As transfer portal aficionados know, the basketball season has ended for ASU, so the time has come to learn what the team will look like for next season before the coming pause. Some players will remain, while others will depart.
Some will exit due to a loss of eligibility, while others will claw their way out via the transfer portal. Here’s a look at who is on their way to the portal.
ASU Players En Route to Transfer Portal
According to On3, only one player has formally entered the transfer portal. Mor Massamba Diop, the team’s center, entered it on Apr. 8 with a “do not contact” tag. After a season in which he scored 13.6 points per game, the center is set to improve another roster in the coming days.
While one player has entered the transfer portal, more are expected to join him, including two point guards and a shooting forward. Adante Holiman and Kash Polk are both expected to depart via the portal. Holiman’s exit ends a run with ASU that never saw him play in the regular season after he left Georgia Southern after the 2024-25 season. Polk found himself in a similar predicament with an inability to produce for the team.
Marcus Adams Jr. is also set to hit the bricks after seeing his average points per game drop from 16.1 in 2024-25 with Cal State Northridge to 3.6 points per game with ASU in 2025-26.

Will ASU Suffer an Exodus?
Of course, in some college basketball rosters, a few exits can trigger a stampede for the door. With many teams falling to pieces in the college basketball world in April, the question is whether ASU will suffer a similar fate. According to one basketball analyst, ASU should feel relatively safe.
In an Apr. 4 article by On SI’s Kevin Hicks, the analyst argued the program is in a “strong position.”
“The losses of Holiman and Polk may ignite sirens for Sun Devil fans who are fearful of losing the remainder of the core,” Hicks wrote. “While it isn’t impossible that the 2026-27 roster loses key production from the season before, they are in a strong position to retain the majority of it.”
As such, things appear to be far from catastrophic, for now.
