UC-Irvine star point guard Max Hazzard is on the move following his spectacular NCAA Basketball 2018-19 season that saw his squad play in the Round of 32. Where will Hazzard end up?

The graduate transfer craze has entered another offseason, as the NCAA Basketball market has another summer filled with big names. One of those big names is UC Irvine point guard Max Hazzard.

Hazzard averaged 12 points per game for the Anteaters last season. UC Irvine won its first NCAA Tournament game in school history, knocking off four seed Kansas State in the first round of the tournament, and battling hard against Oregon in the Round of 32.

Now, Hazzard will likely depart from UC Irvine, seeing his stock his after a big showing on the big stage. Hazzard announced that he is down to seven schools, which are Gonzaga, TCU, Arizona, Minnesota, Cal, UC-Irvine, and Pitt.

Each school presents Hazzard with unique and desirable opportunities to finish out his collegiate career on a big note. As a grad transfer, Hazzard will be eligible immediately next season and will look to make a big impact at whatever school he transfers to.

Hazzard fits a different need and fills a different role for each of the seven teams on his list, and would be a very big add for any of the seven schools. Let’s take a look at each school that Hazzard is looking at during his graduate transfer process.
