The former four-star prospect played a key role in helping the Cyclones reach the Sweet 16 in their first season under coach T.J. Hunter won Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors while averaging 11 points and 4.9 assists for Iowa State. Old school: Iowa State | New school: Texas He can do more than just shoot, though, and he should be able to play a key role for the Hurricanes next season. Considering that he also shot 40.5% from deep as a freshman and is averaging 6.9 attempts from deep for his career, Pack might be the best shooter in the portal who has consistently proven it against elite defenses. His 43.6% 3-point shooting percentage this past season was particularly strong. Pack earned All-Big 12 First Team honors as a sophomore and finished third in the league in scoring at 17.4 points per game. Old school: Kansas State | New school: Miami He'll be an instant impact player for the Tigers, who are more than familiar with his capabilities. He is also skilled at scoring inside the arc as a career 49.8% shooter on 2-point attempts. During the 2020-21 season, he ranked fourth nationally with 7.6 assists per game while still scoring 19 points per contest. Davis is more than just an outside shooter, though, and has the profile of a starting point guard for a big-time program. In 2021-22, he finished second in the AAC in scoring behind a 37.2% 3-point mark on 6.5 attempts per game. The 5-foot-11 guard played a key role in helping SMU to three straight winning seasons and is the reigning AAC Player of the Year. For now, though, here are the top 25 transfers of the 2022 offseason.
With the withdrawal deadline in the rearview, the portal picture will soon become more clear as players begin the final climb towards the 2022 regular season. But even with many of the big-name transfers having announced their destinations already, some talented players remain available in the portal who could impact college basketball next season. The decisions from both Smith, Mayer and Hunter continue the talent drain out of the transfer portal as teams add to their rosters for the 2022-23 season heading into the summer. Fellow Big 12 standout Matthew Mayer is also on the move, as he announced he's transferring from Baylor to the Big Ten. Hunter will join returning starter Marcus Carr in Texas' rebooted backcourt, in the process giving second-year coach Chris Beard one of the best at-the-point perimeter defenders in the country to build around. He's coming off a career season where he was named the Southern Conference Player of the Year after averaging 19.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and shooting 40.7% from 3-point range on a Mocs team that went 27-8 and made its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2016.Įlsewhere in major transfer news, Iowa State star guard Tyrese Hunter, the reigning Big 12 Freshman of the Year, announced last week that he is transferring cross-conference to Texas.
Smith began his career at Wright State before spending the last two seasons with Chattanooga. "He does a lot of really good things on the floor, but his experience and leadership will also be huge." "Malachi is going to be a great addition to our program," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. Smith had plenty of suitors after entering the portal back in April, but ultimately chose the Bulldogs over Texas Tech. Less than 24 hours after getting both Julian Strawther and Drew Timme back from the NBA Draft at the underclassmen withdrawal deadline, Gonzaga on Thursday evening again hit it big with the addition of a highly-coveted transfer in guard Malachi Smith.
