Colorado Basketball's Transfer Portal Overhaul

0:00On April 29, Colorado men's basketball is flipping the script this off-season with massive transfer portal moves. 8 out of 9 buffs who left have already committed to new teams, shaking up the roster big time after a tough year. Standouts like freshman point guard Isaiah Johnson, who dropped 540 points to set a rookie scoring record, picked Texas in the SEC, despite a fat NIL offered to stay. Junior forward, Benga Deck, with his double-digit scoring and rebounding average over 3 years, landed at Vanderbilt, while sophomore Sebastian, Ransick heads to Florida State. Fans are buzzing about the departures hitting the buffs' depth, especially after rebounding struggles last season dragged them down. These moves signal a fresh start, but losing that core talent stings for Boulder Loyalists, hoping for a quick turnaround. Coach Tad Boyle counter-fast, grabbing three forwards from the portal, David Gomez from Charlotte, Noah Federson from North Dakota State, and Justin Neely from UNC Greensboro.

1:00They're all built to fix those board battles and boost the front court. One big man, seven foot one, freshman center, Leonardo Van Ellswick still hasn't picked a spot, but expect more tweaks as Colorado builds for a stronger. Rebound next fall.
