The Top 50 Players in the Transfer Portal

---

1. Yaxel Lendeborg, 6-foot-9 senior forward, UAB
COMMITTED TO MICHIGAN

After two seasons as a NJCAA All-American at Arizona Western College, Lendeborg transferred to UAB, where he averaged 15.8 points and 11 rebounds per contest over the past two seasons. This season, Lendeborg averaged 17.4, 11.4 and 4.2, which earned him the No.1 spot in The Portal Report’s transfer rankings. The Pennsauken, N.J., native committed to coach Dusty May and Michigan out of the portal; he also is considering the NBA draft. If he remains in college, expect Lendeborg to be a key cog in Ann Arbor.

2. Bennett Stirtz, 6-foot-4 junior guard, Drake
COMMITTED TO IOWA

The MVC Player of the Year is headed to Iowa, where he’ll join Ben McCollum, his coach at Drake. Stirtz transferred to Drake last offseason after two years playing for McCollum at Division II Northwest Missouri State. He averaged 19.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists this season. Stirtz scored 20 or more points in four consecutive games to end the season, including a 21-point outing in a 67-57 NCAA Tournament first-round win over No.6 seed Missouri. With the recent commitment to Iowa of 6-foot-4 junior guard Brendan Hausen of Kansas State, a sharpshooter who averaged just under 11 points per contest for the Wildcats last season, Stirtz has the chance to put his playmaking ability on full display.

3. Adrian Wooley, 6-foot-5 freshman guard, Kennesaw State
COMMITTED TO LOUISVILLE

As a three-star recruit out of Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Paul W. Bryant High., Wooley had zero offers from high-major programs. Instead, he ended up at Kennesaw State, thanks to a connection with Owls coach Antoine Pettway, a former Alabama assistant. Wooley averaged 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists on his way to winning CUSA Rookie of the Year honors. Once he entered the portal, he received an abundance of high-major interest before committing to Louisville, where he’s primed to develop into a lethal part of coach Pat Kelsey’s backcourt rotation.

4. Anthony Roy, 6-foot-5 senior guard, Green Bay
COMMITTED TO OKLAHOMA STATE

Oklahoma State will mark the sixth destination in Roy’s collegiate career. An Oakland native, Roy redshirted as a freshman at San Francisco before one season each at Wenatchee Valley College, New Mexico State, Langston University (where he was a NAIA first-team All-American) and Green Bay. In what was a tumultuous first year for coach Doug Gottlieb, Roy provided a rare bright spot before being injured. He led the nation in scoring at 25.7 points per game, including a career-high 35 on 8-of-12 shooting from beyond the arc in a win over Western Illinois. But he only played 11 games. Look for Roy to make an immediate impact for a Cowboys offense that struggled to score this season.

5. Chad Baker-Mazara, 6-foot-7 senior guard, Auburn

The well-traveled Baker-Mazara — who will be 26 when next season ends — is on the move again. He began his career at Duquesne in 2020-21. After one season, he moved on to San Diego State, where he was the Mountain West Conference Sixth Man of the Year. After that year, he transferred to Northwest Florida State, a junior college, and after one season there, he spent the past two at Auburn. After playing a key reserve role in his first season on the Plains, averaging 10.0 points per game, Baker-Mazara started all but four games for the Tigers this season. He brings an undeniable toughness and energy along with an ability to score in big moments. Baker-Mazara led Auburn in scoring with 18 points in its Final Four loss to Florida. Per reports, Louisville and Kentucky already have expressed interest.

6. Xzayvier Brown, 6-foot-2 sophomore guard, Saint Joseph’s COMMITTED TO OKLAHOMA

Despite receiving offers from Marquette and USC as a three-star prospect out of Philadelphia Roman Catholic High, hometown St. Joe’s ultimately signed Brown. He was the 2023-24 A-10 Rookie of the Year, then averaged 17.6 points and 4.3 assists this season. His stepfather, current St. Joe’s assistant Justin Scott, reportedly is set to join Porter Moser’s staff at Oklahoma. Brown entered the portal on April 14 with a “Do Not Contact” tag and all indications seem to be that he’ll follow Scott to Norman.

7. Tucker DeVries, 6-foot-7 senior guard, West Virginia
COMMITTED TO INDIANA

Indiana hired Darian DeVries as coach on March 18. Two weeks later, his son, Tucker, committed to the Hoosiers out of the portal. DeVries played for his dad for three seasons at Drake and was a two-time MVC Player of the Year. He averaged 21.6 points as a junior at Drake; he then followed his dad to West Virginia. While DeVries suffered an upper-body injury that limited him to eight games, he showed an ability to produce at the high-major level, averaging 14.9 points per game, including a season-high 26 in an overtime win over then-No.24 Arizona.

8. Donovan Dent, 6-foot-2 junior guard, New Mexico
COMMITTED TO UCLA

Dent was one of the best players in college basketball this season, averaging 20.4 points and 6.4 assists to earn Mountain West Player of the Year honors. Dent led No. 10 seed New Mexico to a NCAA Tournament first-round win over Marquette with 21 points, six assists and two blocks. He was one of the transfer portal’s most coveted entrants before committing to UCLA. Dent is an L.A. native.

9. Cedric Coward, 6-foot-6 senior guard, Washington State TOP TWO: Duke, Alabama

After starting his career at Division III Willamette in Salem, Ore., Coward transitioned to Division I with ease and went on to earn All-Big Sky first-team honors at Eastern Washington in 2023-24. He transferred to Washington State and found early success, as he averaged 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. But he was injured in the seventh game and missed the rest of the season. Though the Fresno, Calif., native entered the transfer portal April 9, he reportedly is set on going through the NBA Draft process.

10. Oscar Cluff, 6-foot-11 senior forward, South Dakota State
COMMITTED TO PURDUE

Matt Painter has had a succession of talented big men during his time at Purdue, and Cluff, who averaged 17.6 points and 12.3 rebounds at South Dakota State this season, fits that mold to a tee. After two seasons at Cochise College in Arizona, Cluff transferred to Washington State, where he averaged 7.0 points per game in 23 starts in 2023-24. The Aussie put it all together this season after another transfer and should be in a position to thrive in West Lafayette.

11. Xaivian Lee, 6-foot-4 junior guard, Princeton
COMMITTED TO FLORIDA

Lee started each game for the Tigers in the past two seasons after zero starts as a freshman. He averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists this season and looks to have the versatility needed to produce at the high-major level. He posted on social media that he is down to Florida, Kansas and St. John’s. Lee visited St John’s and Kansas over the weekend before heading to Florida on Tuesday. He was high school teammates with Florida’s Thomas Haugh in Pennsburg, Pa. Lee received no high-major interest out of high school.

12. Obi Agbim, 6-foot-3 senior guard, Wyoming
COMMITTED TO BAYLOR

A long and winding road has led Agbim to Baylor. From Aurora, Colo., Agbim played his freshman season at Division II Metro State, in Denver. He then moved on to Northeastern Junior College, in Sterling, Colo. After one season there, he tranferred to Division II Fort Lewis College, in Durango, Colo., where he played for two seasons and was a key player. He played this season at Wyoming and led the Cowboys in points (17.6), assists (3.4) and steals (1.1). He showed an ability to create his own shot. With the additions of Agbim and 6-foot-9 junior forward Michael Rataj, who averaged 16.9 points per game this season for Oregon State, coach Scott Drew has added two immediate impact transfers.

13. Chansey Willis, 6-foot-2 freshman guard, Western Michigan
COMMITTED TO MINNESOTA

After receiving a barrage of high-major offers following his entry into the portal, including from Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Clemson and Texas A&M, Willis committed to Minnesota on Monday. Willis, who has displayed clear improvement each season, started as a freshman at Division II Saginaw Valley State. He then transferred to Henry Ford College, where he played one season, before moving on to Western Michigan. He led the Broncos in points and assists with 16.8 and 5.8 per game, respectively. Look for Willis’ experience and scoring ability to play a crucial role for new Gophers coach Niko Medved next season.

14. Nick Davidson, 6-foot-10 junior forward, Nevada
COMMITTED TO CLEMSON

Davidson averaged 15.8 points and 6.5 rebounds at Nevada this season, and was a second-team All-Mountain West selection. Davidson started every game for the Wolf Pack the past two seasons. Wth Clemson losing all three of its frontcourt starters, Davidson should provide needed interior scoring for the Tigers.

15. Ja’Kobi Gillespie, 6-foot-1 junior guard, Maryland
COMMITTED TO TENNESSEE

Gillespie committed to the Volunteers and a return to his home state on April 4. Gillespie started every game at Maryland as a member of the “Crab Five” this season, averaging 14.7 points and 4.8 assists. He had a career-high 27 points in a Jan.10 win over UCLA. The Greeneville, Tenn., native began his career at Belmont. With Zakai Zeigler out of eligibility, Gillespie will have scoring and facilitating responsibilities to fill in the Vols’ backcourt.

16. Brian Moore, 6-foot-2 junior guard, Norfolk State
COMMITTED TO GRAND CANYON

During the 2021-22 season, Moore averaged 21.3 points per game at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and was a junior college All-American. That production got him a Division I opportunity with Murray State, where he proved to be a solid contributor in two seasons. Moore returned to his high-scoring form this season at Norfolk State, as he led the Spartans to the MEAC regular-season and tournament titles. They lost in the NCAA Tournament first round to Florida. He averaged 18.1 points and 3.0 assists while shooting 55% from the floor. He received tons of high-major interest before deciding to play for Bryce Drew at Grand Canyon.

17. Samage Teel, 6-foot-2 senior guard, Indiana State INTEREST: Kansas, South Carolina, Baylor, Florida State, Washington State, Arizona State

Teel has had to claw his way up the college basketball ladder. He began at Division II Winston-Salem (N.C.) State and finally earned consistent minutes as a redshirt sophomore, when he averaged 11.9 points per game. That was enough to garner Division I interest and Teel transferred to Presbyterian, where he started 21 games as a junior before portaling once again. He moved on to Indiana State , where he averaged 16.9 points, 5.2 assists and 4.1 rebounds this season. Teel has entered the portal again and reportedly has received high-major interest from the likes of Kansas, South Carolina, Baylor, Florida State and Arizona State.

18. PJay Smith, 6-foot-1 sophomore guard, Furman
INTEREST: DePaul, Iowa, Georgia, Saint Louis, Dayton

As a sophomore at Division II Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., in 2022-23, Smith scored 20 points six times, including a 32-point outburst against Auburn-Montgomery in which he went 5-of-7 from deep and 11-of-11 at the line. After transferring following that season, Smith fielded interest from Chattanooga, South Alabama, Loyola Chicago and others before choosing Furman. Smith averaged 10.0 points per game in his first season as a Paladin, then averaged 17.6, 4.1 and 3.9 this season. After entering the portal, Smith reportedly has received interest from DePaul, Iowa, Georgia, Saint Louis and Dayton.

COMMITTED TO OHIO STATE

Noel started 90 games during his three seasons at Wright State. This season, Noel averaged 19.0 points and had 18 20-point games. Noel showed the ability to perform at a high-major level in the Raiders’ Nov. 14 loss to Kentucky, in which he led the team with 20 points and eight rebounds. A Lucasville, Ohio native, Noel will be joined at Ohio State by another Ohioan in 6-foot-2 sophomore guard Gabe Cupps, who transferred from Indiana.

20. Quimari Peterson, 6-foot-1 senior guard, East Tennessee State

Peterson began his college career at Indiana State but after making just four appearances as a freshman, he transferred to John A. Logan College in Carterville, Ill., and helped win a junior college national title. Peterson signed with East Tennessee State ahead of the 2023-24 campaign and averaged 13.5 points per game. This season, Peterson really took off, averaging 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists to win SoCon Player of the Year honors. He committed to Washington on April 3 after having a plethora of high-major suitors.

21. Owen Freeman, 6-foot-10 sophomore forward, Iowa
COMMITTED TO CREIGHTON

One of the primary dominoes to fall following the departure of coach Fran McCaffery, Freeman entered the portal on March 15. On March 26, he committed to Creighton. Finger surgery limited Freeman to just 19 starts this season, but he produced during his time on the floor. Freeman averaged 16.7 points after averaging 10.6 as a freshman, and he scored in double figures in each game. Freeman has big shoes to fill: He’ll replace 7-foot-1 center Ryan Kalkbrenner, the second-leading scorer and rebounder in program history.

22. Jacob Ognacevic, 6-foot-8 senior forward, Lipscomb
COMMITTED TO WASHINGTON

Washington coach Danny Sprinkle has been busy in the portal. Ognacevic started his career with a season at Valparaiso before moving on to Lipscomb, where he has played for the past three season. He put it all together this season, averaging 20 points and eight rebounds. Ognacevic scored a team-high 18 in an NCAA Tournament first-round loss to Iowa State.

23. Boogie Fland, 6-foot-2 sophomore guard, Arkansas

Just five days after coach John Calipari announced his decision to leave Kentucky for Arkansas, Fland de-committed from the Wildcats. A week and a half later, the guard committed to Arkansas and Calipari. The Bronx native started hot in Fayetteville, averaging over 17 points per game through six contests. Although those numbers tapered off, Fland started 18 of 21 appearances, averaging 13.5 points and 5.1 assists per contest on the season. A January hand injury caused Fland to miss 15 games, though the freshman returned for the NCAA Tournament and averaged 17.7 minutes per contest through the Razorbacks’ run to the Sweet Sixteen. Fland fielded offers from Kentucky, Florida, Auburn, UConn and St. John’s out of Archbishop Stepinac High School. The point guard reportedly remains focused on the NBA Draft but undoubtedly has a plethora of suitors in the portal.

24. PJ Haggerty, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard, Memphis

Haggerty is seeking his fourth school in as many years. He spent his freshman season at TCU in 2022-23 but barely played. He moved on to Tulsa, where he finished second in the AAC in scoring at 21.2 points per game. This season at Memphis, Haggerty’s 21.7 points per game led the AAC and was No. 3 in the country. In the conference tourney quarterfinals against Wichita State, Haggerty poured in 42 points, going 16-of-25 from the floor and 10-of-11 from the foul line. In addition, Haggerty led the Tigers in assists with 3.7 per game and steals with 1.8, and also averaged 5.8 rebounds. He will garner heavy attention from premier programs.

COMMITTED TO OKLAHOMA

In his lone season with Howard, Harper was one of the nation’s top freshmen. He averaged 19.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists and led the MEAC in scoring. Maryland is seen as the early leader in his recruitment.

30. Darrion Williams, 6-foot-8 junior forward, Texas Tech INTEREST: Kansas, Ohio State, North Carolina State

The 2022-23 Mountain West Rookie of the Year at Nevada, Williams transferred to Texas Tech in 2023 and averaged 11.4 points per game. This season, his production soared as he played a critical role in the Red Raiders’ run to the Elite Eight. He and 6-foot-9 sophomore forward JT Toppin gave the Red Raiders a potent frontcourt duo. Williams was Tech’s second-leading scorer at 15.1 points per game and was a first team All-Big 12 pick. Williams scored 84 points in four NCAA Tournament games. He had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists to help stave off Drake in the second round.

INTEREST: High Point, North Dakota State, Eastern Michigan, SIU, Western Illinois, George Mason, Green Bay, Cal State Bakersfield

While West Georgia moved to Division I from Division II this season, Williams-Dryden was brought in from Milwaukee Area Tech to help build out the program’s inaugural roster. He averaged 19.6 points and 9.4 rebounds as a sophomore in junior college and almost matched those numbers this season in the Atlantic Sun Conference, averaging 17.6 points and 7.5 rebounds. He was West Georgia’s only double-digit scorer.

32. Bryce Hopkins, 6-foot-7 senior forward, Providence
COMMITTED TO ST. JOHN’S

As a four-star recruit out of Oak Park, Ill., Hopkins fielded a plethora of high-major offers, including from Louisville, Illinois, Kansas and Oregon. Ultimately, the top-50 recruit committed to John Calipari and Kentucky. After averaging just six minutes per game as a Wildcat, Hopkins transferred to Providence. As a sophomore, Hopkins showed productivity and durability, averaging 15.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per contest. Despite injuries that have limited Hopkins to just 17 games in the past two seasons, he quickly became a sought-after commodity upon entering the portal. In the end, Rick Pitino and the Red Storm outlasted Ed Cooley and Georgetown for Hopkins’ commitment.

33. Pop Issacs, 6-foot-2 junior guard, Creighton
COMMITTED TO HOUSTON

Houston landed Isaac’s commitment after he was heavily pursued by Ole Miss. Isaacs began his career at Texas Tech, where he started all but one game and averaged 15.8 points as a sophomore. After a hot start to his time at Creighton that included a 27-point performance in a win over then-No.1 Kansas, Isaacs had hip surgery after just eight games. Look for Isaac’s scoring ability and defensive tenacity to gel with Kelvin Sampson’s hard-nosed style of play.

34. Melvin Council, 6-foot-4 sophomore guard, Saint Bonaventure COMMITTED TO KANSAS

Council is a former junior college star who spent one season at Wagner, where he averaged 14.6 points and helped the program to an NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2023-24 season.

37. Jaland Lowe, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard, Pittsburgh

After a 7-1 start to the season, Pitt finished with a 17-15 overall record. Still, Lowe, a former four-star recruit out of Fort Bend (Texas) Marshall, played at a high level. He averaged 16.8 points, 4.2 rebonds and 5.5 assists, including a career-high 28 points in an overtime victory over Ohio State on Nov. 29. In Mark Pope’s first season at Kentucky, a majority of the Wildcats’ production came from transfers. Expect Lowe to make an immediate impact.

38. Jamir Watkins, 6-foot-7 senior guard, Florida State INTEREST: Pittsburgh, Kentucky, Arkansas

Watkins averaged 9.5 points and 5.4 assists as a sophomore at VCU before entering the portal after a coaching change.

Watkins entered the portal again April 9 with a “Do Not Contact” tag.

39. Jacari Lane, 6-foot-1 junior guard, North Alabama
COMMITTED TO TEXAS A&M

Auburn, Louisville, Wisconsin and an abundance of other high-major programs inquired about Lane following his entry into the portal. Yet, it was new Texas A&M coach Bucky McMillan who landed a commitment from the first-team All-ASUN performer. This season, Lane led the Lions in points per game with 17.3 and in assists with 4.0. With the departure of Wade Taylor IV, look for Lane to carve out a big role with the Aggies.

40. Ali Dibba, 6-foot-5 senior guard, Southern Illinois
INTEREST: Miss. State, Vanderbilt, Penn State, Arizona State, New Mexico, Wichita State, South Florida, George Washington, North Texas, Loyola Chicago, San Francisco

The No. 3 scorer in Arkansas high school history, Taylor received offers from Montana State, North Texas, Chattanooga and Appalachian State before signing with Central Arkansas.

He reportedly heard from the likes of Wake Forest, San Diego State, Richmond, College of Charleston, Drake and UC San Diego before committing to Murray State on Tuesday.

42. Isaiah Swope, 5-foot-10 senior guard, Saint Louis

Swope is one of the top shooters to enter the portal. He’s a career 37.7 percent shooter from three-point range, including a 42.3 percent clip as a sophomore at Southern Indiana in 2022-23. After averaging 15.6 points per contest that season, Swope transferred to Indiana State. He finished No. 3 on the team in scoring at 15.9 per game and shot 36.2 percent on a high volume (a nation’s-high 312 attempts) from three-point range. He averaged 17.1 points per game this season at Saint Louis, and had four games in which he hit at least six three-pointers. Overall, he was 35.9 percent from three on slightly fewer attempts than at Indiana State (290). Swope is an Indiana native, and with new Indiana coach Darian DeVries attacking the portal with vigor, look for Swope to be a potential target.

43. Alvaro Folgueiras, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard, Robert Morris
COMMITTED TO IOWA

Folgueiras was a breakout star this season for Robert Morris, which won the Horizon League title. After managing just 5.3 points per game as a freshman, the native of Spain averaged 14.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists and was the Horizon League’s Player of the Year.

He averaged 19.8 points to earn first-team all-conference honors. On April 2, Clark officially announced his commitment to Seton Hall.

46. Nick Anderson, 6-foot-5 junior guard, Prairie View
COMMITTED TO RICE

Anderson began his career at Division III at St. Thomas in Houston. His talent was evident when he averaged 10.8 points as a freshman before improving to 16.4 as a sophomore. That production offered Anderson the opportunity to move to Division I, as he received loads of interest last offseason before opting to transfer to Prairie View. He played in just 12 games before suffering a season-ending injury, but he was averaging 18.9 points and 5.3 rebounds when he was hurt Dec. 22.

47. Reed Bailey, 6-foot-10 junior forward, Davidson
COMMITTED TO INDIANA

Though the past few seasons have been a bit lackluster for Davidson, Bailey’s development for coach Matt McKillop had been a bright spot. He was a three-year starter for the Wildcats; he averaged 5.2 points as a freshman, 12.7 as a sophomore and 18.8 (and 6.6 rebounds) this season, when he was named the A10’s Most Improved Player.

INTEREST: Indiana, Baylor, UNLV, Texas A&M, Miss. State, New Orleans, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Virginia, Auburn, USC

Lampkin has improved each season in his five-year college career. As a freshman at TCU in 2020-21, Lampkin played barely four minutes per game. But in the next two years, Lampkin was a big interior presence as the Horned Frogs made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. His contagious energy carried over to Colorado in 2023-24, and he helped them get to the second round. He moved on to Syracuse this past offseason and averaged 11.5 points and 9.6 rebounds. Lampins has entgered the poral again, and Indiana, Missouri, Baylor, Auburn, USC and Arkansas, among others, have reached out.

49. Keonte Jones, 6-foot-6 senior forward, Cal State Northridge
COMMITTED TO USC

Jones played his first two seasons in junior college before he signed with Cal State Northridge.
