PAC-12 basketball didn’t waste any time getting better from the transfer portal. There’s a changing of the “Guard” of sorts for teams that gained talent out of the portal. Here’s a look at each team’s impact transfer heading into the 2022-23 season.

The Oregon State Beavers, UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans didn’t add a player out of the transfer portal.

Courtney Ramey, 6’3 Guard, Arizona Wildcats

Courtney Ramey makes a move to the West as he jumps to the PAC-12 to become a member of the Arizona Wildcats out of the transfer portal. After spending the past four seasons with the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12, he’s looking to expand his role as a scorer and distributor out of the backcourt with the Wildcats.

Ramey is a prospect that can play either guard role in the backcourt, a need in the Wildcats’ backcourt heading into a new season with the departures of Bennedict Mathurin and Dalen Terry. He earned All-Big 12 honors in 2020-21 back when he produced both career-highs in points (12.2 ppg) and assists (3.9 apg) to go along with 3.1 rpg on 41.4 percent shooting from 3-point range, another career-high mark.

His production took a step back in 2021-22, though he still managed to pour in 9.4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.6 apg, and 1.0 spg on 35 percent shooting from 3-point land. He did turn in a career-high defensive rating of 94.6, showing off his ability to be a pesto n the defensive side of the ball.

Ramey hopes to share some of the backcourt duties with returning sharpshooter Kerr Kriisa and end his collegiate career on a high note with head coach Tommy Lloyd at the helm.
