Starting five:
Michael Jones, Stanford
The 6-5 Woodbury product will be the first transfer to play for Stanford since 2009. Jones helped to lead Davidson to the Atlantic 10 title and NCAA tournament last season.
Gabe Kalscheur, Iowa State
The former Gophers and DeLaSalle guard scored 22 points against ex-rival Wisconsin to lead the Cyclones to the Sweet 16 in T.J. Otzelberger's first season.
Kerwin Walton, Texas Tech
After playing in the national title game last season, the former Hopkins standout decided to enter the transfer portal and landed in Lubbock with a chance to earn more minutes.
Tyler Wahl, Wisconsin
He's the leading returning scorer for Wisconsin, and his success has led to more players from Lakeville North picking the Badgers. He's their new leader after Johnny Davis left for the NBA.
Race Thompson, Indiana
Son of Gophers football great Darrell Thompson and former Armstrong player returned to the Hoosiers for a sixth season to contend for a Big Ten title with frontcourt mate Trayce Jackson-Davis.
