Eaglestaff Decommits Amid NCAA Transfer Turmoil

Treysen Eaglestaff, a high-scoring guard who averaged 18.9 points per game at North Dakota, has decommitted from South Carolina and re-entered the NCAA transfer portal, drawing renewed interest from programs such as Gonzaga. His move comes amid a period of significant roster upheaval across college basketball, with teams like Seton Hall and Duke also experiencing major player departures and decommitments. Gonzaga, having lost several players to the portal, is now targeting Eaglestaff to bolster its roster. The increasing frequency of such moves is widely attributed to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities, with players seeking better exposure and prospects. Eaglestaff’s decommitment underscores the instability in the current transfer portal and NIL landscape. The ongoing volatility has led to calls for clearer guidelines to restore stability and meaning to player commitments.
