Transfer Portal Basketball Rankings 2023-24

May 4, 2023

Updated basketball transfer portal rankings by adjusted efficiency (ADJeff) for the 2023-2024 season.

This ranking takes into account player efficiency rating adjusted for strength of schedule and a few other factors. Efficiency is simply a statistical impact per possession. One aspect to be aware of in talking about efficiency is that most elite post players usually perform better in the metric. This makes sense as they typically have higher true shooting percentages from getting easier shots closer to the rim.

Having players that score higher efficiency points, rebound, and block shots at higher levels is highly important in the game. It always has been a game dominated by mostly bigger humans of which there are fewer. Finding those players is important on any team.

These are the top 400 out of 1700+ transfers

Top Transfers Class Rankings

	Thoughts On Noteworthy Prospects (alphabetical by first name)
B.J. Mack	Mack took a step back last year while Wofford’s SOS was way down. That concerns me some and the lack of a defensive (He had a 109 DRTG). The better rebounders/defenders above him are safer picks IMO for that reason. You really have to bring Mack in to be an offensive force to have value with his defense and rebounding (10.8 per 100 possessions) being so weak.
Bryant Selebangue	The numbers say he’s great, and it’s hard to argue with how productive he is. It’s not even just this year, he averaged a double-double in JUCO’s as well and shot 69% from the floor there. At Tulsa, he shot over 61% and averaged 9.2rpg and 12ppg vs a strong SOS. It’s a little hard for me to reconcile that with how bad Tulsa was at 5-25 324 NET. How much is he to blame with a .61% true shooting and a positive overall net rating on that 116 Ortg despite playing on a team ranked 349th. The culpability seems to be on the defensive end where Tulsa was 354th, and he had a 109 DRtg. That was better than the team overall indicating he was one of their better defensive players, but that’s still really bad team and overall. He really needs to find a home with a good defensive big that can hit some threes and give him some space. Center is the most important defensive position and ff he’s got to anchor a defense that’s probably bad. He’s a good player but fit around him seems important.
Caleb Love	I think Love is pretty overrated in general, and even by our own model which will rank him lower than most I expect. His impact is being derived from being a high usage player. One with a very low efficiency last three years. His true shooting percentage has been well below average. (.491% this season). If Love were looking for a more appropriate role where he could be a lower usage player or 3rd scoring option then I would see it differently. I doubt that is the goal. I think he’s shown he can shoot better at least on open three’s when there are better offensive options around him like Brady Manek taking the pressure off. It will be interesting to see where he goes. If he’s in a lead scoring focus and focus of the defense as he was on the North Carolina I would expect similar results, which was partially why North Carolina underachieved and were in need of a floor spacer shooting 31% as a team.
Chris Ledlum	I watch some Chris Ledlum highlights, he seems to have a decent handle and able to play some on the wing. He will take some outside shots but is under 30% More of a small ball PF. Will that work as well at his next stop if it’s at the highest levels is the question.
Cobe Williams	18.8ppg, 4.1apg, 2.0spg .344% from three on good volume, gets to the line and makes three’s in a strong Conference USA this year. The size at 5’11 seems to be the only question and I doubt it’s much of one moving from Conference USA. He will be one of the bst best point guards in the portal.
Dame Adelekun	His per 100’s in rebounds and blocks are off the charts. These are two of the more translatable stats leveling up. He also has a career 94 DRTG. He doesn’t need to score to bring value and that has value and can be a strong defensive player.
Denver Jones	A 20 point per game score is hard to pass up, especially one from a top 10 conference like CUSA was this season. He was extremely efficient despite being one of the only good options on FIU. He still had a .607% true shooting for a guard which is incredible. He has good size at 6-4 as well. I believe our model probably underrates him a little to be as efficient as he is on a bad team. He was the focus of defenses every night with little help and still scored at an elite level.
Jameer Nelson	He seems a little low on the surface, but the numbers came vs a poor SOS. 20.6ppg on .556 true shooting is still pretty strong regardless. The problem is he’s only .307% from three and a career 31% player at 6-1 isn’t ideal. I question could he get to the line as much moving back up which is where his value came from. He was at George Washington previously (10ppg 12.6 PER) at a high major. Son of a former NBA All Star.
Jamison Battle	This is a tough one to rank. If healthy he is a top ranked transfer. He averaged 17.5ppg, 6.3rgp , 18.3 PER, but it’s also entirely possible he’s a 9 PER player today that struggled after having a foot surgery 10 days before the season. The truth is, he’s probably somewhere in between those extremes if I was projecting, so I split the two seasons. I usually believe if you have hit a ceiling and shown you can get there, you can get back and go more that direction. He also has an injury that may have just diminished his ability, so there is a real concern that might not be true in this particular case. It wasn’t just a shooting slump that caused the drop. One thing in his favor is he never had recovery time last year going into the season and playing 35 minutes a game shortly after surgery. More recovery time and hopefully he will be back to form but I don’t have strong confidence either way. Another alarming thing is he didn’t improve as the season went on which I looked for as a sign of hope.
Fardaws Aimaq	The WAC is solid, and the 2 time WAC Defensive Player didn’t do anything to discredit what he did there. He played 11 games at Texas Tech this season. All 11 were vs Big 12 teams starting in January. If anything playing as well as he did vs the best conference in the nation after dropping in mid-season strengthens it for me. He has the size and pedigree to play anywhere and help as one of the best big man portal options.
Graham Ike	Ike was injured just before the season. It was a right foot injury initially only supposed to keep him sidelined 6 to 8 weeks. Roughly 10 weeks later in February, he was shut down for the season. Maybe he could have come back, but Wyoming’s season was done at that point after securing a losing record which could have been at play as well. It’s troubling that he couldn’t get healthy in the initial timetable, but the injury doesn’t sound that serious. While it certainly doesn’t help to miss the season with an injury I wouldn’t categorize it in the same category as an ACL or the more serious injuries players often are coming back from. If he’s reasonably healthy and similar to the player that led Wyoming to an at large 12 seed bid he’s one of the best transfer for sure. He averaged nearly 20 and 10 very efficiently. He also anchored a strong defense with a 95.1 defensive rating as the primary big man. Wyoming was #58 NET on the season. He’s a proven elite player. The only question is if the injury has diminished his abilities. He’s ready to compete for a high major .
Hakim Hart	We got a little push back on this ranking, but I don’t know why. Hart played 32 minutes a game and was solid across the board on a Maryland team ranked 31st in NET that went to the 2nd round of the NCAA’s. He’s clearly a very good player with a long track record. How would you not rank a guy like that highly? The numbers are the numbers.
Harrison Ingram	Ingram is a former 16th ranked consensus players who was pretty productive on a losing Stanford team. The percentages need to come up but perhaps on a more talented team he will get more open looks. at 6-8, 230 he averaged 3.7 assist in 28 minutes and rebounded well with 5.8. He should fit in on a lot of teams he’s not asked to score on and can just play a role.
Hunter Dickinson	There is no question who is the best player in the portal now, and unless Edey hits the portal that’s unlikely to change this year. Dickinson is one of the best players in college basketball. He could be a conference player of the year where ever he goes. He’s rock solid over 3 years now performing at basically the same level. He blocks shots, he makes his free throws, he has great hands, he can hit some three pointers. His defensive rating was a solid 98.5 this season as well. To play at this level while staying out of foul trouble at his size and position for the amount of minutes he does is a different level. He had a good NIL deal from what I’ve read but I expect this will be the portals first true bidding war. He’s essentially biggest fish ever in this new college basketball free agency since NIL has started and may be able to make more money than if he entered the nba draft and was a second round pick.
Khalif Battle	Khalif Battle started his career at the the Big East at Butler but has missed large parts of seasons 2 of the last 3 years at Temple. He was mostly healthy this season and had a strong year. He shot 90% from the free throw line and averaged 18ppg on solid efficiency as the number one option. In a better system that’s not your turn, my turn isolation like it was with Damien Dunn at Temple I think he could be an even better three point shooter. He was solid at 35% for the volume he took, but on a better team likely gets more catch and shoot threes. The FT percentage indicates higher upside shoot the ball. I like his upside on a better team.
Jack Clark	Clark was very good this season helping NC State return to the NCAA’s. The numbers are the numbers, but I am a little more skeptical than most prospects at the top level around him since he wasn’t this good at LaSalle. He could have improved, but some of it is certainly from being asked to do less scoring and seeing his percentages skyrocket. It will be interesting to see where he goes and what role he has. If it’s to rebound, defend, and disrupt and score around the rim with low usage in a similar role as on NC State he could fit anywhere. If he’s trying to be find a school he can be have more usage and top scoring option on the offensive end again that’s less ideal.
Jae’lyn Withers	Another player whose career is all over the place. As a freshman he was awesome averaging 10ppg 7rpg with a 22 PER and 96 Drtg for a 58 NET team. This season as a 2 year older player he averaged 9 and 5 with a 12 PER and 111 Drtg for a 300+ ranked bad team . How do you rank a player like this? I think the player he was as a freshman still exist but I had to ding him for the last two years as well. What I did was take his career efficiency (15.1 PER) and SOS numbers. A new coach should be able to get more out of him.
Jaemyn Brakefield	A former transfer from Duke. He was highly productive last season vs a strong SOS. He also has a pedigree of being ranked 33rd in his high school class and four star recruit. Highly efficient with a .631 True Shooting, 3rd in the SEC to go along with a career 35% three-point shooter as well.
Jakwon Walton	He checks all the boxes, 6-7, as a former top 75 recruit that started at Georgia befor moving to Wichita State. He shot over 40% on decent volume from three. 78% from the line. He was a top JUCO in our rankings last year as well and actually performed similarly at WSU. Even better in some areas which indicates he’s getting better. He probably should be higher in the rankings as a versatile forward.
Jalen Cook	Cook is a big time player who originally started his career in the SEC at LSU. We assume will be trying to find his way back to the P6 and bigger NIL money. It will be interesting to see what the NCAA does with him on this 2nd transfer. Unlike many that are transferring a 2nd time as graduates he only has 3 years in school. He is likely to not have graduated. There could be a chance he has to sit out but has years left.
Jamarion Sharp	Being a 7’5 player is always noteworthy in basketball. There are only so many people this size in the world and many times they are pushed towards basketball and many are not good. Sharp is one of the better players at that height IMO. He’s thin for his size, but he has shown the ability to defend the rim for 4 years now in JUCO’s and at WKU. He has blocked over 4 shots a game each of the last two seasons in CUSA. He also averaged a steal a game which is pretty impressive out of position disruption and hands as well. He dunks everything around the rim as a career .67% FG shooter. There is a lot to like about him as a defensive presence and high level shot blocker. with his career 91.6 defensive rating. WKU had issues this season, but he was a bright spot.
Javon Small	Small missed the last 15 games with an injury. The numbers are strong on the surface, but all but 5 games were against one of the worst OOC schedules in the nation at East Carolina. In the 5 AAC games he played the numbers were very poor.
Jaylen Wells	His numbers were ridiculous in D2, but he has no reported interest list to gauge at this point. He’s a hard one to place with so different outcomes for D2’s. Some are great others flop. At this level of numbers though I haven’t seen complete failures. 22.4ppg, 8.7rpg, 2.6rpg .438% from three on good volume (1.5 a game made) .861% FT’s while getting to the line 6.7 times a game. His team was 13-17, but I don’t think he can be blamed. I watched some highlights, and he has some wing skills at 6-7 and a quick enough release. His shooting seems elite at any level the way he hits free throws. At 200lbs he’s kind of a tweener and might not be able to play PF well if he can hold up at SF. Rebounds well enough I think it works.
J.J Starling	He has the top 25 high school five star prospect recruiting pedigree, but only a .482 true shooting in actual practice in a down ACC last season in his first season. He didn’t do much else rather than score (11.2ppg) inefficiently in nearly 30 minutes a game (2.8rpg, 1.1apg). He’s from NY and has already committed to Syracuse and is an upside prospect based on his five star prospect high school recruiting. That has some value, but I care less about that than what they do on the court.
John Hugley	Hugley left Pitt after 8 games. Since he was reportedly out of shape I used how he played in those 8 games against him in the rankings until he proves he can regain form. If he comes in more motivated next season he’s a player that averaged 14.8ppg, 7.9rpg, and had a 21 PER in a stronger ACC in 2021-22 and would be one of the elite transfers available.
Jonathan Pierre	Pierre helped Jim Crutchfield finally win a D2 national title. He has the size (6’9) and skill 14.4ppg, 5.2rpg, 3.2apg in only 23.3 minutes a game.. He shot 40.5% from three on 62 makes, and 82.3% from the line. He certainly seems to have shooting ability and some ball skill averaging 3.3apg. Sekou Sylla averaged 22.5ppg and 10rpg last year for Nova before transfering up. He averaged 6ppg 4rpg at Towson. That’s the only bit of information that is a little concerning as Crunchifield’s system inflates the stats. Sylla didn’t have the shooting ability or lenght that Pierre does as an undersized PF. It’s just something to note as he entered his first season in D1 for the player of the year.
Josh Oduro	A highly, highly efficient player over multiple seasons now. Kim English is bringing him to the Big East with him which him. That should help get Providence off to a better start. GMU wasn’t great, but Oduro was. He was had a strong defensive rating the last 3 seasons as well.
Joshua Cohen	Strong number but vs the 358th SOS. The numbers are hard to ignore, but moving up he won’t be asked to score as much and the defense is suspect. Still, I haven’t seen any players put up a 30 PER, move up, and completely fail. If he had a 3-pointer or shot better from the FT line I would have more faith. He has a good net rating, but he’s playing almost 34 minutes a game anchoring the defense of a 355th-ranked team and 355th in adjusted Defense on kenpom. That’s hard to overlook no matter how strong the efficiency is. I’d probably take him higher anyway. I’m not sure how he will hold up on the defensive end and isn’t much of a rim protector.
Kel’el Ware	Talk about an embarrassment of riches. Ware was great when he was on the court this season. He looked the part of a top-ranked recruit and performed that way when he got to play. He just didn’t get but 16 minutes a game with N’Faly Dante putting up a 29 PER. It’s understandable Altman played Dante, but if you can’t find a way to get Ware on the court it’s not surprising he would transfer. The former five star recruit coming out of high school is probably still the best nba draft prospect in the transfer portal.
Kadin Shedrick	A top 65 recruit out of high school, he’s been highly productive when he’s gotten to play. He’s only averaging 17 minutes a game over his career. If you are going to play a player like Francisco Caffaro 8 to 17 minutes the last two years doing a lot less, it’s likely you will lose a player this productive that could be playing 25+ minutes elsewhere. I think you need to invest the minutes over the season in the young guys putting up 25 PER’s, or you should expect a player to enter the transfer portal. A very solid rim protector.
Kalib Boone	When you just look at the raw numbers I can understand how maybe you miss it, but the coaches in the Big 12 didn’t. He was All Big 12 despite only playing 21 minutes a game. You have to be mega dominating to have that respect in that many minutes. Just from an advanced numbers perspective he’s a clear third in the rankings and there is a big gap between him and 4th. It’s not just this season or level of production, he’s played over 2000 minutes in his career with a consistent 25 PER and a career 95 DRtg. If UNLV unleashes him he’s going to put up some big numbers. It really seems like a minutes issue, much like Zach Edey just needed the minutes last year. I’d much rather have him than some former five star prospect who couldn’t do anything he’s consistently ranked behind several. He’s easily one of the best players on the transfer market and is an underatted rim protector.
LJ Cryer	A member of the Baylor National Championship team who was playing 32 minutes a game and averaging 15 points in a staring role on a top 10 team. I’m really not sure what he is looking for here or what might of moved him to transfer as a Baylor transfer is unusual. Maybe it’s just NIL but this one is one of the more strange moves. He could certainly find himself in a worse situation.
Mason Walters	The NAIA player of the year and a 4 time All American. He has size at 6’9 225 and obvious skill with his shooting splits. (64/37/83%) He even blocked almost 2 shots a game while averaging 26.6ppg and 9.4rpg and 3.1apg. Two of his previous seasons he averaged 11.5+ rpg as well. I think he will be very successful and deserves a promotion. He’s hard to rank but I could see a high major program recruiting him hard. Player of the year on any level has to get you attention.
Olivier Nkamhoua	This one is a little surprising. Nkamhoua was the 2nd leading scorer for a top ranked Tennessee. They play a lot of players and I guess he is looking for a bigger role and chance to standout on All Conference teams. I’m not sure he will really have more viability if he’s trying to find his own team that isn’t as strong. Water finds its level. He’s a good player obviously, but he wasn’t putting up 25+ PER’s and had a solid role on a top 20 Sweet 16 team.
Primo Spears	16ppg but on a low .480 true shooting. He was asked to do too much on a bad team and it showed. That said 5.3 assist a game (3.3 turnovers) vs that kind of SOS is something. If he wasn’t asked to score as much on another team he likely ups his efficiency with less pressure. He also played 37.3 minutes a game which is a hard ask vs Big East-level competition. He could look fresher in less of a role to I think. 3.3 turnovers isn’t too bad playing that kind of minute and usage.
Qudus Wahab	I used last year’s numbers for Wahab, but he’s had a season in the past where he was even better statistically. He also anchored a decent defense that season with a 99.4 defensive rating. He still managed to be a positive player in a mess of a team this season last year but it’s hard to look past how terrible they were on defense as well. I chalk a lot of that up to the coaching and not being put in the right situation. He been a productive player for 3 seasons at a high major program.
Rienk Mast	Mast was a highly productive 6’9 player on a top 75 NET NIT team. He can shoot some threes, facilitate a little, and has a good defensive rating. I could see a similar type of impact to Grant Basile from last year if he moves up to the P6.
Shahada Wells	Wells only played 17 minutes a game at TCU last year, but he was behind some high level players. He was productive in his back up minutes at TCU still. Previously he averaged 16.8ppg at UT-Arlington 2 seasons ago with a 22.8 PER. I think he’s still that quality of player in search of the right situation.
Skyy Clark	Clark was the consensus 32nd ranked player in his high school class, but did very little in 13 games at Illinois. Only 8 of the 13 games came against P6 competition as well. Even of the below average stats he put up most of the value was against Lindenwood a first year D1 team that he dropped 19 points on 8-9 shooting on. 13 games isn’t the largest sample ever, but it’s a decent size at 318 minutes played to have some idea. I checked his high school stats, and he is probably a better shooter than he displayed but the numbers are the numbers until he proves it. His rank is probably even a little kind since I still gave him credit for the full Big Ten SOS.
Tramon Mark	Tramon Mark comes from a strong Houston program. This is another transfer I don’t know what he’s looking for. Heading to Arkansas he may find his role is less as they are typically a deeper team and play more players. He struggled beyond the arc last two seasons to impact player on a team this good. He’s more of a role player.
Tyrese Samuel	When I looked at the numbers I wasn’t that impressed, but initially. 11ppg 6rpg in 24 minutes, but he had a .582 true shooting and was solid most everywhere on a solid NIT level team. He doesn’t block a lot of shots, but he had a 94.2 Defensive Rating as well anchoring the post and a 97.4 career rating indicating he’s a good defender for a high major program. The numbers are the numbers and I think you just trust this one. He has a track record with an 18.8 PER last year. He’s one of the best bigs.
Will Baker	The starter on an NCAA at large team at Nevada. He also has a top recruiting pedigree out of high school former five star recruit. It all checks out including the numbers to be one of the best in the college basketball transfer portal.

The transfer portal thread is getting a little unwieldy. We have moved some of our earlier transfer portal profiles and thoughts here.

Last year we focused heavily on the transfer portal and since have studied how our highest-ranked ones were performing this season. Hopefully, we will be able to learn and improve on the rankings. This year’s model has been adjusted some, especially for minutes per game. We’ll compare next season, and continue to evolve it to where the information takes us.

College Basketball Transfer Study

We included each player’s peak-PER (Player Efficiency Rating) as a per-possession all-in-one stat that most people are aware of. It’s not the end all be all, but it is a marker for those that understand the general level of conference and competition it’s against by if it’s a high major program. We’ve also weighted it against SOS for Adjusted Efficiency (ADJeff). There will be some divergences if players have these seasons earlier in their careers they get less credit for it for example. More recent seasons are weighted heavier in our rankings, but we believe in the proven ceiling that peak seasons show. If you have gotten there we will believe you can get back. Of course, if injuries or other factors exist (Example: Jamison Battle, etc) and have slowed a player that will be taken into account. Minutes per games is also a factor. If a player plays over 23 minutes a game that is better for example. Lower than 15 minutes a game is usually not included. Defensive rating are also considered for post players. We care more about results than if the players was a former five star prospect. That’s ancillary information we’ll include but has less relevance if they preformed poorly or if if it was several years ago.

It’s important to remember transfers are only eligible for one free transfer in college basketball. The NCAA council recently voted to limit the waivers for a second transfer. The NCAA was as generous as usual with waivers for players who had transferred many times by the fall, contrary to what was believed to be the procedure last spring. It appears that there will now be a greater attempt to crack down on underclassmen who seek to transfer a second time without compelling reasons.

If there are any second-time transfers, I would anticipate that the NCAA would be harder on them given their candid acknowledgment and public vote. They seem to have made it very obvious to players and coaches that this is how the process will alter and enter the transfer portal knowing this. Grad transfers with four seasons will be in a different bucket. Most playes will need four seasons to graduate.

In a larger sense, this means that it once more tips the scales substantially more in favor of recruiting the portal than it already did for schools. I think almost everyone knows it’s risky to recruit high numbers of high school players and ignore the portal If you can land transfer players that were underclassmen now you can essentially lock them in for multiple years and increase stability, especially at the lower levels entering the transfer portal where players are looking to move up.

Top Freshman Transfers

These are high-value transfers to pay attention to, that are using their free transfer while coming off a strong freshman season. With the NCAA saying they will crack down on 2nd transfers, they are more encumbered unless they want to sit out for a 2nd transfer. They could be locked in multiple seasons where ever they go. Unlike transfers of the past, they will not have to sit out and are unlikely to graduate early and be able to leave as a senior. These are the recruits a high major program will covet the most in the college basketball transfer portal coming off a strong freshman season, especially if it was at a high major.
