NCAA Basketball: Ranking of top 100 impact transfers for 2024-25 season
25. JP Pegues - Auburn Tigers
2023-24 season stats (at Furman): 18.4 ppg and 4.8 apg
The 6’1 guard was one of the best players in the SoCon last season, shooting 36% from deep on over six attempts a game. Pegues had 14 games with at least 20 points, including a career-high 35 on the road at Western Carolina. Auburn lost several ball-handlers to the portal this offseason, including Tre Donaldson and Aden Holloway so look for Pegues to step in as the lead guard next season.
24. Mark Mitchell - Missouri Tigers
2023-24 season stats (at Duke): 11.6 ppg and 6.0 rpg
The former 5-star prospect started at Duke for the past two years, shooting 54% from the field. Despite being the 4th or 5th option on offense at times, Mitchell had four games of at least 20 points, including 23 points and 14 rebounds at Notre Dame. On a completely revamped Missouri squad, look for Mitchell to be the focal point on offense and someone who could put up big numbers in the SEC.
23. Coleman Hawkins - Kansas State Wildcats
2023-24 season stats (at Illinois): 12.1 ppg and 6.1 rpg
The 6’10 forward is one of the better two-way frontcourt players in the country, coming off career-high offensive numbers. Hawkins had a 30-point game against Iowa and showcased an ability to spread the floor, making 37% of his three-point attempts. He’ll be the new focal point of the frontcourt at Kansas State, replacing Arthur Kaluma, giving them an upgrade on the defensive end.
22. Vlad Goldin - Michigan Wolverines
2023-24 season stats (at Florida Atlantic): 15.7 ppg and 6.9 rpg
The 7’1 center started all three years at FAU, improving his offensive numbers each season. Goldin shot 67% from the field and had 10 games with at least 20 points, including 21 points and 10 rebounds versus North Texas. He followed Coach Dusty May over to Michigan, replacing the outgoing Tarris Reed as the focal point of the frontcourt.
21. Pop Isaacs - Creighton Bluejays
2023-24 season stats (at Texas Tech): 15.8 ppg and 3.5 apg
The 6’2 guard led the Raiders in scoring, making 35% of his shots from the field. Isaacs had several big scoring outings, including 25 points and nine assists against TCU and 32 in a win over BYU. The scoring guard will be the replacement for Trey Alexander in the backcourt at Creighton and if he’s more efficient with his shot selection, can be an All-Big East performer.
