The 2025 men's college basketball transfer portal experienced significant movement, with around 2,700 players entering, including approximately 2,300 from Division I. Coaches have adapted to become part-strategist, part-general manager in recruiting. Notable transfers include the nation's No. 3 scorer moving to Kansas State, and New Mexico’s elite point guard Dent joining UCLA. Additionally, Michigan secured a high-energy player in Lendeborg, characterized as a do-it-all competitor, while new NC State coach Will Wade added a versatile sharpshooter to his roster.
Nearly 2,700 players jumped into the portal this year -- roughly 2,300 of them from D-I men's basketball alone. That's more movement than a pep band's trombone section, and it's turned today's head coach into a part-strategist, part-general manager.
The nation's No. 3 scorer, who averaged 21.7 points last year, left Memphis, and Manhattan, Kansas, is saying 'Welcome to the Little Apple.' With his length and scoring ability, he can light it up, create turnovers and disrupt passing lanes.
Bruins coach Mick Cronin found his floor general. Dent's downhill dashes will have Pauley Pavilion rockin' like the '70s. An elite point guard, Dent was in the top 15 in both scoring and assists last year while at New Mexico.
In a portal loaded with guards, Lendeborg stands out. Michigan coach Dusty May needed a glue guy and got a super-glue guy! Double-double machine, rim-runner, energy giver.
