As we approach the 2021-22 college basketball season, there are not many conferences that have been in the news more recently than AAC Basketball.

The AAC as a whole had success during both the 2020-21 regular season and postseason. After Wichita State took home the regular-season crown with an 11-2 record in conference play, the postseason was dominated by the Houston Cougars who won the 2021 AAC Tournament and rode that success all the way to the Final Four.

Fast forward to the offseason, and while multiple teams saw some roster turnover due to players leaving for the NBA and transfers, the news has been dominated recently by Memphis. Not only did the Tigers have success in the Transfer Portal, but they’ve obviously dominated college basketball news recently with the additions of top-rated freshmen Emoni Bates and Jalen Duren.

When it comes to solely the incoming transfers for the conference, was Memphis still the clear winner? As you’ll see, multiple AAC teams had success in the Transfer Portal this offseason and may be some of the favorites to challenge the Tigers for the 2021-22 AAC Basketball crown.

As we inch closer to tip-off for the 2021-22 season, here are the top 10 AAC Basketball transfers of the offseason, starting with a few honorable mentions.
