NCAA Basketball: Ranking of top 100 impact transfers for 2024-25 season
55. Kylan Boswell - Illinois Fighting Illini
2023-24 season stats (at Arizona): 9.6 ppg and 3.6 apg
Boswell started as a sophomore at Arizona, shooting 40% from the field and 38% from deep. He had eight games of 15+ points, including 20 points and eight assists in the NCAA Tournament win over Long Beach State. Boswell gives Illinois the kind of true point guard they lacked a year ago and is capable of scoring to help replace the lost production on the backcourt.
54. Lynn Kidd - Miami Hurricanes
2023-24 season stats (at Virginia Tech): 13.2 ppg and 6.5 rpg
The 6’10 big man had a breakout year as a full-time starter with the Hokies, shooting 69% from the field. Kidd had five games of at least 20 points last season, including a career-high 31 points and 11 rebounds versus American. He’s the replacement for Norchad Omier for Miami at center, giving them needed frontcourt size and a capable interior scorer.
53. Andrew Carr - Kentucky Wildcats
2023-24 season stats (at Wake Forest): 13.5 ppg and 6.8 rpg
Carr has 112 career starts at both Delaware and Wake Forest, coming off career scoring/rebounding numbers while shooting 37% from deep. He had four 20+ point games, including 24 points and nine rebounds versus Elon. Carr’s game fits new Kentucky HC Mark Pope’s spacing system for shooters and his ability to spread the floor will be a needed asset.
52. Chris Youngblood - Alabama Crimson Tide
2023-24 season stats (at South Florida): 15.3 ppg and 2.5 rpg
The 6’4 guard was the star of the Bulls, earning Co-AAC Player of the Year honors. Youngblood shot 42% from three-point range, including a season-high 29 points in a win over Tulane. He adds more firepower to Alabama’s roster as both a proven and consistent double-digit contributor.
51. Meechie Johnson - Ohio State Buckeyes
2023-24 season stats (at South Carolina): 14.1 ppg and 2.9 apg
The 6’2 guard led the Gamecocks in scoring last season, shooting 40% from the field overall. Johnson had 10 games of at least 20 points, including 29 in a win over Notre Dame. He returns back to Ohio State where his career originally started, replacing Roddy Gayle in the projected starting lineup.
