NCAA Transfer Portal tracker: See the offseason moves for each Local 6 team--WPSD Local 6
PADUCAH, Ky. -- Monday marked the beginning of the transfer portal
window for NCAA men's college basketball, a window that will remain open
until April 22. Below is the latest on each Local 6 team.
MURRAY STATE
Outlook:
New head coach Ryan Miller will have plenty of work to do. The Racers
will have to replace the bulk of their starting lineup. AJ Ferguson and
Nick Ellington will have one more year of eligibility due to the NCAA
allowing one extra year of eligibility to those who played at a junior
college and exhausted their final year in the 2024-25 season.

G Tristian Ford (Chicago, Ill.)
- Signed with Racers over Arizona State, Texas A&M, App State, and others.
F Kaden Rickard (Madison, Ala.)

in 101 games with 37 starts over the past three seasons at Creighton.

games.

Outlook:

enter year two looking to add more depth after losing top-scorer Ali
Dibba to graduation and potentially Kennard Davis, who's in the portal.
