The spring deadline for college basketball’s transfer portal has come and gone, leaving coaches scrambling to finalize their rosters for the upcoming 2024-25 season. This chaotic six-week period has seen some teams emerge as winners, while others have struggled to rebuild their lineups.
Among the winners are powerhouse programs like Kansas, Cal, and Memphis, who have made impactful additions to their rosters through the transfer portal. Schools like Indiana, UCLA, and USC have also bolstered their lineups with key transfers, setting themselves up for success in the upcoming season. DePaul, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Xavier have also made significant moves to strengthen their rosters.
On the flip side, teams like Seton Hall, Miami, and Wisconsin have faced challenges in rebuilding their rosters after losing key players to the transfer portal.

Additionally, the Ivy League as a whole has struggled to attract top talent through the transfer portal, further complicating their roster rebuilding efforts.
As the dust settles from the transfer portal deadline, college basketball fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the stay-or-go decisions of NBA Draft prospects. The landscape of college basketball’s roster picture remains incomplete until these top players have finalized their decisions. Stay tuned for more updates as the offseason progresses and teams work to solidify their lineups for the 2024-25 season.
