The college basketball transfer portal is seeing significant activity, with notable players like Donovan Dent from New Mexico and Justin Pippen from Michigan entering. Dent, a standout at New Mexico, could return to the Lobos but is also exploring other opportunities, while Pippen, son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, seeks new prospects after a limited role at Michigan. Meanwhile, Purdue's coach Matt Painter continues to lead his team with consistency into the Sweet 16, showcasing adaptability in an ever-changing college basketball landscape. In other news, Nick Pringle, previously with Alabama, has also entered the portal and is testing NBA Draft waters after a season with South Carolina.
