NCAA Basketball: Keshad Johnson, Jaylin Sellers among week’s top transfer pickups

The week after the NCAA Basketball transfer portal deadline, the number of players becoming free agents now has dwindled. And that means the amount of those that are committing has also slowed down, at least the more notable players.

For this week, I’m only doing a top 10 list of the top transfer commitments. There is still some power conference talent making moves; here’s a look at who has found a new home.

Honorable Mention: Naheem McLeod – Florida State to Syracuse

The 7’4 center is the biggest body in the transfer portal and started 11 games with FSU. He becomes the latest ACC player to switch teams, going to Syracuse to replace Jesse Edwards. McLeod is someone that could thrive in the zone defense for the rebuilding Orange.

HM: Tanner Holden – Ohio State to Wright State

Before he transferred up, Holden averaged 20.1 ppg and 7.1 rpg at Wright State. It ultimately didn’t work out with the Buckeyes this past season, averaging just 3.6 ppg in 14 mpg off the bench. But assuming he gets back into form in the Horizon League once again, look for Holden’s numbers to take a giant leap back up.

HM: Parker Braun – Santa Clara to Kansas

The 6’8 forward was a two-year starting forward at Santa Clara, averaging 7.7 ppg and 5.8 rpg this past season. He’s a solid frontcourt player that joins the program his brother Christian Braun was at in Kansas, set to be the backup to center Hunter Dickinson in the new-look Jayhawks’ frontcourt.
