College Basketball Transfer Portal (LIve Updates)

NOTE: I WILL BE ADDING MORE AS MORE PLAYERS CHANGE TEAMS

Terrell Brown

Arizona-Washington:

Brown will be joining the Huskies as a grad transfer. He averaged 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists this season. Expect an increased role for Brown this season. 

Grade: B-

Storm Murphy 

Wofford-Virginia Tech

Murphy will be a grad transfer as well. Playing for current Virginia Tech coach and former Wofford coach Mike Young, Murphy played in an NCAA Tournament. His 18 points a game will be huge in replacing transfer guard Jalen Cone

Grade: B+

KJ Buffen

Ole Miss-UAB

Buffen is a huge get for Andy Kennedy’s team, a group that was 2 wins away from playing in March Madness. Buffen will be a key factor in UAB’s plans this upcoming season. 

Grade: B

Stef Smith

Vermont-St. John’s 

I really like this pickup. St. John’s lost a few key players from last year’s team, but Stef Smith should come in and play well from the jump. He averaged 13.6 points last season. 

Grade: A-

Al Durham

Indiana-Providence

This might be the sleeper move of the whole transfer class. Durham provides a physicality factor that Providence just simply didn’t have last year. Durham’s experience and defensive abilities could turn Providence into a Big East contender. 

Grade: A

Tyson Walker

Northeastern-MSU

This is in my opinion the best move in the portal so far. Walker was an All-CAA first team member, and fills a point guard need. This kid dropped 27 vs UNC. He is a very good player and will help Michigan State in what is the hopes of another deep tournament run. 

Grade: A+

Oscar Tshiebwe

WVU-Kentucky

Tshiebwe is a double-double machine. He will most likely start and make a huge impact (especially defensively and on the glass) for a talented squad. 

Grade: A-

Kellan Grady

Davidson-Kentucky

Grady is the definition of consistency. He averaged over 17 points in each of his four seasons at Davidson. His numbers may not be that high with Big Blue Nation, but he will be a huge help in forgetting this embarrassing campaign and getting back to their regular ways. 

Grade: A

Caleb Mills

Houston-FSU

Mills was the American Conference Preseason Player of the Year, but only played 4 game this year for Houston. The Seminoles will greatly appreciate his presence. 

Grade: A

Zep Jasper

College of Charleston-Auburn

Jasper averaged over 15 points a game last season. He should be huge this year for the fighting Tigers. 

Grade: B+

AJ Bramah

Robert Morris-Arizona State

Bramah averaged 21 and 10 at Robert Morris. Arizona State will benefit with Bramah after their most atrocious season in a long time. 

Grade: A

Jay Heath

Boston College-Arizona State

Another huge pickup for the Sun Devils. Heath scored 15 points a game at BC. Arizona State is looking better as of now than just a week ago. 

Grade: A-
