Much has been made of Michigan Basketball’s transfer portal haul this past offseason with the additions of Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson Jr, Elliot Cadeau and Aday Mara. Rightfully so, as this group of transfers led the Wolverines to a Big Ten regular-season championship.

However, with the regular season wrapped up, we decided to take a look at how the season went for each of Michigan’s outgoing transfers that are still playing college hoops.

The former Michigan point guard put together an excellent senior season with the Hurricanes. He played more than 85 percent of Miami’s minutes and scored a career-high 16.8 points per game. He also dished the ball out much better as a senior than he had as a junior, as his assists per game jumped from 4.1 to 5.9. He will be one of the leaders on a tournament-bound Miami team.

Pippen transferred from Michigan to Cal in hopes of getting more playing time. His gamble certainly paid off, as he started all 29 games and played more than 31 minutes per game. He shot a respectable 36 percent from the field and 33 percent from deep while pouring in 14.2 points per game. He also led Cal in assists and steals. Cal won’t be making the NCAA Tournament, but he was undoubtedly one of the best players at Cal this season.

Like Pippen, Walters also transferred out in the hopes of seeing more minutes. Unfortunately, Walters wasn’t as successful. He played just nine minutes per game for the Mustangs and scored just 2.5 points per game. For context, that’s less minutes and less scoring than he had in his one season at Michigan. He has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that held him out of the last few games of the season.

Phat Phat Brooks, Central Michigan

Brooks stayed in the state of Michigan to play for the Chippewas, where he was one of their primary scorers. He tallied 11 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game. I’m sure he relished getting 28 minutes per game compared to the 3.2 minutes he was seeing in Ann Arbor.

Howard transferred to Fordham this past offseason to play for the Rams. Unfortunately after just two games, he was forced to medically retire after suffering several concussions.

Terrance Williams III, USC

After playing four seasons in Ann Arbor, Williams transferred to USC prior to the 2024-2025 season. Last year, he suffered several injuries that allowed him to play in just seven contests. He was healthy this year and appeared in 30 games. However, he wasn’t able to replicate any of the success he had at Michigan, as he notched 2.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game, a stark contrast to the 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game he had in his last season at Michigan.

Reed had his coming-out party of sorts in his second year at UConn, as he was arguably the best player on a team fighting for a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament. He started 26 games for the Huskies and averaged 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. He has legitimately blossomed into one of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the country despite still being a hideous free throw shooter (55.9 percent).

Dug McDaniel, Kansas State to Memphis

After spending just one year at Kansas State, McDaniel moved on to Memphis and was instantly the Tigers’ best player. This season, he led Memphis in scoring (14.0 points per game), assists (4.7) and steals (2.0) while playing far more minutes than anyone else on the roster. However, the Tigers did not have a great season and are nowhere near the NCAA Tournament bubble.

George Washington III, Richmond to Florida Gulf Coast

Sadly, Washington’s career has still yet to really take off. After one season at Michigan, he transferred to Richmond and remained stashed deep on the bench. He searched for greener pastures this offseason and ended up at Florida Gulf Coast, where he continued to be a benchwarmer. Je played in just 14 games, averaging 8.9 minutes and 3.1 points per game.

Isaiah Barnes, Tulsa to Valpo

Barnes spent two years at Tulsa and started nearly every game. For his graduate year, he transferred to Valpo, where he appeared in 29 games but started in just 13. He was used mainly as a role player off the bench. In his one season at Valpo, he averaged 3.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.

Frankie Collins, Arizona State to TCU to Vanderbilt

Collins continued his world tour of college basketball this year by transferring to Vanderbilt. In nine games for the Commodores, he came off the bench and had some success, scoring 7.8 points, grabbing 4.2 rebounds and dishing out 4.7 assists per game. Sadly, he tore his meniscus in December, sidelining him the rest of the year. A few weeks ago, Vanderbilt announced he was no longer with the program.
