Clemson, Auburn, UAB Basketball Programs Add Key Transfers

Clemson basketball has made significant roster additions through the transfer portal, securing commitments from UAB guard Butta Johnson and former Utah forward Jake Wahlin. Johnson averaged 8.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in his final season at UAB, while Wahlin, a 6-foot-10 forward, contributed 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in his sophomore year. The Tigers are looking to bolster their frontcourt after losing key players to graduation, with Wahlin being their third 6-foot-10 forward added this offseason. In addition, UAB guard Efrem Johnson has also committed to Clemson, aiming to enhance their guard depth. Auburn has secured former Mississippi State forward KeShawn Murphy, who averaged 11.7 points and 7.4 rebounds last season, to strengthen their frontcourt following the departure of two starters. These moves highlight the ongoing trend of teams in the NCAA transfer portal actively reshaping their rosters ahead of the new season.
