Big East Most Improved Player Desmond Claude has committed to Southern California.

• Claude, who played in 69 games (35 starts) in two seasons at Xavier, elected to join the Trojans under new head coach Eric Musselman after visiting their campus last weekend.

  "It honestly felt like a perfect fit from the first call," the 6-foot-6 guard told ESPN on Thursday. "The academic support, basketball resources and basketball vision all seemed custom-made for me. Also, coach Musselman has a proven track record over the past several years of helping big lead guards make the jump to being NBA-ready guards."

  Claude's scoring average jumped from 4.7 as a freshman to 16.6 as a sophomore.

  Claude, who made only 23.9 percent of his 3-point tries last season, scored 30 points in his final game for the Musketeers at Georgia in an opening-round loss in the NIT.

  He led the Big East in scoring during March with 22.8 points per game.

  In addition to increased scoring, Claude played 33.8 minutes per game and averaged 4.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists last season.

Former Washington State and Villanova guard TJ Bamba is transferring to Oregon, The Athletic reported Thursday.

• Bamba appeared to confirm his move to the Ducks by posting three duck emojis on X.

  He played three seasons with the Cougars before averaging 10.1 points in 33 starts for the Wildcats in 2023-24.

  Bamba has averaged 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 119 career games (84 starts).

Ex-Florida Atlantic star Johnell Davis announced Wednesday that he has committed to Arkansas and new coach John Calipari.

• Davis posted a picture of himself in an Arkansas uniform with the word COMMITTED on his Instagram page.

  Davis is also going through the NBA draft process for the second straight season. Last year, he pulled out and returned to Florida Atlantic.

  One of the top guards in the transfer portal, Davis scored 1,431 career points in four seasons at FAU. He averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and made 132 3-point baskets in 128 games (53 starts). He also accumulated 155 steals.

  Davis averaged 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 34 games this season for the Owls. He was named American Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year.

  Davis emerged as a known commodity late in FAU's epic program-best 35-4 season in 2022-23. The Owls advanced to the Final Four but failed to reach the national title game when San Diego State's Lamont Butler hit a game-ending basket.

  Davis leaves Florida Atlantic after coach Dusty May departed to become Michigan's new coach.

  Joining Arkansas earlier this offseason were forward Jonas Aidoo (Tennessee) and Zvonimir Ivisic (Kentucky). Former Wildcats recruits Boogie Fland, Karter Knox and Billy Richmond also have followed Calipari to Arkansas.

Dayton transfer Koby Brea, one of the nation's best 3-point shooters, announced his commitment to Kentucky on Wednesday.

• Later in the day, point guard Kerr Kriisa also joined the Kentucky program, raising the number of newcomers to nine since Mark Pope became coach of the Wildcats.

  Kriisa played three seasons for Arizona before spending 2023-24 at West Virginia. He is a native of Estonia and confirmed his decision to ESPN.

  Brea, a 6-foot-6 guard, drained 100 treys at a national-leading 49.8 percent clip during his fourth season with the Flyers in 2023-24. He averaged 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 33 games (four starts).

  The two-time Atlantic 10 Conference Sixth Man of the Year chose the Wildcats over Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, UConn and others.

  "Growing up, I was told I was dreaming too big whenever I'd say my dream was to play for the University of Kentucky," Brea told ESPN. "I feel like God does everything for a reason, and He has put me in a position where I'm able to play for my dream school in my last year of college, while playing for something bigger than myself."

  Brea averaged 7.9 points and 3.1 rebounds and shot 43.4 percent from behind the arc over 113 games (21 starts) at Dayton. He made 224 treys and just 86 two-point baskets.

  Pope recruited Brea on two occasions during his stint at BYU but came up empty both times. Brea is a good fit for Pope, whose BYU squad ranked third in the country last season in 3-pointers made per game (11.1).

  Kriisa sports career averages of 9.7 points and 4.7 assists and has knocked down 238 3-pointers in 99 games (93 starts).

  In his lone season at West Virginia, he averaged 11 points and 4.7 assists in 23 games (all starts). He made 61 3-pointers after twice making 80 or more for Arizona.

  Brea and Kriisa become the sixth and seventh transfer additions for Pope, along with guards Lamont Butler (San Diego State) and Otega Oweh (Oklahoma) and forwards Andrew Carr (Wake Forest), Brandon Garrison (Oklahoma State) and Amari Williams (Drexel).

  In addition, incoming freshmen guards Collin Chandler and Travis Perry have joined the program.

All-American guard RJ Davis took a page out of North Carolina legend Michael Jordan's playbook to announce he will play a fifth season with the Tar Heels.

• "I'm back," Davis posted Wednesday on Instagram, the same two-word message Jordan famously faxed to announce his return to the NBA in 1995.

  Davis was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year in 2023-24 after averaging 21.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 37 starts for the Tar Heels.

  He has played in 138 games (118 starts) for UNC, averaging 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists and shooting 37.2 percent from 3-point range.

  Davis eclipsed the 2,000-point mark last season and sits fifth on the school's all-time scoring list with 2,088 points. He has a shot to pass Tyler Hansbrough (2,872 points) as the top scorer in North Carolina and ACC history.

Illinois big Coleman Hawkins entered the transfer portal Tuesday while preparing for the upcoming NBA draft.

• The 6-foot-10 Hawkins could still choose to withdraw from the draft and use his fifth and final year of NCAA eligibility. Players have until Wednesday to enter the portal.

  "My intention is 100% to stay in the draft and I am fully focused on that process," Hawkins wrote on social media Tuesday. "I wanted to make sure I take every opportunity to protect myself in case of injury or any other unforeseen circumstances down the road.

  "With the recent NCAA rule change regarding grad transfers, and the May 1 deadline approaching, entering the portal gives me the best chance to protect myself in those instances and maximize my opportunities as I go through the pre-draft process."

  Hawkins scored a career-high 12.1 points per game while adding 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 blocks over 35 games (all starts) this past season. He shot a career-best 36.9 percent from 3-point range and was named an All-Big Ten honorable mention.

  In 126 games (82 starts) for Illinois over four seasons, Hawkins has contributed 7.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

  Also Tuesday, Illinois secured a transfer commitment from Evansville forward Ben Humrichous. In his first season of Division I basketball, Humrichous put up 14.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game while shooting 41.4 percent from deep.

Former Florida Atlantic point guard Nick Boyd has transferred to San Diego State, the latter school announced Tuesday.

• Boyd has two seasons of eligibility remaining and was a member of the FAU team that lost to the Aztecs in the memorable 2023 Final Four.

  "Nick is everything you want in a player," San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher said. "He prioritizes winning first and foremost. He is an elite point guard as both a scorer and playmaker. His ability to score at all three levels, 3-point shot, midrange and at the rim make him very hard to defend."

  Boyd played in 88 games and made 51 starts in three seasons for the Owls. He averaged 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists and made 126 3-point baskets.

  Last season, Boyd averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27 games (14 starts). He knocked down 42 3-pointers.

  Boyd made a career-best 68 3-pointers and shot 40 percent from behind the arc in 2022-23, when FAU posted a school-best 35-4 record. The Owls were on the verge of reaching the national title game but San Diego State's Lamont Butler made a game-ending shot to end that dream and push the Aztecs into the championship game.

  Ironically, Butler just transferred from San Diego State to Kentucky.

  Boyd made the winning layup with 2.5 seconds remaining in FAU's 66-65 victory over Memphis in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. That marked the Owls' first-ever NCAA win.

  "As I look back on my time here in Boulder, I'm truly grateful," da Silva said in an Instagram post. "From the moment I arrived on campus to my final game as a Buffalo, I've felt like a part of the family.

  "After careful consideration alongside my family and loved ones, with excitement and gratitude, I will be entering the 2024 NBA Draft."

  Colorado (26-11) earned a first-four victory over Boise State and got past Florida 102-100 in a first-round 2024 NCAA Tournament game before falling to Marquette 81-77 in the second round.

  "I chose UConn because I want to compete for national championships," Mahaney told ESPN. "UConn is a place that keeps the main thing the main thing. The coaching staff has proven themselves to be the best in the country the last two years."

  Mahaney burst onto the scene as a freshman by shooting 40 percent from 3-point range for the Gaels. In 69 games (60 starts) at Saint Mary's, he averaged 13.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 37.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Five-star wing Liam McNeeley, one of the best available high school prospects in the Class of 2024, announced Friday he will join two-time defending champion UConn.

• "I'm dialed in from Storrs," McNeeley said on social media, confirming multiple reports that he had committed to Dan Hurley and the Huskies.

The culture of the team. The sets they run. They are going to help me get better on both sides of the ball. The whole coaching staff are good people."

  The McDonald's All-American is a sharpshooter who reportedly made 45 percent of his 3-pointers as a high school senior.

  He will help fill the vacancy left by Tristen Newton and Cam Spencer, two of UConn's starters last year who have each run out of college eligibility. Spencer shot 44 percent from deep and Newton scored a team-high 15.1 points per game.

Lamont Butler, who starred for San Diego State in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, will play his final year of college basketball at Kentucky, multiple reports said Friday.

• Butler entered the transfer portal Wednesday after four seasons with the Aztecs. He averaged 7.7 points, 2.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 131 career games (102 starts).

  Butler permanently etched his name in San Diego State lore by swishing a buzzer-beating shot as time expired to give the Aztecs a 72-71 victory over Florida Atlantic in the 2023 Final Four.

  He was crucial to the Aztecs' run to the national title game, putting up 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals and shooting 38.9 percent from 3-point range in those six tournament games before San Diego State fell to UConn in the final.

  This past season, Butler had a career-high 9.3 ppg to go with 3.0 assists, 2.6 boards and 1.5 steals and was named the Mountain West's Defensive Player of the Year.

All-American center Hunter Dickinson is returning to Kansas for his final season of college eligibility in 2024-25.

• The 7-foot-2 Dickinson transferred to Kansas prior to last season from Michigan and was a second-team All-American and All-Big 12 First Team selection.

  He confirmed the decision to run it back in Lawrence by replying to coach Bill Self via social media Friday.

  Self posted to X, "Hey (Hunter) have you made a decision yet? Everybody want to know what you're thinking."

  Dickinson replied: "Yeah you're right coach. I guess it's time to tell everyone I'm coming back! Rock Chalk!"

  Kansas landed a fourth major transfer earlier Friday with the official commitment from Alabama's Rylan Griffen. He joins South Dakota State guard Zeke Mayo, former Wisconsin forward AJ Storr and former Florida guard Riley Kugel as the newcomers to Self's squad via the portal this offseason.

  Kansas lost four of its final five games entering the NCAA Tournament and was defeated in the second round by Gonzaga (89-68). Dickinson had 15 points on 6-of-15 shooting.

  After Kansas finished its season shooting 33 percent from 3-point range, Self vowed to upgrade the perimeter around Dickinson.

  Dickinson is capable of making those shots, but the post presence can also bully defenders in the paint with strength and a soft touch around the rim. He averaged 17.9 points and 10.9 rebounds at Kansas last season, but ended the season with a shoulder injury.

  Dickinson averaged 18.6 points and 8.6 rebounds as a sophomore at Michigan in 2021-22 and put up 18.5-9.0 as a junior before leaving for Kansas.

"I think I fit in because they said they needed shooting. I think I can help them in that area. I think I can help them with perimeter defense and help get stops and help carry on the same winning culture they've always had."

  In two years with the Crimson Tide, Griffin averaged 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 73 games (33 starts, all as a sophomore). He's a 35.4 percent career 3-point shooter, including shooting 39.2 percent from the arc in his sophomore season.
