Top 15 Prospects in the 2025 College Sport Transfer Portal, Highlighting Newly Rated Five-Star Adrian Wooley

In just the first three days of the 2025 college basketball transfer portal window, the number of entries had already reached nearly half of the total from the entire 2024 cycle. According to national basketball analyst Travis Branham, over 1,100 players entered the portal within the first 72 hours, significantly reshaping the landscape of college hoops. Many top prospects have already committed to new programs, while others are expected to make their decisions in the coming days.

The 30-day transfer window remains open until Tuesday, April 22, and despite the ongoing NCAA Tournament featuring the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, the portal activity remains relentless. Drake transfer Bennett Stirtz, this cycle’s No. 1-ranked portal prospect, is already off the market after choosing to follow coach Ben McCollum to Iowa. However, plenty of high-profile transfers are still available, with programs nationwide competing to secure impact players for the 2025-26 season.

So, which top-rated college basketball transfers are still up for grabs as we enter Day 4 of the 2025

Here’s a breakdown of the top 15 highest-rated uncommitted prospects in the 2025 college basketball transfer portal as of Friday, March 28, at 9:05 a.m. ET:

1. Donovan Dent, PG, New Mexico

Transfer Portal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 98 Rating | No. 2 Overall

New Mexico’s Donovan Dent is the top available prospect after entering the portal on Tuesday. The Mountain West Player of the Year was one of Division I’s premier scorers this season, averaging 20.6 points and 6.4 assists per game. Originally a four-star recruit out of high school, the 6-foot-2 junior guard quickly earned five-star status as a transfer. Dent played a key role in leading the Lobos to the NCAA Tournament, but his departure came ahead of head coach Richard Pitino’s move to Xavier.

2. Adrian Wooley, CG, Kennesaw State

Transfer Portal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 98 Rating | No. 3 Overall

Kennesaw State’s Adrian Wooley made a name for himself as one of the nation’s best freshmen this season. The Conference USA Rookie of the Year and first-team all-conference selection was a major steal for the Owls after being ranked as a three-star prospect out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Wooley showcased his all-around ability, averaging 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.

3. Dedan Thomas, PG, UNLV

Transfer Portal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 98 Rating | No. 4 Overall

The talented point guard has two years of eligibility remaining after leading the Rebels with 15.6 points and 4.7 assists per game during the 2024-25 season. Thomas earned third-team All-Mountain West honors while shooting 41.3% from the field and 35.3% from beyond the arc. Even as the NCAA Tournament continues, teams like Florida and other Sweet 16 programs have emerged as serious contenders for his commitment, per reports from Isaac Trotter. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound sophomore was a four-star recruit coming out of high school.

4. Josh Dix, SG, Iowa

Transfer Portal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 97 Rating | No. 5 Overall

Josh Dix headlines the wave of transfers leaving Iowa following the program’s coaching change. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound guard was one of the Big Ten’s most efficient scorers, shooting 50.7% from the field—ranking sixth in the conference. He averaged 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game while knocking down 42.2% of his three-point attempts. A former three-star recruit and the top-ranked player in Iowa’s 2022 class, Dix remains a sought-after target.

After transferring from Drake to West Virginia to follow his father, head coach Darian DeVries, expectations are high that he will now join him at Indiana, where his father was recently hired. The 6-foot-7 guard played just eight games in the 2024-25 season before a shoulder injury sidelined him. A two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year, DeVries has averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game across 112 career appearances.

7. Isaac McKneely, SG, Virginia

Transfer Portal Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 97 Rating | No. 8 Overall

Virginia will enter a new era without its leading scorer, Isaac McKneely.

He also ranked second in the conference in threes made per game (3.2) and eighth in minutes played (34.4).

The 6-foot-9 junior forward was a key contributor for the Hoosiers, averaging 13.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting 55.2% from the field and 73.3% from the free-throw line. A former top-50 recruit, Reneau has one year of eligibility remaining and should be a highly sought-after addition for teams in need of frontcourt help.

Former five-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American Jalil Bethea has decided to transfer following Miami’s coaching change.
