If they don't go pro, elite basketball recruits are more likely to transfer than stay put
Posted May 8, 2024
The exodus of once-ballyhooed freshmen was a major undertone of college basketball's 2024 transfer portal cycle. Forty-eight of the top 61 recruits from the Class of 2023 are expected to return to the college ranks next season. Over half (25 of the 48) are in the transfer portal. UNC's Elliot Cadeau and Michigan State's Xavier Booker might be the outliers.
