A force to be reckoned with, Dickinson stands out as one of the dominant centers in college basketball, capable of single-handedly taking control of a game.

Kansas, Georgetown, Maryland, and Villanova are also actively pursuing the talented center.

Known for his exceptional shooting prowess, he is regarded as one of the best shooters in the sport. Any program that secures his services can expect an immediate offensive boost to its lineup.
3. Kerr Kriisa – Arizona to West VirginiaKriisa played a pivotal role as the orchestrator of Arizona‘s fast-paced and efficient offense under the guidance of head coach Tommy Lloyd for the past two seasons. Contributing significantly to the Wildcats’ best finish on KenPom since 2015, he now sets his sights on West Virginia, seeking to continue his success in the NCAA Tournament with the Mountaineers.
4. RayJ Dennis – Toledo to BaylorAs the most well-rounded guard available in the transfer portal, Dennis is a true stat sheet stuffer. With impressive averages of 19.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, he is a formidable threat on both ends of the floor. Despite interest from Michigan and Illinois, Dennis has chosen to join Baylor, where he’ll lead a fresh new backcourt for the Bears.
