The transfer season is in full swing and it’s time to rank the top players by position. The ‘big questions’ will be answered as we dig into these rankings.
The “college basketball transfer rankings for 2021-22” is a list of the top 100 college basketball transfers for the 2022 season. The list includes players from all divisions and conferences, including Division I, II, and III.
Just wait until the conclusion of the 2021-22 college basketball season to see how overwhelming the transfer portal was last spring.
The one-time transfer waiver is still in force, and there are a number of other reasons that might contribute to a higher number of men’s basketball names in the portal this spring than the 1,832 now listed for the 2020-21 academic year. Because of the additional year of NCAA eligibility, many teams will have to trim their rosters to get back to the 13-scholarship maximum after being permitted to exceed it in 2021-22. Furthermore, due to COVID-19 regulations, the majority of this year’s freshmen are already on campuses that they had never seen before enrolling in the summer or autumn — another issue that might contribute to attrition.
Fewer than 100 names are in the portal for next season at this point, and many of those players departed before the current season even started. We decided to go all-in on Transfer Week because it’s never too early for portal chatter — especially after John Gasaway listed the 20 finest transfers in college basketball history.
Will any of the candidates mentioned this spring make Gasaway’s next list?

Tre King, PF, Jr., Georgetown, 6-8, 225 lbs. Iowa State University is a priority for me. After the season, King departed Eastern Kentucky and committed to Georgetown. King reentered the portal in October after the school made a statement saying he “did not satisfy the behavior requirements of the University.” He’s committed to Iowa State and won’t be eligible until the following season. Last season, he was named to the Ohio Valley’s first team.
2. Iowa State’s Blake Hinson, 6-6, 230 lbs., SG, Jr.
Before leaving Ole Miss and going to Iowa State, Hinson averaged 10.1 points as a sophomore. Hinson was slated to play for the Cyclones this season after missing last season due to a medical ailment — until he announced his departure in late October.
3. Dain Dainja, PF, Baylor, 6-9, 270 lbs. Dedicated to the state of Illinois Dainja was a former ESPN 100 talent in the 2020 class who sat out last season at Baylor before appearing in three games this season for the Bears. He’s a big man in the paint who should aid Brad Underwood in his replacement of Kofi Cockburn next season.

4. James Graham III, SG, Maryland, 6-8, 205 lbs.
Graham was a four-star recruit in 2020, but he only appeared in eight games last season and one game this season before deciding to transfer. Since leaving the Terps, he’s gotten a lot of attention.
5. Peyton Daniels, SG, Vanderbilt, 6-2, 185 lbs.
Daniels, a four-star talent out of high school, only lasted three games at Vandy under Jerry Stackhouse before departing. In the three games, he averaged 3.0 points and 3.7 rebounds.
6. Valdir Manuel, PF, Sr., New Mexico, 6-10, 225 lbs.
Manuel averaged 7.9 points and 4.0 rebounds for the Lobos previous season, but he entered the portal before the start of this one. Before entering New Mexico in 2020, he began his career at Harcum College. Last season, he led the squad in blocks.
7. Wayne Bristol Jr., SG, Howard, 6-6, 185 lbs.
Bristol was named the MEAC Freshman of the Year after averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and shooting 40.0 percent from three-point range in 2019-20. Last season, though, he was injured to begin the season, and Howard’s season was cut short after just five games.
