The ACC Basketball Portal Just Opened, and the Chaos Is Already Real

The men's college basketball transfer portal window opened April 7, the day right after the 2026 national championship game wrapped up. Now thousands of players are about to flood the portal, and if you thought the offseason was going to be quiet, think again. We're tracking all the movement across the ACC, and spoiler alert: there's a lot of it.

Who's Hitting the Portal

Boston College is losing some serious depth. They've got SG Donald Hand, PG Fred Payne, C Boden Kapke, PG Luka Toews, SG Akbar Waheed III, and C Kany Tchanda all heading to the portal. That's a bunch of bodies walking out the door.
