- Transfer portal closes at midnight April 21, ending the window for players to enter the system.
- Milan Momcilovic leads the 247Sports rankings at No. 2, shooting 48.7% from three and weighing NBA draft options.
- John Blackwell remains all‑in on college, with interest from Duke, Illinois, Louisville and UCLA after averaging 19.1 points per game.
- Allen Graves could be a first‑round NBA pick if he stays in the draft, but is still listed among the top uncommitted transfers.
- NBA draft deadline is April 24 11:59 p.m. ET, and players can withdraw until May 27 to retain college eligibility.
Why it matters: Coaches gain a clearer recruiting window as six of the top ten transfers stay uncommitted, forcing programs to lock in talent before the April 21 deadline; players risk losing draft eligibility if they delay decisions.
