Big Ten Basketball: Ranking of top 20 incoming transfers for 2024-25 season
By Brad Schultz
16. TJ Bamba (Oregon)
2023-24 season at Villanova: 10.1 PPG | 3.6 RPG | 1.8 APG | 43.0 FG% | 36.9 3PT%
Bamba transfers to Oregon for his final season after spending one year at Villanova and three seasons at Washington State. Though the Wildcats missed the NCAA Tournament yet again, it was a solid year for Bamba, as he started all 33 games he played in while posting respectable numbers in the Big East. Now, he returns back to the Pacific Coast as a member of the Ducks, where he should fit in well alongside fellow transfer Brandon Angel.
15. Ben Humrichous (Illinois)
2023-24 season at Evansville: 14.7 PPG | 4.7 RPG | 1.9 APG | 48.4 FG% | 41.4 3PT%
Humrichous joins Illinois after playing one season at Evansville, where he quickly made an impact and led the Purple Aces in scoring at 14.7 points per game, which ranked 12th in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2024. Humrichous can tear it up on the inside, but he is known for his three-point shot that ranked 4th in the MVC. Humrichous spent his first three seasons of college basketball with NAIA Huntington University in Indiana, and it's safe to say the decision to jump to Division-1 basketball has worked out well for him.
Expect Humrichous to play a vital role with the Fighting Illini after they lost forwards Coleman Hawkins and Dain Danja in the transfer portal this offseason.
