Arizona's Henri Veesaar enters NCAA transfer portal

Henri Veesaar, a 7-foot redshirt sophomore from Arizona, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, marking him as the third Wildcat to do so following the team's Sweet 16 exit in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Veesaar had a breakout season, averaging 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 20.8 minutes per game, after stepping up due to a season-ending injury to teammate Motiejus Krivas. Alongside Veesaar, guard KJ Lewis and freshman center Emmanuel Stephen have also decided to transfer. The Wildcats, who finished the season with a record of 24-13, are now left with only six scholarship players, raising questions about their roster depth for the upcoming season. Coach Tommy Lloyd has begun individual meetings with remaining players to discuss their futures amid these developments. Veesaar's potential as a player has drawn attention from college basketball analysts, suggesting he could command significant interest in the transfer market.
