lineup heading for the door at season's end. Juwan Howard's firing likely sent Reed packing, and the Wolverines must now hit the reset button. Reed will do the same and seek a new home, which shouldn't be hard to find given his former top-40 ranking in his high school recruiting class. The ceiling appears to be there with some breakout performances over the year, including a 20-point outburst against Illinois in a losing effort back in January. And if anyone has proven they can tap into the ceiling of a big man, it's been Dan Hurley and the Huskies.

2023-24 Stats: 9.0 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 0.6 APG

89. J'Vonne Hadley

Former Team: Colorado (Pac-12) | New Team: Louisville (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Colorado +15000 | Louisville +10000

Hadley was perhaps the most underrated cog in Colorado's system in 2023-24. While most of the attention and love went to  Tristan da Silva, KJ Simpson, Eddie Lampkin, and Cody Williams, Haldey was a reliable fifth starter who seemed to always make the right decision. The most efficient offensive player throughout Pac-12 play, according to KenPom, we're interested to see how Hadley does with a bigger workload at his next destination. If he can keep up his strong shooting splits with a bit more on his plate, he could become a key piece to this revamped Louisville squad in 2024-25.

2023-24 Stats: 11.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.4 APG

90. Amari Williams

Former Team: Drexel (CAA) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Drexel NA | Kentucky +4000

Williams is a premier rim protector as a three-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year winner after averaging two blocks per game across three seasons at Drexel. His elite rebounding percentages, paired with his defensive presence, are getting schools like Kentucky to take notice with some serious interest in the former Dragon. At 6'10" and 277 lbs. with a solidly athletic build, there's plenty of reason to believe that Williams's game will transfer well to the Power 6 level as he joins Kentucky's star-studded transfer class.

2023-24 Stats: 12.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.9 APG

91. Jalen Blackmon

Former Team: Stetson (Atlantic Sun) | New Team: Miami (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Stetson NA | Miami +6000

While Blackmon was one of the best scoring guards at the mid-major level all season, he caught some national attention after scoring 43 points against Austin Peay in the Atlantic Sun Championship game. He possesses a beautiful shooting stroke, a heightened level of composure whenever he attacks the rim, and a clean pull-up mid-range jumper off the dribble, making him a complete three-level scorer. There is a fluidity and swagger to Blackmon's game, and it wouldn't shock us to see him on the NBA radar after he decides to go through the draft process this offseason, especially with how well Jim Larrañaga has developed his backcourts of the past.

2023-24 Stats: 21.3 PPG, 2,9 RPG, 1.9 APG

92. Dain Dainja

Former Team: Illinois (Big Ten) | New Team: Memphis (American)

National Championship Odds: Illinois +4000 | Memphis +6500 

Dainja's fit with Illinois seemed to shore up in 2023-24, where their uptempo offense and small-ball approach seemed to leave him as a fish out of water. This transfer makes on-the-court sense for us from a fit standpoint, and he showed his ability with more minutes during his sophomore season. He will bring strong rebounding and block rates to Memphis next season and will look to anchor the paint and replace the graduated Nae'Qwan Tomlin.

2023-24 Stats: 6.1 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 0.2 APG

93. Connor Hickman

Former Team: Bradley (Missouri Valley) | New Team: Cincinnati (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Bradley NA | Cincinnati +10000

Connor Hickman was part of Bradley's elite four-headed attack last season. He was the leading scorer, filling the role of a sharpshooting guard who could get hot on any night. Three separate times in 2023-24, he knocked down six triples, all in games the Braves won. While he likely won't lead his next destination in scoring, he can provide a reliable outside scoring threat to keep defenses honest and knock down some crucial shots. Head coach Brian Wardle's system relied upon getting up a high volume of three-pointers, so we'll see if Cincinnati head coach Wes Miller looks to get Hickman his share of looks from beyond the arc next season.

2023-24 Stats: 14.5 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 2.9 APG

94. Eddie Lampkin

Former Team: Colorado (Pac-12) | New Team: Syracuse (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Colorado +15000 | Syracuse +10000

Eddie Lampkin is a bonafide brute in the middle of the court. At 6'11" and 300 lbs., he's more likely to get mistaken for an NFL tackle than a light-footed basketball player by unknowing bystanders on campus. He'll now take his talents to central New York to play for Syracuse, a decision we would have guessed wrong about 100 times before even thinking of the Orange. His defense and motor skills need to be improved if he's going to reach an All-ACC level. There were plenty of times when Lampkin's lack of lateral quickness and levels of fatigue made him a serious liability in the paint on the defensive end for Colorado. Pick and roll was a feast for most teams against Lampkin, which will have to change for him to have a more significant impact with the Orange.

2023-24 Stats: 10.6 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.2 APG

95. Keyshawn Hall

Former Team: George Mason (Atlantic 10) | New Team: UCF (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: George Mason NA | UCF +25000

While Keyshawn Hall is far better than this ranking indicates, there have been plenty of rumors surrounding some drama Hall has stirred up at George Mason. Some sources have mentioned a serious disconnection due to Hall's desires and the rest of the team. At the same time, there were reports he was playing up his ankle injury toward the end of the season to prepare himself to enter the portal in the offseason. While these are just rumors, they follow a pattern of Hall being a shaky locker room presence back to his days at UNLV. Nevertheless, he's a fantastic talent who will undoubtedly be a strong backcourt addition for UCF next season. If Johnny Dawkins can get him to focus for an entire season, he could be a massive steal at this ranking.

2023-24 Stats: 16.6 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 APG
