Memphis’s former Guard, PJ Haggerty, is the best trailo player on the male university basketball transfer portal that is not testing the NBA Draft process. Haggerty was a great scorer for the Tigers last season, for 21.7 points per game, which he classified. 3 in di and is the best for any scheduled player to return for the 2025-2026 season.
When Haggerty put his name on the transfer portal, according to the reports, he was asking for $ 4 million for his commitment. With so many lists throughout the country already close to Bee’s final, she established a fascinating scenario for an elite player, according to reports, ready to go to the highest offer since she already exhausts her null budget. A new leader for Haggerty has emerged, and is a program with a new chief coach who arrived at the Final Four only two years ago.
The NC State Wolfpack is the favorite to land Haggerty, according to the university informant Jeff Goodman. The chief coach hired by the state of NC Will Wade during the low season, just out of the 42 -year -old person winning a NCAA tournament game with McNese last season.
Ole Miss is now out of the PJ Haggerty raffle, Source said @Thefielddof68.
A source tells me that Ole Miss never spoke with Haggerty through the process.
The state of NC certainly appears as the cutting favorite. https://t.co/ugcnmeumd

Goodman reports that Chris Beard and Ole Miss are no longer a serious suitor for Haggerty. NC State makes a lot of sense to get out of a terrible 12-19 season one year after making a Cinderella race to the Final Four 2024 as seed number 11.
Haggerty can be the main engine for a good university team next season. He had some great games for Memphis at important times, including 42 points against Wichita State in the quarterfinals of the AAC Tournament, and 23 points against the UAB in the game of the conference tournament.
Wade has had a solid low season on the transfer portal for NC State so far, but a main guard is still missing. Wolfpack’s class is currently headed by Terrance Arceneaux as a long -wing defender of Houston, and Tre Holland as an experienced guard of the state of Michigan. Jerry Deng, a 6’9 striker of the state of Florida, is another intriguing addition in the portal as an ex-recruit of the high school of the Top-100.
With Haggerty, NC State would have the opportunity to make the NCAA tournament at the ACC. The 18 team conference only produced four Male Tournament teams of the NCAA last season.
