Here’s a recent college basketball story from the AP:

After Dusty May left Florida Atlantic to take over Michigan’s program, many of the best remaining players from the Owls’ 2023 Final Four team also left.

But not everyone followed their former coach to Ann Arbor. They were spread across different programs.

Florida Atlantic’s four leading scorers from last season – all of whom played key roles in the Owls’ Final Four a year earlier – are now playing elsewhere. They are among the most notable of the hundreds of transfers on college basketball rosters across the country.

In the age of the transfer portal, Florida Atlantic’s ability to keep the core of its Final Four team together for another year was remarkable. The team’s eventual dissolution following its first-round overtime loss to Northwestern in the 2024 NCAA Tournament seemed inevitable.

May’s first Michigan team will include Vladislav Goldin, a 7-foot-1 center who made 106 starts at Florida Atlantic and averaged double figures in each of the last two seasons. After playing in the NCAA Tournament the last two years at FAU, Goldin believes he is capable of getting back there at Michigan.

“This team is probably the most talented I’ve ever played on, so many talented guys,” Goldin told reporters this offseason. “It’s insane talent. I’ve never seen it before.”

Some of Goldin’s other Florida Atlantic teammates opted to go alone.

Johnell Davis, who led Florida Atlantic in scoring each of the last two seasons, will play for John Calipari at No. 16 Arkansas.

“He’s a Hall of Fame coach and wins wherever he goes,” Davis told reporters. “I’m happy to play for him.”

Nick Boyd transferred to San Diego State, the team that ended Florida Atlantic’s Cinderella 2023 title hopes in the NCAA semifinals with a Lamont Butler buzzer-beater. Alijah Martin, who scored 26 points in the Final Four loss to San Diego State, transferred to Florida.

Here’s a look at some of the other most notable transfers in college basketball this season. Your former schools are in parentheses.

Oumar Ballo, C, Indiana (Arizona)

The 7-footer comes in at No. 17 out of Indiana after playing four seasons at Arizona. Ballo earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors each of the last two seasons. He averaged 12.9 points and 10.1 rebounds last season after putting up 14.2 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in the 2022-23 season. Ballo has averaged 1.3 blocks per game in each of the last two seasons.

Tucker DeVries, G/F, West Virginia (Drake)

When West Virginia hired coach Darian DeVries from Drake, his son followed him to Morgantown. DeVries, who stands 6-foot-10, was named the Larry Bird Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and was the league tournament’s Most Outstanding Player each of the last two seasons. Last season, he ranked 10th in Division I in scoring (21.6) and was the only Division I player to average at least 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.5 steals per game achieved. This was followed by a 2022–23 season in which he scored 18.6 points per game.

Coleman Hawkins, F, Kansas State (Illinois)

Hawkins was an Associated Press All-Big Ten second-team selection last season in his fourth year at Illinois. He averaged 12.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks. Big 12 coaches named him the league’s preseason co-rookie of the year. Hawkins declared for the draft last spring and attended the NBA Draft Combine before deciding to play another season of college basketball.

Great Oobor, F, Washington (Utah State)

Oobor comes to Washington after playing two seasons at Montana State and one at Utah State. Last season, he received honorable mention on the AP All-America team and was named the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. The 6-8 forward put up 17.7 points per game and 9 rebounds per game while shooting 57.7% from the floor at Utah State.

Kadary Richmond, G, St. John’s (Seton Hall)

After playing for Seton Hall last year and earning first-team All-Big East honors from the league’s coaches and second-team honors from the AP, Richmond stayed in the conference but changed schools. The 6-6 guard played one season at Syracuse before spending three seasons at Seton Hall. Richmond had 15.7 points, 7 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game last season.

Jeremy Roach, G, Baylor (Duke)

This 6-2 fifth-year senior was named Big 12 preseason co-freshman of the year along with Hawkins. He heads to No. 8 Baylor after making 108 career starts at Duke. Roach has been captain of the Duke team each of the last two seasons. Roach averaged 14 points per game last season, 13.6 in the 2022-23 season, 8.6 in the 2021-22 season and 8.7 in the 2020-21 season.
