Vanderbilt Lands Four Transfers to Rebuild Roster

0:00On April 22nd, Vanderbilt basketball just wrapped a magical 2025-2026 season, bowing out in the round of 32. But the real talk now is, Coach Mard-Beynton rebuilding after losing stars like Guard Dupes Miles, Sharp Shooter Tyler Nichol, and Front Court Enkers. Jalen Washington and Devin McLaughlin, plus a few others hit the transfer portal. The doors needed scoring punch at guard and serious size of front, and in the last five days, they landed four key transfers to plug those holes. First up, Ace Glass, from Washington State, steps in as the Miles replacement. This freshman dropped over 16 points a game, shooting nearly 46% from the floor, and 36 from deepstats that mirror Miles. Almost perfectly. He's not the lockdown defender Miles was, but is shot making Fitz-Beynton's fast-paced offense like a glove. Meanwhile, they beefed up big time with seven-foot bang-a-dack from Colorado, who could be the steal of the portal.

1:01Dack averaged 11 points, six-and-a-half boards, and one-and-a-half blocks in the big 12, bringing rim protection and paint-scoring Vanderbilt. Lacked. Then there's Burke-Buyuk-Tunso, from Nebraska, a gritty forward who lit them up for 12 in the tournament, six-and-a-half points, and five-and-a-half. Re-bounds a game, perfect for grinding the boards. Adding depth, Sebastian Williams-Adams from Auburn brings solid minutes off the bench. Their freshman hit seven points, and three-and-a-half rebounds on 50% shooting, with room to grow in year two. Fans are buzzing about the physicality and balance this group adds, though questions linger on forward. AK Okureka's eligibility in Guard Tyler. Tanner's return. These moves have Vanderbilt looking competitive again, stacking a roster ready to run and bang. If Tanner sticks around, they could push even deeper next March.
