The Core Four – four key updates

1. Former Toledo guard RayJ Dennis announced a transfer to Baylor.

He then transferred to Iowa State but suffered an Achilles injury which caused him to miss last season, never actually suiting up for the Cyclones. He joins an incoming transfer class for the Illini which also includes Marcus Domask, Justin Harmon, Quincy Guerrier and Keaton Kutcher.

The Core Four – four key updates

1. With May 31 being the deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to school (although a few players did not publicly declare their intentions), some of the biggest names to withdraw who are expected to return to their schools were Zach Edey (Purdue), Trey Alexander (Creighton), Terrence Shannon & Coleman Hawkins (Illinois), Branden Carlson (Utah), DaRon Holmes (Dayton), Judah Mintz (Syracuse), Tristan da Silva (Colorado), Tristen Newton (UConn), Reece Beekman (Virginia), AJ Hoggard & Jaden Akins (Michigan State), and Alijah Martin & Johnell Davis (FAU)
2. On the flipside, some of the biggest names to remain in the Draft included Oscar Tshiebwe (Kentucky), Kobe Brown (Missouri), Jaylen Clark (UCLA), Adama Sanogo & Andre Jackson (UConn), Chris Livingston (Kentucky), Brice Sensabaugh (Ohio State), Jordan Walsh (Arkansas), Adam Flagler (Baylor) & Chase Audige (Northwestern)
3. Withdrawing from the NBA Draft but remaining in the transfer portal were Arthur Kaluma (Creighton), Mike Sharavjamts (Dayton), Olivier Nkamhoua (Tennessee), Isaiah Miranda (NC State) and Zyon Pullin (UC Riverside), while Jalen Bridges (Baylor) is considering returning to Baylor as well as the Australian NBL and Antonio Reeves (Kentucky) is considering returning to Kentucky but may explore other options.
4. Richmond forward Tyler Burton announced he will transfer to Villanova. Burton was a Spider four seasons, most recently scoring 19.0 ppg with 7.4 rpg in 2022-23. He adds to Nova’s impressive incoming transfer group which also consists of TJ Bamba, Hakim Hart and Lance Ware. Also announcing a transfer was Kansas big man Ernest Udeh who heads to TCU.
5. Bonus Reminder – players who entered the NBA Draft process and then announced transfers to new schools all withdrew from the Draft as expected, as has been the case in previous years almost without fail, thus I do not consider those withdrawals “breaking news” and they are not listed, whereas to transfer then actually remain in the Draft would be newsworthy

The Core Four – four key updates

1. Duke guard Jeremy Roach announced he would return to the team next year for his senior season. Roach was Duke’s captain last year, scoring 13.6 ppg with 3.1 apg and 2.5 rpg while playing a team-leading 33.2 minutes a game. With Roach coming back Duke now returns their top four leading scorers from last year’s team.

He was at Cal four seasons, becoming a part-time starter in ’21-22, then last season started 26 games, scoring 9.0 points with 3.9 rebounds in 25.3 minutes a game. After losing much of their team to the portal after the coaching change, VCU has also added Max Shulga, Sean Bairstow, Joe Bamisile, Jason Nelson & Roosevelt Wheeler.
3. Transfer portal commitments slowed down this week, but committing included Parker Braun (Santa Clara to Kansas), Zuby Ejiofor (Kansas to St John’s), Naheem McLeod (Florida State to Syracuse), Mady Traore (New Mexico State to Maryland), Delonnie Hunt (Wagner to Richmond) & Sydney Curry (Louisville to Grand Canyon)
4. A few grad transfer names continue to trickle into the portal, including Seth Towns who began his career in 2016 with two seasons at Harvard (averaging 14.2 ppg), sat out the ’18-19 & ’19-20 seasons, then played 25 games off the bench for Ohio State in ’20-21, but has not played since due to injuries. Also entering was Zyon Pullin who averaged 18.3 ppg for UC Riverside last season, and Caleb Love (UNC) decommitted from a transfer to Michigan amidst unconfirmed reports that he might not have been academically admitted, and re-opened his recruitment.

The Core Four – four key updates

1. Penn guard Jordan Dingle will transfer to St John’s. Dingle played three seasons at Penn, averaging 19.5 ppg for his career, and last season putting up 23.4 points, 3.6 rebounds & 2.3 assists a game while shooting 35.6% from 3 on 7.7 attempts a game.
