2026 Transfers List

[KansasCityCats]

If we somehow land Bidunga, it would imply that Krivas entered the draft.

I'm still a huge fan of Tiller.  He would be an amazing PF candidate.

Holt would backfill Burries' role of combo guard, who typically plays SG. Holmes, Kharchenkov and Aristode would all rotate between the 2/3/4 positions.

PG and backup Center are obviously the glaring needs, assuming Krivas returns and Gueye is still not ready for major PT (hopefully, he is)

I am not 100% sure who I would want if I got to handpick from the list.
The issue I am having is not knowing who is going to transfer out of Arizona.
I believe Lloyd's biggest recruiting win would be getting all three of Aristode/Kharchenkov/Krivas to return to Arizona assuming the latter two do not enter the NBA Draft.

Get a starting PG.
Get a starting PF.
Get a shooter off the bench.
Get a backup big.

The wildcard for me here is Gueye/James.
If both of them are able to develop enough to warrant playing time?
Lloyd could (and should) use the money for the backup shooter/big roles to get a better tier starting PG/PF to try to repeat the Big 12 sweep next season.
Here is to hoping Arizona's Final Four run is going to hold some weight when Arizona comes calling.

Krivas and Ivan would be the biggest wins!
James looks to have improved enough to rotate in at a minimum. Holt should be ready right away. Who plays PG? That will come from the portal.
Back up C/PF? Someone with some strength please.

I agree with everyone. The biggest win would be retaining & just adding one player. If we returned everyone our roster would be set. Just need a point guard. A dog. DA is the biggest question mark. I think Ivan comes backs Krivas is getting the last 3 picks in the first round. So, it's first round money, is it guaranteed he'll be first round? It's on the border. Hopefully he sees that he can be lottery by coming back. Maybe even top 10 depending the type of season he has.

Most important position for me is pg.
I like the following that I know

Jackson shelstad
Zoom diallo
Dedan thomas
Isaiah Johnson

Those are 4 there that are really good.

I hope Lloyd brings in some athletic players as well hopefully  a athletic 4 would be nice.

UConn freshman Eric Reibe enters transfer portal...

Tommy should go get the big man.

[KansasCityCats]

Reibe started the season strong, while Reed was injured. He wasn't himself, after taking a backseat to the deserved starter.

He plays Lloyd's style of basketball and would become a spitting image of Veesaar. Hopefully the staff can make that happen.

Maybe not a spitting image, but a 260lb version of HankyV perhaps... Which could be absolutely dominant if paired with Mo Krivas in this Transitional Season coming up as our Front Court having at least 1 big man being finally Allowed to "Step Out".

Perhaps this is why Sidi is flying the coop.

Has anyone even been on a visit to Arizona yet?
I know Shelstad was supposed to come, but he never made it after his Louisvills visit.
Let this be a lesson that if you REALLY want the prospect?
You make sure you are the first and ONLY visit they go on!
