College basketball transfer portal team rankings for 9 best men’s classes so far

The transfer portal was in full swing in basketball for men’s col scoopers well before the Florida Gators cut the nets like the National Champions 2025. The portal will come off on April 22 and until that time no team is safe to see one of their players test the open market. There is no deadline for when players have to commit, so it will take months before schedules have been completed throughout the country. Yet there are a sub -program that has already done a great job.

Many of the top players in the transfer portal have already committed themselves as new names participate every day. NBA concept decisions are also starting to come in, with Byu’s Egor Demin and Jase Richardson by Michigan State among the players who recently explained. Sub of the best transfer portal players test the draft process and will have to make a decision before 15 June at the university versus the pros.

Early winners of the transfer portal are already on the rise because the window will remain open for another week. Here is how we would rank the best Transfer Portal classes from men’s basketball teams this season.

9. LSU

Addition: G Didan Thomas (Unlv), G Rassoard King (Northeastern), Forward Marquel Sutton (Omaha), C Michael Nwoko (Mississippi State), G Max Mackinnon (Portland)

Matt McMahon is 0-out-3 when making the NCAA tournament at LSU so far, but he is ready to come back to the SEC mix with the additions he arrives for next season. Dedan Thomas is a Shifty 6’1 guard who showed that he can infringe the bunce and subbull-up three at UNLV for the past two years. Michael Nwoko comes by after having spent a season in Miami and Mississippi State as a 6’10 center that can clean the glass and block shots, but does not have many attacking skills. Summit League Player of the Year Marquel Sutton has also committed as an athletic 6’8 wing that can get buckets as a face-up score. Northeastern Transfer Rashard King will add more scoring punch to the circumference. For now, the impressive department of the class of LSU deserves a place on this list.

8. Texas

Addition: Dailyn Swain (Xavier), Camden Heide (Purdue), C Matas Vokietaitis (Florida Atlantic)

Sean Miller left Xavier for Texas this season, and immediately took his best long -term perspective with the musketeers with him. Dailyn Swain looks like an NBA player when he walks into the gym as a athletic, long-armed 6’8 ahead. He will add versatile defensively, Rand ends and the transition track on the Lonchorns, but his three -point shot remains a big hole in his game. Camden Heide can add a little shooting after 39.2 percent of his attempts to Purdue. Heide did not play a major role in the boiler makers in his first two seasons, but he did have an epic tip dunk in the 2024 National Championship Game and a super-efficient scoring season (66 perent True Shiming) as the second year last year. He is not much a playmaker for teammates, but Heide could make a big leap next year as a scorer in Austin. Matas Vokietaitis is a 7-photo in the Voorhof that comes from a solid first-year season in Florida Atlantic. Texas can use more play, but Miller is still a nice start.

7. Washington

Addition: G Wesley Yates III (USC), C Lathan Sommerville (Rutgers), C Mady Traore (Maryland), G Quimari Peterson (East Tenessee State), f Jacob Ognacevic (Lipscomb)

The first season of Washington in the Big ten was a last place in the 18-team competition. Head coach Danny Sprinkle needs a bunceback in his second season, and he has so far been interviewed in Angouch talent in the portal to give the Huskies a chance. Wesley Yates III comes from a great first -year season at USC, where the 6’4 guard had an average of 14.1 points per match with 43.9 percent three -point shooting and solid defense. He will be accompanied by East Tennessee State Transfer Quimari Peterson, who was just named Socyer of the year after leading the conference in points per game, steals per game. and three -point percentage. Jacob Ogancevic is another conference player of the annual winner in the Atlantic Sun as a 6’8 attacker who had an average of 20 points per match and made 40 percent of the three of them. Lathan Sommerville is ground, meaty big man (6’10, 275 pounds) who had a solid first year for Rutgers last season. Add a few top-50 incoming first-year recruits and the pieces are in place for Washington to try to go to the afternoon of the peloton in the BIG the next year.

6. Georgetown

Addition: G deshawn Harris-Smith (Maryland), G KJ Lewis (Arizona), G Langston Love (Baylor), F Duncan Powell (Georgia Tech), F Isaiah Abraham (Uconn)

Ed Cooley, you missed the NCAA tournament in its first two seasons as head coach at Georgetown, but next season will be his most talented team, but after his additions to the portal. KJ Lewis has been a major contribution to Arizona as Athletic 6’5 guard who defends and is cut to the basket, but has no reliable external sweater. Langston Love will add more stability to the defense half after a solid three-yare career at Baylor, and hopefully his sweater can go back after a down junior season according to his standards. Duncan Powell is a 6’8 forward that can stretch the floor slightly (35.8 factory from three out of 4.5 attempts per game) from Georgia Tech. Deshawn Harris-Smith went to the top 30 National Recruit in Maryland for his athletics, defensive versatility and cutting, but he got out of the grace of the Terps last year. The biggest piece for Georgetown is the Thomas Sorber center, which we have projected as a first round of NBA concept choice, but can also return. With Sorber and shooting a little more, it will look like a Big East Competent next year, but it will be difficult to keep him at the university if he pulls the top 20 at the latest.

5. Creighton

Addition: G/F Josh Dix (Iowa), C Owen Freeman (Iowa), G Nik Graves (Charlotte)

Ryan Kalkbrenner is finally no longer eligible after the legendary career at Creighton, but the Bluejays still have to be very good with the class head coach Gregg McDermott. Creighton landed the two best players from Iowa in Josh Dix and Owen Freeman. Dix is ​​a deadly 6’6 shoter that just downloaded 42 factory of his three last season, while Freeman is an interior button scorer who will take the old Kalkbrenner post. McDermott also added Nik Serious from Charlotte to add the creative capacity as with 6’3 guard who can set up scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. This feels like a transfer class on high floors that will supplement the recurring schedule of the Bluejays.

4. UCLA

Addition: G Donovan Dent (New Mexico), F/C Xavier Booker (Michigan State), G Jamar Brown (Kansas City), C Steven Jamerson (San Diego)

UCLA hit the jackpot with Donovan Dent. The former Point Guard of New Mexico was just named Mountain West Conference Player of the Year after an average of more than 20 points per match as a Pas-Firs Point Guard who likes to push the pace. Xavier Booker becomes the swing piece for this class. A former five -star recruitment, Booker did not come to the ground during his first two years in the state of Michigan, but blocked and scored shots well when he got the chance. Steven Jamerson will offer Front Court Dept as a big man who can swallow rebounds, while Jamar Brown was at 40 percent three-point shooter on the wing in Kansas City. De Bruins also lost a lot of talent in the transfer portal (Aday Mara to Michigan, Sebastian Mack to Missouri, Dylan Andrews to be among them to Boise State), so they need a few more pieces, but Dent gives them a star to keep building around.

3. Louisville

Addition: G Adrian Wooley (Kennew State), F Ryan Conwell (Xavier), G Isaac Mckneely (Virginia)

The cards made the NCAA tournament of 2025 in the first year of Pat Kelsey, which should be considered as Hage -Success after it was fatal Kenny Payne. Now Kelsey is ready to take the next step and put together a team that has the talent to go on a legitimate run. Louisville signed a large scorer in 6’6 Guard Adrian Wooley, who last year resembled the best first-year student of the country with an electric off-the-dribble game and a three-point seizure of 40 percent. Ryan Conwell can also be hurriedly hot. The Xavier transmission is on 6’4 guard who stroked 41 plant of the three of them on high volume and can create his own homes for the edge, even if he is not the best finisher. Isaac Mckneely comes from Virginia as another 42 percent three -point shutter shooter on the circumference. Add the first-year student-Point Guard Mikel Brown Jr. Toe and Louisville has a case like the Top-15 Presaeson team.

2. Kentucky

Addition: C Jayden Quintonce (Arizona State), f Mouhaed Dioubate (Alabama), F Kam Jones (Tulane), G Jaland Lowe (Kentucky)

Mark Pope was excellent in his first year in Kentucky and took a team that was built entirely via the transfer portal to the Sweet 16 without an obvious star. The NBA will be much more interested in Lexington this year with Jayden Quintance on campus. Quintance was the youngest player in college basketball last year at the age of 17, but he was still one of the better defensive men in the country in the state of Arizona. He is a mobile big man with long arms and a strong breast that can blow up Pick-and-Rolls and SWAT shots above the edge. He will be accompanied by Kam Williams, 6’8 Wing that brings versatile defense and knockdown with Tulane with Tulane. Mouhaed Dioubate is another big, athletic attacker who comes from a great first -year season in Alabama. Jaland Lowe comes over from Pitt as a long and agile shot-creating guard who strikes to shoot out of the outer shop. With a lot of talent, returns to the schedule plus two McDonald’s All-American First-year students (guard Jasper Johnson and Center Malachi Moreno), the Wildcats should have one of the better schedules in the country.

1. Michigan

Addition: F/C Yaxel Lendeborg (UAB), F/C Morez Johnson, G Elliot Cadaceau (UNC), C Aday Mara (UCLA)

Dusty May took Michigan from an 8-win team to a Sweet 16 team in his first season as a head coach. He thinks even bigger next season if Eventhing is going according to plan. Yaxel Lendeborg was Argulay the best overall player in the portal as a do-Vavething 6’9 ahead that shots can delensively erase, can clean the glass and be attacked with his mix of scoring and playing. Lendorg will enter the NBA design if he is considered the first round, and Michigan took over it and added two Morented Front Court pieces in Morez Johnson and Aday Mara. Johnson had a striking first -year year in Illinois as an interior scorer and rebounder, while Mara is a competent 7’3 center that can block shots and throw subfantastic passes. Elliot as a gift comes by to add more playmakers. Michigan is the much talent from last year with Danny Wolf who is probably jumping to the NBA, Vlad Goldin from elegility and Tre Donaldson transfer to Miami, but this incoming group is even better … as long as it has Lendeborg.
