Overview

• PJ Haggerty, the third-leading scorer in college basketball last season, entered the transfer portal on April 17, 2025, with a 'do not contact' tag.
• The redshirt sophomore averaged 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, earning AAC Player of the Year and second-team All-American honors.
• Haggerty's departure leaves Memphis coach Penny Hardaway needing to replace his entire starting lineup following a 29-6 season and conference titles.
• Top programs, including North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, and Indiana, are reportedly interested in recruiting Haggerty, who has two years of eligibility remaining.
• Despite his collegiate success, NBA interest in Haggerty is limited due to concerns about his size and athleticism as a scoring guard.
