Should the portal and NIL money be regulated? We can discuss that until the sun comes up, but you can’t deny the volume of player movement — and story-lines with that movement — around college hoops.
On Tuesday, one of the largest names in the portal both in size and impact decided to take his talents to Mike Woodson in Bloomington, with Oumar Ballo committing to Indiana.
He was No. 1 across the country in many transfer portal player rankings, having averaged 12.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this past season and setting an Arizona record for career field goal percentage at 64%.
The American Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year this past season, Davis is testing the NBA Draft waters as well, but has his name in the portal and is a highly sought-after talent.
A 6-foot-4, 203-pound bulldog, Davis is a tough guard who can score in a variety of ways, having averaged 18.2 points per game while rebounding well for his size at 6.3 per contest.
A key part of FAU’s Final Four run in 2023, Davis is experienced and impacts the game on both ends of the floor.
The second team All-Big Ten selection had 11 performances of at least 20 points this past season as a Badger, averaging 16.8 points per game.
At 6-7, his ability to create tough matchups on the perimeter was on display plenty of times this past season.
Eight other players are due on the transfer portal…..
