Vanderbilt Hoops Lands Five Transfers

0:00On April 22nd, Vanderbilt's hoop squad just wrapped a magical 2025-2026 season, bowing out in the round of 32. Coach Mark Beinten faced a tough rebuild after losing stars like Guard Duke Miles, Sharp Shooter Tyler Nichol, and Front Court Anchors, Jalen Washington, and Devon McLaughton. Plus, a few more dipped into the transfer portal. The big needs, a scoring guard, and some serious size up front. In the past five days, the Commodores loaded up with five key transfers to plug those holes. Ace Glass, from Washington State, steps in as the Miles replacement, dropping 16 points a game as a freshman, was solid shooting from deep. Then there's seven-foot Bangaac from Colorado, a rim-protecting beast who averaged 11.5 points, 6.5 boards, and 1.5 blocks. These moves hit hard on defense and rebounding, giving Vanderbilt the physicality they lacked. Fans saw Burke-Bouliuk-Tunsell, from Nebraska, dropped 12 in that tournament match-up, and he's a grinder at 6.5 points and 5.6. Re-bounds.

1:06Sebastian Williams-Adams from Auburn, adds forward death with seven points and 3.5 boards on 50% shooting. Meanwhile, T.O. Barrett from Missouri brings back core of recitility off the bench, averaging 8.6 points. He's familiar with Beignton's system from their February clash. With this portal class, Vanderbilt's looking stacked and competitive again, especially of Tyler Tanner and A.K. O'Kareke stick around for more eligibility. Beignton's got the pieces to run it back strong next fall.
