The Transfer Portal Just Lost Two Stars and Seven Top Prospects Are Still Available
The men's college basketball transfer portal is thinning out fast. Cincinnati center Moustapha Thiam committed to Michigan and Charleston center Chol Machot headed to Georgetown on Friday, and those moves knocked two of USA TODAY Sports' top 10 remaining portal players off the board. That leaves just seven of USA TODAY Sports' Top 40 portal prospects still waiting to find their next home.
Who's Still in Play
The talent pool is shrinking, but there's still serious firepower available. Flory Bidunga from Kansas, Juke Harris out of Wake Forest, and John Blackwell from Wisconsin are among the seven uncommitted players still making waves in the portal. You've also got Paulius Murauskas from Saint Mary's, Neoklis Avdalas from Virginia Tech, Miles Byrd from San Diego State, and Stefan Vaaks from Providence still looking for their landing spots.

Keep an eye on players like Acaden Lewis from Villanova, Oswin Erhunmwunse from Providence, Kwame Evans Jr. from Oregon, and Dedan Thomas Jr. from LSU. The list stretches to include names like Mouhamed Sylla from Georgia Tech, Alex Wilkins from Furman, Jackson Shelstad from Oregon, Terrence Brown from Utah, Markus Burton from Notre Dame, Najai Hines from Seton Hall, Bryson Tiller from Kansas, Jeremiah Wilkinson from Georgia, Finley Bizjack from Butler, Terrence Hill Jr. from VCU, and Karter Knox from Arkansas.
The NBA Draft Wild Card
Here's the wrinkle: many of these guys will go through the NBA draft process before making their final decision. Some have already declared for the league, but aren't shutting the door on a college return. That means the timeline for commitments could stretch longer than expected, and programs chasing these players need to be ready to move fast when decisions do come down.
