Big 12 Basketball Team Trending for Massive Portal Name

“Kansas State has emerged as a serious contender for Memphis transfer and All-American G PJ Haggerty,” the report states. “NC State had been the favorites for the top transfer, but sources add that Kansas State has the momentum. Source adds that Kansas State’s financial offer is expected to be stronger than NC State’s.”

Last season with the Tigers, Haggerty earned All-American honors by averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. He connected on 47.6% of shots from the field, 36.4% from three-point range, and 81.8% from the free throw line.

After back-to-back years averaging 20+ points, Haggerty understandably has earned some serious praise. He currently checks in as 247Sports‘ second-ranked player in the transfer portal, only behind Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg.

The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, March 24, 2025. According to NCAA data, 1,296 FBS basketball players entered the transfer portal in the 2023-24 school year, with 864 (66.7%) undergraduates and 432 (33.3%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 70% reported that they enrolled in another school, 6% withdrew their names from the portal, and 23% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
