Transfer portal primer 2024: The needs of every top college basketball program

Team needs for each high-major team in the country and everything else you need to know about the looming transfer portal window.

OKLAHOMA

• Priority: Wings | Le'Tre Darthard and Rivaldo Soares are two rotation wings that Porter Moser will already have to replace. We'll see if there are any others. The SEC has athletes galore, and OU might need to lean on the portal to find another one (or two) unless Kaden Cooper returns and is ready to make a big jump.
• Don’t overlook: Oklahoma could get all five starters back which could make the sell in the portal a bit more interesting.

Ha well that “all five starters” part ignores the fact that Waldo took over for Oweh. But even seeing that aside, I would set the O/U at 2.5 returning starters. Sam figures to be a safe bet, but the others? And FWIW, multi time transfers DO NOT need waivers if they enter the portal in this initial period.

Well if Sam is still the starter next season then we will still have serious problems.

As you'd expect, there are rumors already on Poke players exiting.

Mostly, as of now, Javon Small and/or Brandon Garrison.

OU will likely go after both, you'd assume.

^^^^

Will either end up at OU? Highly unlikely but you know, we'll see.

I hate to be the Debbie Downer but I'd bet any amount of money that they won't.

I agree.

Garrison already has a no contact tag. He has a destination and there's no reason to expect that to be OU.

There are Kansas rumors for Small already.

Not sure this is true....small account. If so, yeah, the kid is 6'7 and can ball. From Nebraska though...could be wanting to play for Hoiberg.

There were people in the Portal less than an hour after it opened. Crazy.

I just watched this kid in the AAC tourney. I like him but he would kind of being too similar to Jalon Moore.

The Jayhawks are the other school in contention early for Garrison.

Is he playing words like coaches- notice he didn't deny he's transferring, just said he's not "officially" in the portal. LOL
