The college basketball transfer portal recently closed after a frenzied 45-day period that saw over 2,000 players enter, setting a record that might last for years. Despite the deadline passing, activity in the transfer portal remains intense. The latest update from 247Sports revealed a new No. 1 player, Kadary Richmond, who is now visiting Norman, Oklahoma.
Richmond, previously with Seton Hall and Syracuse, tops the transfer portal rankings with a 97-player grade and is hailed as the top point guard available. He boasts an impressive college career with accolades like First Team All-Big East and impressive stats, including nearly 1,300 points, almost 600 assists, and over 500 rebounds.
Although a frontrunner has emerged for Richmond, Oklahoma’s men’s basketball program is entering the race late by hosting him for a two-day visit. Other schools in the mix for Richmond include St. John’s, Illinois, Kansas, and Syracuse.
This development follows Oklahoma’s recent recruitment success, including securing commitments from Duke Miles and other promising transfers and freshmen. Despite previous setbacks in the transfer portal, such as losing players and missing out on targets, landing Richmond’s visit marks a positive turn for Oklahoma. With two scholarship spots left and the potential return of talented players like Jalon Moore, Oklahoma’s pursuit of Richmond signals a promising direction for the program.
