Three Tulsa men's basketball players, including the American Conference Freshman of the Year, PJ Haggerty, have entered the transfer portal, potentially posing a challenge for the TU program.

By the Numbers
  • PJ Haggerty led the Hurricane in scoring at 21.2 points per game and started all 31 games this season, averaging 33.6 minutes per game.
  • Jarred Hall averaged 10.7 minutes in 24 games, with 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per contest.
  • Carlous Williams started 25 of 31 games, averaging 5.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Yes, But

There is a possibility that any or all of these players could return to Tulsa, and the program is working to enhance its competitiveness in the new NIL landscape.

State of Play
  • Tulsa showed improvement under Coach Eric Konkol, achieving a 16-15 record this year, a significant progression from the previous year.
  • Large sums of money offered by programs from major conferences could pose a challenge in retaining TU's best players.
What's Next

The potential return of the players and TU's efforts to adapt to the new NIL landscape will shape the future dynamics of the program.

Bottom Line

The departure of key players to the transfer portal could impact Tulsa's basketball program, raising challenges in retaining talent and competing effectively in the evolving college basketball landscape.
