2026 College Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker: Flory Bidunga Leaving Kansas

The college basketball season is winding down, but for many teams the offseason has already started. The coaching carousel has changed the landscape, and while the transfer portal doesn’t officially open until April 7, many players have expressed their intentions. Let’s take a look at some of the top players who are set to hit the transfer portal. Kansas Jayhawks star Flory Bidunga departing Lawrence The Jayhawks’ sophomore forward is declaring for the 2026 NBA Draft but is maintaining his college eligibility by entering the portal, per ESPN. Bidunga, a five-star recruit, averaged 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and a Big 12-high 2.6 blocks per game, while shooting a Big 12-high 64.0% from the field. Kansas went 24-11 overall and 12-6 in Big 12 play, good for fourth in the conference and enough to earn a No. 4 seed in the 2026 NCAA Men’s Tournament. That said, Bidunga and the Jayhawks were eliminated by St. John’s in the second round of the tournament. Audi Crooks to enter transfer portal Iowa State junior center Audi Crooks is set to enter the transfer portal on April 7, per ESPN. The move comes after the majority of the Cyclones’ existing roster either declared intentions for the portal or were set to graduate – Crooks was the lone top player left on the team following the announcements of junior forward Addy Brown and junior guard Jada Williams. Arianna Jackson is the only starter to announce she would return next season, and Crooks is the 10th Iowa State player to announce plans to enter the portal overall. “I still believe the grass is greener where you water it, and I’ve done that here,” Crooks said in a social media post. “It’s why I want you to hear from me directly that I have decided to enter the portal and explore what it means to take root again in new ground.” This is significant news not just for Iowa State, but the league in general. Crooks was the second-ranked scorer in the nation in the 2025-2026 season, averaging 25.8 points per game while shooting 65% and pulling down 7.7 rebounds. Crooks led the Big 12 in points per game, shooting percentage, 2P% and effective FG%, and was named a Second Team All-American by the Associated Press and USBWA. Besides rebounds, the 6-foot-3 Crooks does not have much of a defensive presence, but she’s one of the most dominant scorers in the nation and ranks fourth in Player Efficiency Rating this season, behind 2026 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year, South Dakota State’s Brooklyn Meyer, North Dakota State’s Avery Koenen, and UConn’s Sarah Strong, putting Crooks ahead of the likes of Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo, UCLA’s Lauren Betts and Vanderbilt’s Mikayla Blakes. Crooks caught the nation’s attention as a freshman when she scored 40 points in an NCAA Tournament win over Maryland. Nearly unstoppable in the low post, she scored at least 30 points in 17 games in three seasons and went over 40 five times this season. Tyler Lundblade commits to Tennessee Former Belmont forward Tyler Lundblade reportedly transferred to Tennessee, announcing his commitment on Wednesday. Lundblade was able to forgo college basketball’s new April 7 portal opening date because he is a grad transfer. He is an elite perimeter shooter, who led the nation in 3-point percentage (48.1) during his junior season at Belmont in 2024-25, and averaged 15.6 points per game last season.
