For 11 games this season, Green Bay Phoenix guard Anthony Roy shocked the college basketball world. He dropped 35 points on Western Illinois, 34 on eventual NCAA tournament team SIU Edwardsville, 30 points on Ohio State, and 27 points on Oklahoma State. He looked like a star in the making.
Top 5 Landing Spots for Anthony Roy
Kicking off the list, the Tennessee Volunteers could be in the market for a player like Roy. The Volunteers made it to the Elite Eight before dropping to the No. 1 ranked Houston Cougars. Tennessee lacked scoring in the final game and could be in the market for a great scorer like Roy.
We could also see Roy check out the Providence Friars. Winning 12 of their 32 games this past season, the Friars finished eighth in the Big East. Scoring proved to be a big issue for Providence this season, and a player like Roy could seriously put them on the map next season.
The Creighton Bluejays could be in the market for a player like Roy, as well. The 25 win and 11 loss Bluejays team made it to the second round before falling to the No. 1 ranked Auburn Tigers. Creighton finished second in the Big East.
While they had a good season, scoring wound up costing them in the end, and they could address this issue with Roy.
Similar to the Volunteers, the Kentucky Wildcats could be in the market for a player like Roy. Kentucky seriously lacked scoring in its final game of the season before being eliminated by Tennessee.
Roy could play a pivotal role for Kentucky next season if given the opportunity.
Roy is no stranger to the state of Oklahoma, so the fifth team on this list could come in Oklahoma, but not the Sooners. This time, Roy could return to Oklahoma and find himself on the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

His scoring ability would be very welcomed for the Cowboys and could get them back on track.
Overall, Roy is going to be one of the most sought-after transfers in this year’s portal. Roy’s 25.7 points per game are very enticing. Despite only being given 11 games prior to his injury, Roy looked poised for a massive year. Whoever lands Roy could instantly be a contender next year.
