North Dakota State and head coach Dave Richman have added some length through the transfer portal, grabbing Illinois State transfer Luke Kasubke. The 6-foot-5 190-pound guard has one year of eligibility remaining after spending his first two seasons playing at Kansas State and the two most recent at Illinois State. Kasubke made 18 starts over his Redbird career and playing in 53 games.

Bronny James is focused on preparation prior to the 2024 NBA Draft and is ready to play for the franchise who believes he has a chance to shine at the next level — and that might not necessarily be the Los Angeles Lakers, who are led by his father, LeBron James. Long-rumored to be a package deal of sorts this summer with LeBron James potentially opting out of his deal with the Lakers and teaming up with his son, Bronny James says that's never been the plan.

Clemson, SC

Dabo Swinney feels good about the roster he has currently. Because of that, Clemson didn't bring in a single player from the transfer portal. The Tigers did bring in the No. 11 recruiting class in the country during the 2024 cycle, including two five-stars and 11 four-stars. For Swinney, he looks at bringing in high-school talent the same way others look at prospects in the portal.
