Jeff Borzello reports the 2026‑27 portal class is now set after Milan Momcilovic chose Kentucky, ending the cycle. ESPN’s top‑100 list still features eight‑plus transfers for several programs, but rankings favor schools with multiple high‑impact arrivals. The final slate shows a mix of power‑houses loading depth and mid‑majors targeting specific needs.

Tennessee Volunteers claim the top spot, loading eight transfers—all double‑digit scorers last season, including Juke Harris (21.4 PPG) and Dai Dai Ames (16.9 PPG). Coach Rick Barnes aimed for offensive firepower, while defensive cohesion remains a question. Louisville follows, anchored by point guard Jackson Shelstad and defensive stalwart Flory Bidunga, offering an immediate All‑ACC frontcourt presence.

Kentucky Wildcats land Momcilovic, a 16.9 PPG shooter from Iowa State, pushing the program into the top‑25 portal rankings. Alex Wilkins and Zoom Diallo complement his scoring, forming a dynamic backcourt. Texas rounds out the elite trio with three top‑100 transfers, banking on their Sweet 16 momentum. These classes reshape roster hierarchies and set the stage for a competitive season.
