A.J. Storr Explores Transfer Portal Options
Wisconsin Badgers guard A.J. Storr has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, opening up a new chapter in his college basketball career. The 6’5″ junior guard averaged 3.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 25 games for Wisconsin last season.
Background
Storr, a native of Prior Lake, Minnesota, joined Wisconsin as a three-star recruit in 2020. He played sparingly in his first two seasons, but earned a more significant role in 2022-23 under new head coach Luke Fickell. However, with the Badgers facing a crowded backcourt, Storr has decided to explore his options elsewhere.
Possible Transfer Destinations
According to sources close to Storr, several schools are expressing interest in his services. Among the potential destinations are:
- Creighton Bluejays: A Big East contender with a history of developing guards.
- Loyola-Chicago Ramblers: A mid-major power that is known for its up-tempo style of play.
- South Dakota State Jackrabbits: A Summit League powerhouse that has reached the NCAA Tournament in recent years.
Analysis
“A.J. is a talented guard with a lot of potential,” said ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas. “He needs to find a situation where he can get consistent playing time and develop his game. Any of these schools could be a good fit for him.”
Impact
Storr’s departure will leave a hole in Wisconsin’s backcourt. However, the Badgers have several other guards who are expected to step up next season, including Chucky Hepburn, Lorne Bowman, and Isaac Lindsey.
Conclusion
A.J. Storr’s decision to enter the Transfer Portal is a significant development in college basketball. Several schools are interested in his services, and it is likely that he will find a new home soon. Wherever he lands, Storr will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the court.
