5) Tennessee Volunteers
The Tennessee Volunteers are in the same situation as Florida as they prepare to lose multiple key pieces in the backcourt. Donovan Dent could be an interesting player in the Vols' offensive system, which could entice him to transfer to Tennessee if he hopes to boost his draft stock in the NBA Draft next offseason. Then again, he can do that at any of the above spots, so Rocky Top truly has to stand out to him.

1) Kentucky Wildcats
Recent reports suggest that Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats are among the biggest suitors for Donovan Dent in the transfer portal. The Wildcats are looking to bolster their backcourt ahead of next season, and with Dent's preference to play fast, Pope's system fits his play style well. Don't be surprised to see the guard join the SEC squad.
2) UCLA Bruins
The UCLA Bruins are the other team seemingly going hand-in-hand with Kentucky in pursuing Donovan Dent. Considering the guard is a California native, the Bruins could have the upper hand if he hopes to transfer closer to home. However, if he prefers to contend for a national championship and compete with top competition, his next team will come down to the Wildcats and Bruins.
3) Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama hasn't yet been mentioned in the pursuit of Donovan Dent, but it wouldn't be a shock to see them insert their name before it's all said and done. The Crimson Tide are in a position to make a run seemingly every season over the last couple of years, which alone could be a strong selling point for Bama.
4) Florida Gators
The Florida Gators look like true contenders this season as they continue their NCAA Tournament run. However, Florida is set to lose multiple key pieces to the NBA Draft in the offseason, which could lead to Florida turning to the transfer portal. If Donovan Dent is still available when they get the chance to do some recruiting, his fit in Gainesville would be interesting.
5) Tennessee Volunteers
The Tennessee Volunteers are in the same situation as Florida as they prepare to lose multiple key pieces in the backcourt. Donovan Dent could be an interesting player in the Vols' offensive system, which could entice him to transfer to Tennessee if he hopes to boost his draft stock in the NBA Draft next offseason. Then again, he can do that at any of the above spots, so Rocky Top truly has to stand out to him.
