Ranking the Best Transfers in College Basketball This Offseason

Transfers have become, over the last handful of years, a major component of recruiting. We’re approaching 800 total transfers for this year.

Think about this: Texas Tech wouldn’t have reached the Final Four without transfers Matt Mooney (South Dakota) and Tariq Owens (St. John’s). Brandon Clarke came to Gonzaga after two years at San Jose State and was one of the best players in the country this season. North Carolina’s top player this season was Cameron Johnson, who came after starting his college career at Pitt.

We’ll give you the top grad transfers and also the top sit-out guys with a brief description of their game provided by a coach who has either coached them or gone up against them. The school lists were provided by the players (and in many instances, they are a list of the schools who have reached out to them).

37) Maurice Calloo, 6-9, 225, PF, Fr., Oklahoma State
Stats: 2.5 ppg, 1.6 rpg
Scout’s take: “Really talented offensively. Great size for a combo forward. Struggled shooting early, but has a good stroke. Needs to compete consistently.”
Schools: Nebraska (visited), UNLV, Virginia Tech, Texas A&M, Oregon, Cal, Vanderbilt

38) Terry Nolan, 6-2, 180, SG, Soph., George Washington
Stats: 10.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg
Scout’s take: “Guards multiple positions and rebounds well. Makes catch and shoot 3s. Needs to work on his handle and shot selection.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO BRADLEY

39) Dalano Banton, 6-8, 190, SF, Fr., Western Kentucky
Stats: 3.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg
Scout’s take: “Versatile guard who can play multiple positions. He played everything from 1 to 4. His best days are ahead of him. Poor man’s Kyle Anderson.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA

40) Nysier Brooks, 6-11, 240, C, Jr., Cincinnati
Stats: 8.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg
Scout’s take: “Big, strong and can really rebound. His strength is on the defensive end of the floor. Not much of a scorer.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO MIAMI

41) Teyvion Kirk, 6-4, 185, SG, Soph., Ohio
Stats: 14.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.5 apg
Scout’s take: “Scoring point/lead guard, great with floaters and mid-range scorer. Elite rebounder for his position. Posts up from point guard/2-guard spot, and has really good touch around the basket. Needs to improve his shooting and decision-making.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO COLORADO STATE

42) Victor Bailey Jr., 6-4, 180, G, Soph., Oregon
Stats: 7.4 ppg
Scout’s take: “I thought Dana Altman should have played him more. He has the size and can shoot it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a key player wherever he lands.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO TENNESSEE

43) JD Notae, 6-2, 180, G, Soph., Jacksonville
Stats: 15.5 ppg, 6.2 rpg
Scout’s take: “Erratic shooter, but can get hot and make a few in a roll. He plays bigger than his size, and that should help him at the higher level.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO ARKANSAS

44) Isaiah Washington, 6-1, 195, PG, Soph., Minnesota
Stats: 4.3 ppg, 2.8 apg
Scout’s take: “Can break you down off the dribble and create his own shot. Has not shown he can consistently shoot the 3 or create for others. Showed flashes in some non-conference games. Struggles defensively and with effort at both ends off the ball.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO IONA

45) Marcus Shaver, 6-2, 185, G, Soph., Portland
Stats: 14.8 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.2 apg, 36% 3-pointers
Scout’s take: “Marcus has a natural ability to score the ball. He is so shifty and quick and impossible to keep in front of you. Defensively, he needs to keep the ball in front and use his great feet to defend without reaching and stabbing for the ball. He has a high IQ on both ends of the court.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO BOISE STATE

46) Cameron Tyson, 6-3, 185, SG, Fr., Idaho
Stats: 13.5 ppg, 43% 30-pointers
Scout’s take: “Can really, really shoot it. Elite-level shooter, but needs to work on the rest of his game.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO HOUSTON

47) Evan Gilyard, 6-0, 165, G, Soph., UTEP
Stats: 13.6 ppg, 3.1 rpg
Scout’s take: “Small, quick lefty guard. Can shoot it.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO NEW MEXICO STATE

48) Neftali Alvarez, 6-2, 165, PG, Fr., Fairfield
Stats: 11.5 ppg, 3.3 apg
Scout’s take: “Strong, solid point guard that can run a team. Better driver than shooter. Very good 15-foot stop-and-pop pull-up. Needs to work on 3-point shot.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO MERCER

49) Connor Vanover, 7-3, 225, C, Fr., California
Stats: 7.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 1.3 bpg
Scout’s take: “He’s a 7-foot-3 four-man who can absolutely shoot the hell out of it. Extremely skilled. Just needs to get stronger, but has the skill and ability to play at the next level.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO ARKANSAS

50) Javan Johnson, 6-7, 200, F, Soph, Troy
Stats: 10.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg
Scout’s take: “The kid has huge upside. No one knows much about him, but he will help a high-major. Has the size and skill.”
Schools: COMMITTED TO IOWA STATE
