  • expert. Joined ESPN in 2014.
  • Graduate of University of Delaware.Class rankings in college basketball have actually long been reserved for high school recruiting, where we compare each program’s group of inbound college freshmen. But with the increased focus on the transfer portal and the majority of high-major programs opting for the older players over high school seniors, we have actually included transfer class rankings to the offseason rotation.In specific ways, doing these is more difficult than for hiring classes. First-year coaches are bringing in 8

    to 10 transfers. Other programs may need only one or more players to complete the lineup. Some were looking for depth, some for high-end skill. Some were going for one-year players with experience, others are searching for more youthful players with space to grow.Nevertheless, we’re trying, with a Rick Pitino vs. Kentucky battle for No. 1 to begin this first edition. Bryce Hopkins(17.0 PPG at Providence )Oziyah Sellers (13.7 PPG at Stanford)Joson Sanon(11.9 PPG at Arizona State)Ian Jackson(11.9 PPG at North Carolina)Dylan Darling(19.8 PPG at Idaho State)Dillon Mitchell(9.9 PPG at Cincinnati)
    Handje Tamba (10.5 PPG at Milligan-
    NAIA) St. John’s narrowly got the leading area. The Red Storm had big success last season leaning on a skilled boundary group built from the transfer website, and they’re wishing to do the same in 2025-26.
    Rick Pitino landed five top-100 transfers, led by previous first-team All-Big East choice Hopkins and former top-25 recruits Jackson and Sanon. Sellers adds shooting, and Mitchell brings an appealing amount of versatility. Jackson and Sanon are not natural point player, so Beloved offers insurance at that position. play 1:56 Ian Jackson’s finest plays of the season Take a look at Ian Jackson’s leading minutes with UNC this previous season after news of his transfer to St. John’s.

    OH))Mark Pope likewise landed 5 top-100 transfers,
    and if it were guaranteed that
    Quaintance would be healthy for the start
    of the season, the Wildcats might have the leading spot. They’re likewise relying more on leaps from increasing sophomores and advances from last season’s rotation players. However this group has the best mix of talent and tested production, and Pope will likely launch to four of the transfers. The secret to the season might be Quaintance, who might miss out on time after suffering a torn ACL in late February. Yaxel Lendeborg(17.7 PPG at UAB )Elliot Cadeau (9.4 PPG at North Carolina)Morez Johnson Jr. (7.0 PPG at Illinois)Aday Mara (6.4 PPG at UCLA)Dusty Might had Danny Wolf, among last season’s most impactful transfers, and he must have one again in Lendeborg, who withdrew from the NBA draft at the due date

    in spite of being a projected first-round pick. He’s likely to be among 3 transfer starters for the Wolverines, who are bringing in four players ranked in the top 51 of ESPN’s top 100 transfers.

    of the best shooters in the ACC last season, tearing down much better than 42 %from deep. Two of the 3 will likely begin along with freshman Mikel Brown in an elite backcourt.
