College Basketball: Top 5 Winners of Transfer Portal Silly Season
Making a College Basketball Team is easier than clearing an exam.
What could have been actually a process of three-four years is not a matter of three-four months now. College Basketball is way changed now than it was back then. Pandemic waiver and new transfer rules played an important role in it.
Top 5 biggest winners – College Basketball Transfer Portal
Kentucky Wildcats
It looked like Kentucky Wildcats will be the only team playing in next season. Yeah, actually because almost every college basketball player put his name in the transfer portal for Kentucky.
In every player’s list of the final 8, Kentucky Wildcats has been a top-notch name. As I said if there will be no roster limit Kentucky will rise as the only team will all the potential players.

Now you already know that why the Wildcats got the first spot. If some team is having a plethora of choices it will end up taking in the best of all. From five-star power forward Daimion Collins to Bryce Hopkins and one and only Kellan Grady. College Basketball is going to witness a new Kentucky next season and most importantly with a dominant and offensive play after welcoming C. J. Fredrick.
Arkansas Razorbacks
Out of all the teams in 2020-2021 transfers, Arkansas was the name on top. Arkansas won 11 out of 13 games in the last season of college basketball and the one who tasted success under Eric Musselman – the roster-building master coach from the NBA. He is an experienced man who will not waste his picks on unworthy.

Arkansas is getting stronger with Chris Lykes getting back from injury, Stanley Umude, Au’Diese Toney and so on. The game is changing therefore, the world of college basketball teams can’t stay stagnant.
Texas Longhorns
The team that hired all the best recruiters of college basketball before picking players is standing at number 3 in our list of top 5 and Chris Beard is one of the best out of all recruiters.
Timmy Allen who made his name known in college basketball as the high volume wong scorer is picked by Beard as soon as he can. But baby, Beard did not stop at Allen along with him Christian Bishop – forward, Dylan Disu – the 3 point shooter and Kentucky guard Devin Askew joined the roster. With a history of converting misfits into stars, Chris Beard can do wonders I can say.
Maryland Terrapins
Mark Turgeon who entered the last season of college basketball with a roaster full of wings, has already started making changes. Qudus Wahab is a name that Mark has added to his roaster recently. The interior operator with a history of best rebounds and block shots is going to add quality to Maryland.
New number, who dis.

Wahab as a centre and points guard as Fatt Russell. Maryland Terrapins is going to be a balanced roaster now instead of just wings flying all around.
Auburn Tigers
Auburn Tigers is on this list only because of Walker Kessler. The name cannot be overlooked when talking about the great picks. He is not just an ordinary player when he really started showing his skills it was confirmed that Kessler is a one-man army.

But this time he is also having better support in terms of transfers like Zep Jasper and Wendell Green Jr. Even though we have watched Walker Kessler’s show in only a few games but our belief in his unmatched abilities is making us putting Tigers on the list.
