Freshman forward Marcus Bagley decided to enter the transfer portal earlier to leave his options open this offseason, while senior guard Remy Martin announced his commitment to Kansas on Monday if he returned to college basketball.
Other transfers from last year’s squad include guard Jaelen House (New Mexico), forward Taeshon Cherry (GCU), guard Holland Woods (GCU) and power forward/center Chris Osten (NIU).
In an effort to rebuild the roster this offseason, head coach Bobby Hurley and Co. added a handful of players through the transfer portal, most notably guards Marreon Jackson, Jay Heath and A.J. Bramah.
