2025 College Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker: Xaivian Lee Commits to Florida
The college basketball season might have crowned its champion, but the action is far from over. The transfer portal, now the epicenter of the off-season, remains open until April 22, becoming the focal point for teams nationwide as they seek to bolster their rosters.
Florida Strengthens Backcourt with Xaivian Lee
In a significant move, the Florida Gators landed Xaivian Lee from Princeton, a standout guard pivotal for the defending champions. Florida’s backcourt loses some key players, and Lee, with his exceptional ball-handling and feel for the game, offers an ideal solution. His impressive record of 16.9 points per game and a school-record 165 assists highlights his impact potential.
Auburn Welcomes KeShawn Murphy
Now shifting to the SEC, KeShawn Murphy transitions from Mississippi State to Auburn to fill in the gaps in their frontcourt. Murphy's last season performance saw impressive averages, making him a valuable asset to Auburn.
Ole Miss Rejuvenates with AJ Storr
AJ Storr’s transfer to Ole Miss marks his fourth team journey in college basketball. Struggling to mesh with Kansas, he looks for a fresh start to return to his standout form. His previous performances hint at his capability to fit well into Ole Miss’s system.
NC State Secures Tre Holloman
Tre Holloman is pledging his final season to North Carolina State after a solid tenure at Michigan State. His move represents the end of a successful run with the Spartans, bringing experience and depth to the Wolfpack backcourt.
Other Notable Transfers
Transfers continue to reshape college basketball's landscape—Jarin Stevenson takes his big-man skills from Alabama back home to North Carolina, while UCLA's towering Aday Mara heads to Michigan. Meanwhile, Kansas sees the departure of AJ Storr to Ole Miss.
As the transfer portal remains a bustling hub of activity, teams continue strategizing, predicting reshuffled lineups for the next season. Fans eagerly anticipate which moves will create the biggest impact by the time the 2025 season tips off.
