ACC Basketball: Top 20 transfers heading into 2024-25 season

14) Jyare Davis | 6'7 Forward | Syracuse Orange

Jyare Davis is quite the sizeable forward name, joining the Syracuse Orange out of the transfer portal from the Delaware Blue Hens in the CAA. He poured in 17.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per contest while racking up eight double-doubles in 2023-24.

He joins the Orange with quite the accolades as the 2020-21 CAA Rookie of the Year, 2022 CAA Tournament MVP, All-CAA Third Team (2022-23) and Second Team (2023-24) honors as he joins a new conference looking to continue to build.

With both JJ Starling and Chris Bell back, Davis shouldn't have too difficult of a time adjusting to his new setting in the ACC. He's another prospect with starting potential at either forward spot at 6-foot-7 who's proven and can put on a show at the LM level. Now, he'll just need to prove himself in the ACC.

13) Chad Venning | 6'9 Forward/Center | Boston College Golden Eagles

Chad Venning is another name joining the Boston College Golden Eagles in the ACC with some buzz surrounding him. He joins the Golden Eagles after spending the past two seasons at St. Bonaventure where he became quite the defensive anchor.

Venning posted 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game with the Bonnies, earning Second Team All-A10 honors in 2023-24. He shot 55.3 percent from the field across two years in the A10. He's proven to be a bruiser inside the painted area as a traditional big man.

The Golden Eagles lost a ton of production to the transfer portal, especially in their backcourt this offseason. Venning's addition should keep a hold on things in the frontcourt, but their lack of depth could be an issue for them.
