Men’s NCAA basketball 2024-25 roster moves, transfers, recruits

“Offseason.”

It sounds good, right?

Well, it doesn’t exist. Not yet, at least.

While the 2023-24 men’s college basketball season officially ended on April 8 in Glendale, Arizona, the past four weeks of roster machinations have been busier than the previous five months of games. Between the coaching carousel, NBA draft decisions, high school recruitments, the transfer portal — especially the transfer portal — and the extra year of eligibility for seniors, the personnel movement around the country has been endless.

Keeping track of the comings and goings has become borderline impossible, but that’s where we come in. As we’ve done the past couple of years, we’re sharing all of our roster changes research.

Some of the classifications are self-explanatory, but here’s a quick refresher on others.

• Departed or expected to depart: Includes players who declared for the NBA draft without any intention to return, current seniors who haven’t made their plans known and players who have entered the transfer portal.

• In limbo: Includes players whose status is up in the air — most likely they have entered the NBA draft but could return to college.

• Expected to return: Includes players who have confirmed they’re returning to school, or haven’t yet made other plans.

• Newcomer rankings are according to ESPN’s recruiting database.

This page will be constantly updated throughout the offseason. I’m bound to make mistakes or miss some decisions — particularly when it comes to seniors returning to school — so point out any errors to me on X (formerly known as Twitter) at @jeffborzello.
