The NCAA Tournament is headed into the Final Four, but the action has already picked up off the court with the opening of the transfer portal on March 18. Jamie Dixon and the Horned Frogs put the transfer portal to solid effect in rebuilding the roster ahead of the 2023-24 season, bringing in a Top 5 transfer class nationally with long-tenured starters like Jameer Nelson Jr. & Avery Anderson III and young talent like Ernest Udeh Jr. With the page turning to this offseason, the Frogs quickly went from one of the nation’s most experienced rosters to one of the youngest. In addition to its graduating seniors with expired eligibility, the Horned Frogs will enter 2024-25 without guard Micah Peavy and forward JaKobe Coles who both have entered the transfer portal.

Dennis Evans - I don’t know that he is a fit anymore at TCU with the coaching staff not having a former big man on it, but interesting that he is reported here to be healthy and ready.

A 7-foot-1 center out of Riverside, Calif., Evans arrived at Louisville as the No. 25 ranked player in the class of 2023 and one of the nation's premier shot blockers. Evans was ranked highly due to his long term potential more than he was for what he was expected to do in year one and a mixture of another poor season for the Cardinals, health issues and limited playing time all combined in Evans averaging just 1.6 points in seven appearances.

While Evans didn't play after the month of November, sources indicated that he has been cleared medically and that he will be good to go at his next stop. Originally committed to Minnesota, Evans remains a high upside big who can protect the rim at a high level and has emerging skill on the offensive end. A team that can develop bigs and has some patience still has an opportunity to hit it big with the Californian.
