Yaxel Lendeborg, the No. 1-rated transfer, says he’s torn about whether to stay in the draft or head to Michigan. “I know I just said 60-40 with Michigan, but this whole process is opening my eyes.” https://t.co/AydGQF22sC

Texas Tech transfer Darrion Williams on his decision to enter the portal and what he’s looking for moving forward. One of the best players available in the portal. Williams was mum on teams of interest but Ohio State, Kansas, NC State and more are certainly interested. https://t.co/oKIBRop1gr
