5 Best Players in the NCAA Transfer Portal: Who Is Remaining After Boogie Fland Committed to Florida?

The NCAA transfer portal continues to shake up college basketball as top talents find new homes ahead of the upcoming season. One of the biggest moves was Boogie Fland’s commitment to the Florida Gators, a major addition for the SEC program.

But with Fland off the board, which high-impact players remain available for teams still hunting for game-changers?

We’ve tracked the latest portal activity via 247 Sports Transfer Portal Tracker, and here are the five best unsigned players who could still make a big splash this offseason.

Uncommitted Stars: Top 5 Still in the Transfer Portal

PJ Haggerty (Memphis)

PJ Haggerty, formerly of Memphis, is one of the most sought-after guards in the transfer portal. Ranked as the No. 1 overall transfer portal prospect by On3, Haggerty was originally a three-star recruit, but his performance at Tulsa and Memphis significantly elevated his stock.

Last season, he showcased his scoring ability, averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.

Now, Haggerty is looking to take the next big step. He wants to play as a true point guard—and he’s also eyeing a major NIL deal, reportedly around $4 million. Schools like NC State, Ole Miss, and Texas are chasing him, but Texas stands out. Their strong NIL setup could give them the edge in this heated race.

RJ Luis Jr. (St. John’s)

Meanwhile, RJ Luis Jr. has made his decision. After St. John’s suffered a tough loss to Arkansas in the NCAA Tournament, the 2025 Big East Player of the Year entered the transfer portal. But he quickly shut the door on returning to college. Luis has fully committed to the NBA Draft and says he’s “all-in” on turning pro.

St. John’s transfer RJ Luis said he’s “still all-in” on staying in the NBA draft.

The Big East Player of the Year is also in the portal, but he says he hasn’t spoken to any college coaches yet.

Luis had a big season—he averaged 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. Before his draft decision, he was one of the most wanted wings in the portal. If he had returned to school, he was expected to land at least $1.5 million in NIL deals. Now, his focus is entirely on the next level.

Jamir Watkins (Florida State)

Jamir Watkins, another major portal name, is still weighing his future. The five-star transfer originally entered the NBA Draft but is now leaning toward returning to college. At Florida State, Watkins averaged 18.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. He’s ranked as the No. 2 small forward in the portal.

While his draft stock has recently dipped, his value in college basketball is rising. He was one of the brightest stars in the ACC last season. If he withdraws from the draft, UNC is currently the frontrunner to land him. Other schools like Louisville, Kentucky, and Illinois are also making a strong push.

Desmond Claude (USC)

Fourth, Desmond Claude is the name to watch. The former USC guard had a strong season, putting up 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. He’s not just looking for a good fit—he wants a strong backcourt partner and a real shot at a deep tournament run.

Zeke Mayo (Kansas)

Finally, Zeke Mayo is the last best available player in the transfer portal. He played last season at Kansas and recently entered the transfer portal. However, he added a “Do Not Contact” tag, which means he wants to stay in Kansas but is keeping his options open.

This is because his NCAA eligibility is still uncertain and is awaiting a decision. Last season, Mayo showed a strong performance, averaging 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. We expect him to return to Kansas instead of transferring to another school if he receives the extra year of eligibility.
