It was a heck of a 2025-26 season, with Arizona returning to the Final Four for the first time in 25 years. But thanks to the current setup in college basketball, each year brings with it a very different team for the Wildcats and almost every school in Division I thanks to graduation, the NBA Draft and the NCAA transfer portal.<\/p>\n
The portal officially opened Tuesday, a 15-day window for players to put their name in, though for weeks prospective transfers throughout the country have been announcing their intentions. The UA is expected to be very active in the portal this offseason after adding only one transfer a year ago.<\/p>\n

NBA Draft considerations will also impact the Wildcats, as several players are expected to declare for the draft and a few are unlikely to return to college. And there\u2019s still another signing period for prep recruits on the horizon.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a lot to keep track of, but we\u2019ve got you covered. Below is a breakdown of Arizona\u2019s comings and goings, which will be updated with each announced decision or acquisition:<\/p>\n
