1. Louisville
Louisville, rebuilding under Coach Pat Kelsey, is targeting 5-8 transfers for 2025-26, leveraging new NCAA rules allowing 15 scholarship players. Djobet’s size and athleticism make him a prime target for a program needing physicality.
He’d want to join for the chance to play a key role in the ACC with a storied program. Djobet would complement guards like Mikel Brown Jr. and Corey Caulker (13.4 PPG in JUCO), playing as a combo guard or wing. His 2.6 RPG adds rebounding depth. Coach Kelsey, known for development at Charleston, can refine Djobet’s shooting and decision-making, maximizing his defensive length.
Djobet’s addition boosts Louisville’s competitiveness, helping them aim for an NIT berth while enhancing Kelsey’s recruiting momentum.
2. Syracuse
Syracuse’s 2-3 zone defense under Coach Adrian Autry suits Djobet’s 6-foot-7 frame, making him a fit for their system that thrives with lengthy guards. Djobet would be drawn to Syracuse’s defensive tradition and history with international players.
He’d pair well with guards like J.J. Starling, focusing on defense and rebounding while playing as a wing in the zone. His presence would improve Syracuse’s 92nd-ranked defensive efficiency (2024-25, KenPom).
Autry can help Djobet enhance his offensive consistency, encouraging more drives to the basket. Djobet strengthens Syracuse’s identity, aiding their push for a deeper ACC Tournament run, while Autry gains a versatile piece to attract future talent.
3. Clemson
Clemson, under Coach Brad Brownell, has shown interest in Djobet, likely due to his fit as a wing after their Elite Eight run in 2024. Djobet would appreciate Clemson’s family-like culture and NCAA Tournament potential.
He’d slot in alongside guards like Chase Hunter, focusing on defense and transition scoring, while his 2.6 RPG helps on the glass (Clemson ranked 150th in rebounding margin).
Brownell can develop Djobet’s three-point shooting and utilize his length in defensive schemes. Djobet’s addition provides depth, helping Clemson aim for another Sweet 16 run, while Brownell reinforces the program’s portal appeal.
4. Missouri
Missouri, rebuilding under Coach Dennis Gates after an 8-24 season, needs depth. Djobet’s athleticism fits Gates’ up-tempo system, and he’d be drawn to the SEC’s competitive stage.
He’d complement guards like Tamar Bates, playing as a wing defender and transition scorer, while his rebounding helps Missouri’s 189th-ranked rebounding margin. Gates can improve Djobet’s ball-handling, preparing him for a pro career.
Djobet boosts Missouri’s transition game (104th in pace), potentially helping them reach a .500 record and NIT bid, while Gates rebuilds the program’s reputation.
5. Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech, under Coach Damon Stoudamire, prioritizes athletic wings, making Djobet a fit. He’d be attracted to meaningful minutes in the ACC and Stoudamire’s NBA pedigree.

Djobet would play as a defensive wing alongside guards like Nait George, improving Tech’s 134th-ranked defensive efficiency. Stoudamire can develop Djobet’s offensive creation, leveraging his length defensively.
Djobet helps Tech aim for a mid-tier ACC finish, while Stoudamire gains recruiting momentum.
