Kentucky Loses Two to Portal as Kansas State’s David Castillo Plans Exit Under New 15-Day Window

A shortened NCAA window will force quick choices for teams.

Overview

  • Kentucky lost two players Friday when freshman Jasper Johnson said he would transfer and forward Brandon Garrison placed his name in the portal.
  • Kansas State guard David Castillo said he will enter the portal on April 7 after averaging 10.3 points with 16 starts as a sophomore.
  • Local reporting in Manhattan says new Kansas State coach Casey Alexander is bracing for significant roster turnover as he assembles his first team.
  • The NCAA’s men’s basketball transfer period now runs only April 7–21, concentrating decisions and roster moves into 15 days.
  • Johnson has three years of eligibility left and Garrison has one, which could shape their landing spots and how Kentucky and Kansas State rebuild this month.
