Arkansas point guard Boogie Fland, who previously declared for the NBA draft, has also entered the transfer portal, multiple reports said Tuesday.

• Fland is primarily focused on the draft this June, but he entered the portal before the window to do so closed at midnight in order to keep his options open, according to the reports.

  Fland was a five-star prospect coming out of high school and one of the top guards in his class. Originally committed to Kentucky, he was released from his letter of intent and followed coach John Calipari to Arkansas.

  In 21 games (18 starts) for the Razorbacks, Fland put up 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 34 percent from 3-point range. He missed much of the regular season with a hand injury and returned in the NCAA Tournament, coming off the bench in games against Kansas, St. John's and Texas Tech.

  Arkansas (22-14) overcame an 0-5 start in Southeastern Conference play, qualified for the NCAA Tournament and reached the Sweet 16 in Calipari's first season.

Former Maryland guard Rodney Rice is transferring to Southern California, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

• Rice chose the Trojans over Tennessee.

  USC didn't immediately release any news regarding Rice, but it did announce Tuesday that graduate transfer forward Keonte Jones has signed from nearby Cal State Northridge.

  Rice averaged 13.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 36 games (32 starts) in his one season at Maryland. He helped the Terrapins reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

  Maryland coach Kevin Willard took the Villanova post after the season but Rice apparently never strongly considered joining Willard. Also, reports said new Maryland coach Buzz Williams didn't attempt to get Rice to stay.

  Rice began his career at Virginia Tech and played in just eight games in 2022-23 due to a broken ankle and a broken hand. He left the Hokies early in the 2023-24 campaign before moving on to Maryland in March 2024.

  Meanwhile, Jones averaged 13.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocked shots in 33 games last season for Cal State Northridge and was a first-team All-Big West selection.

  In two seasons with the Matadors, Jones averaged 12.3 points and 7.9 rebounds in 67 games (64 starts).

  "Keonte is a versatile player on both ends of the floor that plays with a tremendous competitive spirit," USC coach Eric Musselman said in the release. "He plays with incredible passion and will be a great asset to our program."

Memphis guard PJ Haggerty, a consensus second-team All-American, will enter the transfer portal.

• Haggerty told The Athletic of his plans Thursday, confirming several other media reports.

  Haggerty won American Athletic Conference Player of the Year honors after averaging a league-high 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals in 35 starts for the Tigers in 2024-25.

  His next team will also be Haggerty's fourth in four years. He began his college career at TCU but only saw action in six games. As a redshirt freshman at Tulsa in 2023-24, Haggerty exploded for 21.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals per contest.

  Agents for Memphis center Dain Dainja told ESPN on Thursday that their client was joining Haggerty in the transfer portal, but Dainja later refuted the report on social media.

  "Not going anywhere," Dainja wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "No decisions have been made."

  Dainja is out of eligibility but has requested a waiver from the NCAA to play another season, per The Commericial Appeal in Memphis.

  Dainja, who began his college career at Baylor, transferred to Memphis after two years at Illinois. He posted career highs of 14.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 35 appearances (19 starts) for the Tigers on 61.5 percent field-goal shooting. Dainja was an All-AAC first-team selection and named the league's Newcomer of the Year.

  Haggerty and Dainja helped Memphis win the AAC title and reach the NCAA Tournament as a No. 5 seed, where the Tigers lost in the first round to Colorado State.

  One player who will be at Memphis next season is guard Zachary Davis, who transferred from South Carolina on Thursday.

  The 6-foot-7 Davis averaged career highs of 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists while starting 19 of 32 games as a junior this season. For his career, Davis has posted 5.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 95 games (38 starts).

Auburn guard/forward Chad Baker-Mazara announced Thursday that he will enter the transfer portal and play his final year of college basketball elsewhere.

• Baker-Mazara spent two seasons at Auburn and was a key component on the Tigers' Final Four team this past season.

  "First I wanna thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to do what I love but I wanna thank my teammates, coaching staff and the Auburn Family for the incredible support for this past two years!" Baker-Mazara wrote in a social media post.

  His decision means Auburn will have to replace its entire starting five from 2024-25. Johni Broome, Denver Jones, Dylan Cardwell and Miles Kelly were out of eligibility.

  Baker-Mazara is now 25 years old, but he is benefiting from a temporary waiver allowing athletes who played a year outside the NCAA -- in Baker-Mazara's case, junior college -- to have an additional season of NCAA eligibility.

  Baker-Mazara played one season apiece at Duquesne and San Diego State before spending 2022-23 at Northwest Florida State. In his 119 career games at the Division I level, he has averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game.

  His best season was 2024-25, when he started 34 of 38 games for the Tigers and put up 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

  Auburn (32-6) spent much of the season ranked No. 1 in the AP poll and earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament before losing to SEC rival and eventual national champion Florida in the Final Four.

Princeton standout point guard Xaivian Lee announced Wednesday on social media that he is transferring to national champion Florida.

• Twice an All-Ivy League first-team selection, he made visits to the Gators' campus as well as to Kansas and St. John's. Lee, who has one year of eligibility remaining, was regarded as one of the top point guards in the transfer portal.

  Lee, who explored entering the NBA draft last year before returning to Princeton, will re-enter the draft process ahead of his move to Florida, his agent, George S. Langberg, told the Trentonian (N.J.) newspaper.

  A native of Toronto, the 6-foot-4 Lee would be a replacement for Florida's All-America guard Walter Clayton Jr., who has exhausted his eligibility and is heading to the NBA draft. Clayton followed a similar path, playing at a Northeast mid-major (Iona) before transferring to Florida.

  Lee averaged 16.9 points last season with career bests with 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in 30 contests (all starts). In 91 career games (59 starts) for the Tigers, Lee averaged 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

  For his career, he has shot 43.5 percent from the field, including 33.4 percent from 3-point range, and 79.6 percent from the foul line.

  Knueppel made the ACC All-Freshman team and All-ACC second team and helped Duke (35-4) reach the Final Four.

  With Flagg injured, Knueppel took over and earned ACC tournament MVP honors with 63 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists in three games.

I didn't know what I was getting myself into with a brand-new roster and coaching staff, but Dusty May had an out-of-the-box plan for my development with a unique style of offense that allowed me to play my game. I wouldn't be in the position I am today without them letting me showcase my skill-set and developing me into the player I am today."

  A second-team All-Big Ten selection, Wolf ranks No. 19 in ESPN's latest NBA draft projections.

  After two seasons at Yale, Wolf transferred to Michigan and shot 49.7 percent from the field and 33.6 percent (38 of 113) from 3-point range this season. He had 15 double-doubles and helped the Wolverines reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

• The 6-foot-6 Lithuanian averaged 15.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists as a freshman for the Fighting Illini, but he told ESPN he's ready for the next level.
