Top players remaining in the men’s college basketball transfer portal

While the 2022-2023 men’s college basketball season ended about three months ago, the transfer portal still has a handful of talented players left. Although high-profile players like Hunter Dickinson and Caleb Love found their new teams months ago, the blowback from Bob Huggins’ resignation at West Virginia has led to multiple Mountaineers searching for a new home.

While West Virginia’s incoming transfers Kerr Kriisa and Jesse Edwards have opted to stay in Morgantown under interim head coach Josh Eilert, others are still choosing to leave.

Former West Virginia forward Tre Mitchell, the Mountaineers’ leading rebounder last season, found his new school — Kentucky. Mitchell is already in Lexington practicing with his new team.

Here are five noteworthy players still in the portal:

West Virginia transfers

Joe Toussaint

Guard Joe Toussaint arrived at West Virginia after spending three seasons at Iowa. Toussaint led the Hawkeyes in assists and steals as a junior. At West Virginia, the Bronx product averaged 9.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in his lone season in Morgantown. He came off the bench to score a career-high 22 points against Texas Tech on Jan. 25.

Toussaint entered the transfer portal on June 23 and was contacted by schools such as Gonzaga and Kansas State, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. Toussaint’s experience at the Power Five level makes him a highly sought after name in the portal, and he has narrowed down his next school to these destinations — Kansas State, Texas Tech and Pitt.

James Okonkwo

Forward James Okonkwo led West Virginia in blocks last season, posting 22 across the season while playing around only 11 minutes per game. Okonkwo played in three games as a freshman in the 2021-2022 season before his role as a sophomore increased considerably. Okonkwo usually came off the bench in Tre Mitchell’s place, but he made significant impacts on the defensive end. Per CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein, Okonkwo is set to visit North Carolina and Texas A&M.

Mohamed Wague

Junior forward Mohamed Wague’s lone season at West Virginia was cut short after he was sidelined indefinitely on Feb. 25 because of a foot injury. Wague played in 28 games for the Mountaineers, averaging 4.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. Prior to playing at the Division I level, he led the nation in offensive rebounds at Harcum College (Pa.), a junior college. While he hasn’t ruled out a return to West Virginia, Wague visited Kansas State last week and is currently on a visit to Alabama.
