Overview
- Wisconsin guard John Blackwell, a 19‑points‑per‑game All‑Big Ten standout, is visiting finalists Alabama, Arizona, Duke, Illinois, Louisville and UCLA with a decision set for May 4 while he evaluates the NBA Draft.
- St. John's landed British point guard Quinn Ellis from Italy’s top league on Tuesday, and hours later guard Dylan Darling entered the transfer portal after a season that included late‑game heroics and 15 starts.
- Recruiting projections place Tennessee in front for Wake Forest scorer Juke Harris, though Michigan and North Carolina are still pushing in a race that remains open.
- Louisville has emerged as an early portal winner with Jackson Shelstad, Flory Bidunga and Karter Knox on board, while Kansas and Kentucky have taken heavy hits, including Kentucky missing BYU star Rob Wright III on Wednesday.
- The NCAA’s compressed transfer window runs April 7–21, and many players are also testing the NBA Draft with a May 28 withdrawal deadline, which tightens visits, NIL talks and roster planning for coaches and athletes.
