Transfer Portal Floods Big 12, Ohio State Secures Cupps

The Iowa State Cyclones are navigating a busy offseason following their exit from the NCAA Tournament, with head coach T.J. Otzelberger aiming to leverage the college basketball transfer portal to enhance the team. Four players, including starting center Dishon Jackson, have already entered the portal as the Cyclones look to rebuild their roster for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Ohio State has successfully recruited Gabe Cupps from Indiana, who will return to his home state after a challenging season with the Hoosiers, where he struggled with injuries and playing time. Cupps's arrival is part of Ohio State's effort to strengthen their team after missing the NCAA Tournament and facing potential losses from their current roster. The transfer portal is seeing significant activity, with many players exploring new opportunities following the season's end. Both Iowa State and Ohio State are actively seeking to bolster their rosters amid the competitive landscape of college basketball.
