()=Former School (Additions) or New School (Losses)
Winners
UCLA
Additions:Guard Anthony Thompson (USC), Guard Gerry Trent (Northwestern), Center AJ Williams (Duke), Ben Jackson (North Carolina)
Losses:None
Adding TN’s top two transfers Gerry Trent and AJ Williams were huge wins in the first year of the transfer portal under Rob Fillion. Getting Anthony Thompson early in the off-season was a huge win from crosstown rival USC. UCLA is getting goalie dept by adding early enrollee Ben Jackson.
TCU
Additions:Guard Devin Mills (UT-Arlington), Forward Chrishaun Thomas (Alabama)
Losses:None
Devin Mills and Chrishaun Thomas aren’t the only additions as JUCO transfers Kris Payne and Quest Wilson are added to the team.
North Carolina
Additions:Guard Alonzo James (Naples), Center Christian Sisa (California)
Losses:Guard AJ Andrews (Maryland), Guard Porter Williams (Maryland), Goalie Ben Jackson (UCLA)
Replacing guards AJ Andrews annd Porter Williams with former Naples Guard Alonzo James and rising Freshman KK Pinson was a huge win on the recruiting trail for the Tar Heels. Christian Sisa was a huge win for Carolina as they look to replace the production of lottery pick Armistead Williams. While Goalie Ben Jackson leaves, Freshman and younger brother of Ian Donahue, Devin Donahue, will look to replace the production of Willie Hughes in his freshman season.
Maryland
Additions:Guard AJ Andrews (North Carolina), Guard Porter Williams (North Carolina)
Losses:Guard Michael Huerter (Syracuse)
Adding Guards AJ Andrews and Porter Williams to star Forward AJ Charles should make a nice trio to be a legit competitor in the Big Ten East. Losing no players but Michael Huerter (who did not play a game for the Terps’s last season) to the portal after landing the two guards goes to show this team will have great depth.
Connecticut
Additions:Guard Erlon Johnson (South Carolina)
Losses:None
Adding grad transfer Erlon Johnson made the best team in the American even better. Teaming Johnson up with reclassified Guard Mikel White made things even better for the team playing their final year in the AAC.
Iowa
Additions:Forward Anthony Harrison (Ontario)
Losses:None
Adding arguably Canadian transfer of all-time made Iowa the favorites in the Big Ten West after Gerry Trent left Northwestern for UCLA. Teaming Harrison up with Guard Jay Johnson will be a treat to watch with Harrison’s two more years of eligibility.
Syracuse
Additions:Michael Huerter (Maryland), Bobby Qualls (Arkansas)
Losses:None
Adding Huerter and Qualls to the collection of talent ‘Cuse has will make for an incredible team in a realigned ACC.
Losers
Arkansas
Additions:None
Losses:Guard Will Schuhmacher (USC), Guard Charlie Radtke (AGCU), Guard Bobby Qualls (Syracuse)
Arkansas lost former five-star guards Will Schuhmacher, Charlie Radtke, and Bobby Qualls due to lack of success with their playing time. While they do get more flexibility with their guard rotation now that three are gone, losing out on 2020 Guard Jabari Williams to UCLA is a big loss for the Arkansas program.
Northwestern
Additions:None
Losses:Guard Gerry Trent (Northwestern)
Losing top transfer Gerry Trent after his graduation and replacing it with nothing means about nothing but still being a competitor in the Big Ten West without a top five player in college throwball.
Ouachita Baptist
Additions:None
Losses:Guard Alex Freeman (Little Rock)
Like Northwestern, Ouachita Baptist is losing their top talent and replacing it with nothing. Similar to Northwestern, OBU will still be a competitor in the AtlanticWest but not have a top thirty player in college throwball.
Alabama
Additions:None
Losses:Forward Chrishaun Thomas (TCU)
Losing a talent like Chrishaun Thomas will hurt ‘Bama’s front field rotation and will need the Tide to go out on the recruiting trail looking to improve.
UT-Arlington
Additions:None
Losses:Guard Devin Mills (TCU)
Losing Devin Mills to TCU loses TCU’s identity. As UT-Arlington looks to compete in the AValley, the loss of Mills hurts their chances.
UCLA Head Coach Rob Fillion’s sucess on the transfer trail continues as he lands his fourth player from the transfer portal. Ben Jackson, a former North Carolina enrollee, announced on a recent Instagram post he will be leaving the UNC throwball program to transfer to UCLA. Jackson also visited BYU, Conneticut, Gonzaga, and Oregon. Jackson was the last player left from TN’s transfer rankings to commit to a school.
The updated 2019 transfer rankings (college throwball) are out. It includes overall rankings, ranking every position’s players, and rankings by class.
North Carolina early enrollee Goalie Ben Jackson will be entering the transfer portal. The to be freshman out of Salt Lake City,Utah has been in contact with programs including BYU, Conneticut, Denver, Gonzaga, Oregon, and UCLA as soon as Carolina was knocked out of the pre-season tournament. Jackson will likely not return to Chapel Hill even if he decides to take a visit back. Reasons for his transfer have to do with being so far away from home and not being able to start, as fellow early enrollee Goalie Devin Donahue will most likely be getting most of the starts.
Duke Center AJ Williams has entered the TN NCAA transfer portal a source told TN. AJ was frustrated with the way the team played in its super regional loss at the hands of arch rival. Williams told TN Carolina, “I’m done with Duke, I’ve graduated and am ready to move on to UCLA. I want to thank Duke for everything. I want to thank the coaching staff, teachers, my friends, and especially my family and future wife for helping me get through this tough decision to either go pro, transfer, or stay in Durham.” Williams had been visiting schools behind Duke’s back before making a decision to return to school instead of going overseas to play pro ball. TN confirmed this decision when Williams rented a place out in LA for this next year.
Former Northwestern Guard Gerry Trent told TN this afternoon that he would be taking his talents to Los Angeles. Trent picked UCLA over Atlanta and Florida after extensive phone calls and talks with current and former players of the school. Trent leaves a Northwestern program that will need some help without him in 2019-2020.
