Good Morning!
Here’s the 4/14/26 Portal Update:
Aiden Sherrell (Alabama C) — Indiana, Michigan State, Duke (top three); LSU, Baylor (light chatter). Already visited Indiana. RPM: Indiana.
Kayden Mingo (Penn State G) — Baylor (visited), Oklahoma (possible visit), Villanova, Providence (both pushing); BYU, Cincinnati, Pitt, Memphis also in contact. Baylor the frontrunner if he doesn’t commit on visit.
Isaac Celiscar (Yale SF) — Kentucky, Texas A&M, Minnesota (top three); DePaul (in-home, but fading). Campus visits coming soon.
Sebastian Rancik (Colorado PF) — Florida State, Indiana, BYU (visits in that order); Kentucky also had a Zoom. Florida State first in line.
Karter Knox (Arkansas F) — Louisville (visiting), South Carolina, Missouri. Louisville has first crack.
Bangot Dak (Colorado C) — SMU (visited, went well); Miami making a push. RPM: SMU, but not fully closed.
Jayden Reid (Northwestern PG) — Providence (visited); Memphis (Zoom earlier). No RPM placed yet, watching Providence visit closely.
Luke Wilson (App State C) — UCLA (visited); Purdue, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Mississippi State (Zooms only). No other visits scheduled yet.
Isaiah Denis (UNC G) — Strong possibility he pulls his name from the portal and returns to UNC under Michael Malone

🚨 Juke Harris Update 🚨
The Race: Michigan, UNC, Tennessee — no frontrunner yet as of Tuesday morning.
The Money: Expected to land upward of $3M, could balloon in a bidding war.
Visit Rundown: Michigan on Saturday (championship celebration), then UNC and Tennessee on Sunday. Rick Barnes was back in contact Monday night, Malone expected to reach out again soon.
The NBA wrinkle: He’s going through the draft process, which could slow the timeline considerably.
Michigan’s pitch is “come repeat,” which is compelling. Tennessee needs perimeter scoring and Barnes clearly isn’t letting this one go quietly. UNC under Malone is trying to establish itself quickly and Harris would be a statement get.
The NBA process is the real X-factor here — if he gets real feedback that he’s a realistic pick, this could drag into late May or he walks away from the portal entirely.

BAMA PORTAL UPDATES 🚨
Donnie Freeman – Nate Oats and Preston Murphy flew to Syracuse this morning to meet with the 6-9, 205-pound forward in person. Freeman is the No. 20 overall portal prospect per On3 This one is going to be a battle.
Jamarion Davis-Fleming – The Mississippi State freshman big (6-10, 240) is expected to visit Tuscaloosa. Early stage, but Alabama is getting in front of him.
Cade Phillips – The visit went well, but Phillips is keeping things quiet and hasn’t committed to any further visits yet. Still very much in play.
Bangot Dak & Chol Machot – Alabama has Zoomed with both. Dak is out of Colorado, Machot out of College of Charleston. Each is seeking immediate playing time, which Alabama can offer right now.
John Blackwell – Alabama is in his top four, but this recruitment will come down to finances. He’s expected to be among the most expensive portal targets available.
Moustapha Diop – The 2026 big man got his release from Georgia Tech following the coaching change there and has been in contact with the Alabama staff. One to monitor.
*edit - This is from the last few days. Things change very quickly.
@LionTrees_ How likely is the feeling regarding Louisville and Blackwell/Murauskas/Knox? I’ve come to the consensus they just have the money to do what they want, assuming Folguerias won’t go just because of a more limited role
