Predicting where the top 10 college basketball players in the transfer portal will be playing their college hoops next season.

A few high-impact transfers have already committed to new schools for next season, with Carlik Jones picking Louisville while Seth Towns is off to Ohio State.

There have never been more players in the transfer portal but where will they finish their college basketball careers? Let’s make predictions for the top 10 players in the transfer portal and where they’ll be playing their college basketball next season, beginning with Louisville’s Darius Perry.

Be sure to check out this list for more top players in the transfer portal.

10. G Darius Perry – Louisville to Iona

Jones’ decision to go to Louisville allows him to fill the roster spot vacated by Darius Perry’s decision to transfer. Perry, a 6-foot-2 guard, has good ball skills but may be more effective playing off the ball in his next destination.

A spot that makes a lot of sense for Perry is Iona, which is now coached by former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino. Perry was recruited to Louisville by Pitino, who has indicated he is still searching for a transfer to help institute his program in New Rochelle.

Perry could play off the ball at Iona with Isaiah Washington at the point, giving the Gaels a backcourt featuring two former high-major players. It also makes sense for Perry to finally get a chance to play for Pitino, who was fired by Louisville before Perry’s freshman year.
