These 25 transfer portal commitments are flying too far under the radar

There have already been a lot of commitments in the transfer portal. We all know and talk about the commitments of the star players, but what about the commitments of the players who were not stars? Or the ones that played at mid-majors that some don't know about? There is a lot of talent changing teams.

22. Allen Mukeba - Arizona State Sun Devils

Mukeba is finally transferring to a Power Five school. He started his career at Kansas City and then spent this last season at Oakland, where he put up huge numbers. The forward is a unique player. He is undersized at 6'6" but does all his work in the paint. He led the Horizon League in field goal percentage.

Arizona State lost a lot in the portal. They had to get more talented and athletic quickly. Mukeba fixes that problem and checks both of those boxes. The Sun Devils lost a lot of rim protection and rebounding in the portal. Mukeba checks those boxes as well, hauling in 8 rebounds and blocking over a shot per night. Will he succeed in the Big 12?

21. Moe Odum - Arizona State Sun Devils

Odum had a breakout season for the Pepperdine Waves this year. He decided to enter the transfer portal when his value would peak. Odum is an average offensive player at best, but he is one of the best passers in the country. He averaged 7.5 helpers a game, good for fourth in the country.

Head coach Bobby Hurley never had a true point guard this year, and the players who filled that role are all out of eligibility. Hurley needs Odum to continue to excel as a pass-first point guard and provide some offense. Odum will help, but Arizona State must find some defense in the portal, or it could be another long year.
