It didn't take long to see the effects of the NCAA's decision to push back the start date of the men's basketball transfer window by one week.

When the transfer portal closed last year, there were around 2,100 players. This year, there were already around 1,000 players in the portal by the end of the first day.

More have entered since -- and we're updating our ranking of the top 100 transfers accordingly. Bookmark this page to follow additional updates until the window closes Tuesday.

Note: Rankings as of April 18.


1. RJ Luis Jr., 6-7, SF, Jr., St. John's

The Big East Player of the Year and a second-team All-American, Luis was one of the biggest breakout stars in college basketball this past season. He averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds, leading the Red Storm to Big East regular-season and tournament titles.

2. PJ Haggerty, 6-3, PG, Soph., Memphis

A massive boost to the portal late in the window, Haggerty was one of the best guards in the country in 2024-25. He was named AAC Player of the Year and a second-team All-American after averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists this past season.

3. Bennett Stirtz, 6-4, PG, Jr., Drake

Committed to Iowa

Stirtz played one season at Drake and led the Bulldogs to the second round of the NCAA tournament, winning Missouri Valley Player of the Year honors along the way. He averaged 19.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists and was terrific in the postseason. Now, he is following Ben McCollum to Iowa.

4. Yaxel Lendeborg, 6-9, PF, Sr., UAB Blazers

Committed to Michigan

One of the most productive players in college basketball over the past two seasons, Lendeborg has put together back-to-back double-double campaigns. He averaged 17.7 points, 11.4 rebounds (fourth in the country) and 4.2 assists this past season.

5. Darrion Williams, 6-6, SF, Jr., Texas Tech

Williams is currently projected as a second-round pick in June's NBA draft, so he could still return to school. The first-team All-Big 12 pick was incredible in the NCAA tournament, averaging 23.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his final three games after averaging 15.1 points on the season.
