1 week ago | bustingbrackets.com | Joey Loose

The transfer portal has been open for nearly a month and there’s already been dozens if not hundreds of moves in the world of college basketball. Regardless of some crazy transfer news and great players changing schools, the portal may have gained its best player yet with this recent announcement from PJ Haggerty, who had an All-American season with Memphis last year. Haggerty is a 6-3 guard out of Crosby, Texas who landed at TCU to begin his collegiate career.

One very important factor in the transfer portal nowadays is that it allows new head coaches to quicker build their programs. Darian DeVries has a lot to prove to the Hoosier faithful in the years to come, but landed another important transfer in Lamar Wilkerson, a talented scorer who comes by way of Sam Houston State. Wilkerson is a 6-4 guard originally from Ashdown, Arkansas who wasn’t exactly on a ton of radars out of high school.

The recent changes to NIL and the transfer portal have created plenty of movement in college basketball and we’re certainly seeing a lot of that again this offseason.

Another season of college basketball came to an end as Florida cut down the nets as NCAA Tournament champions. Five months of action led the Gators to their third national title in program history and a breakthrough moment under head coach Todd Golden, giving him his first taste of that glory and success. The Gators were far from the only great team during a very top-heavy season and postseason in this sport.

Even when the NCAA Tournament is over and the offseason begins in full swing, the coaching carousel still has a way of throwing surprises at us. In something of an unexpected move, Alan Huss is vacating his head coaching position at High Point after two successful seasons, opting to return to Creighton to become the program’s head coach-in-waiting. Huss was born in Decatur, Illinois, played high school ball outside Kansas City, and would spend his entire collegiate playing career at Creighton.
What winning a national title would mean for Florida Basketball head coach Todd Golden

Twenty years ago, Todd Golden was just another player under Randy Bennett at Saint Mary's. While the Gaels have always lived in Gonzaga's shadow in the WCC, this wasn't even the Saint Mary's program we know from recent years. Bennett arrived in 2001 and needed a couple years to get the Gaels on track and Golden was certainly some part of that rise, playing twice in the Big Dance with the school.

While the NCAA Tournament isn’t over, the Transfer Portal has been open for more than a week and the coaching carousel is in full swing. After Villanova’s decision to hire former Maryland coach Kevin Willard, the Terrapins acted somewhat quickly in hiring Buzz Williams away from Texas A&M just over a week after the Aggies season came to a close. Williams is a Texas native who’s had quite the adventure in his coaching career, now taking over his fifth different D1 program as head coach.

After a fantastic effort at South Dakota State last season, Oscar Cluff has found another new home, this time landing at Purdue for his final season of eligibility.

3 weeks ago | bustingbrackets.com | Joey Loose

There’s plenty of action in the Transfer Portal even as the sport’s focus moves towards the Final Four. A major move from Monday saw former North Carolina point guard Elliot Cadeau find his new home, transferring to Michigan for his junior year. A native of Brooklyn, Cadeau rose into a star at the high school level, first in New Jersey and then at Link Academy in Missouri. His recruiting involved a number of interested schools, though Cadeau settled on North Carolina.
