The Transfer Portal Closes Tonight and Six Top-10 Players Still Haven't Picked Their School
The college basketball transfer portal shuts down at midnight tonight, and the chaos is nowhere near finished. Players who want to enter the portal have until the clock strikes 12 to notify their schools, but here's the kicker: the real drama is just getting started. Six of the top 10 uncommitted players in the 247Sports transfer rankings are still shopping around, and some of them are juggling both the portal and NBA Draft decisions at the same time.
The Biggest Names Still Out There
Iowa State sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic is the prize catch right now. The guy shot 48.7% from three this season, which is elite-level shooting, and multiple schools want him badly. The wrinkle: he's also going through the NBA Draft process, so his next move isn't locked in yet.

If you want a guy who's all-in on college basketball, Wisconsin's John Blackwell is your answer. He averaged 19.1 points per game for the Badgers last season and already took a visit to UCLA this month. Duke, Illinois, Louisville, and UCLA are all in the mix.
NBA Draft Deadlines Are Adding More Chaos
April 24 at 11:59 p.m. ET is when underclassmen have to decide if they're entering the draft. But here's what makes this wild: declaring for the draft doesn't lock you in. Players can still go through the draft process and pull out by May 27 at 11:59 p.m. ET to keep their college eligibility. Last year, Alabama's Labaron Philon literally waited until the final hours to announce he was coming back to school.
Some guys have already skipped the pre-draft process entirely. UConn's Braylon Mullins, Duke's Patrick Ngongba II, and Florida's Alex Condon have all decided to stay put for now.
Other Players Still Weighing Options
Arizona State's Massamba Diop averaged 13.6 points and 2.1 blocks for the Sun Devils last season, and Gonzaga and St. John's are interested. Wake Forest's Juke Harris took a Michigan visit earlier this month and is also drawing looks from Tennessee and North Carolina. Saint Mary's Paulius Murauskas rounds out the top uncommitted players still figuring out their next move.
Once the portal closes tonight, the scramble accelerates. Schools have limited spots, players have limited options, and one wrong move could change everything about next season's college basketball landscape.
