The 2025 cycle brings a few changes. The portal opened a week later than it did in 2024, no longer overlapping with the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. This shift means 75% of tournament teams will already be eliminated by the time players can officially enter.

Arizona State men's basketball coach Bobby Hurley is going to have to rebuild his roster once again. After finishing 4-16 in the Big 12, the Sun Devils have likely already lost their two most promising players to the transfer portal — five-star freshmen Joson Sanon and Jayden Quaintance.

Arizona State’s Jayden Quaintance, a projected top-10 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, is considering entering the transfer portal, according to multiple reports Wednesday. ESPN was first to report the news.
