Former Five-Star Recruit Sends Message to Departing Kansas Star
AJ Storr had a nice breakout campaign as a sophomore during the 2023-24 season as a member of the Wisconsin Badgers when he averaged 16.8 points a game after managing just 8.8 points a game as a freshman.
He transferred to Kansas for this past season, but his scoring fell to 6.1 points per game and he was only able to hit on 38.4% of his field-goal attempts.

He recently entered the transfer portal, and he has now announced that he will be playing for Ole Miss during the 2025-26 campaign. He made the announcement on his personal Instagram account on Tuesday.
Elmarko Jackson, a Kansas guard who was once a five-star recruit, replied to Storr's post.
"Let's go ajila," Jackson wrote.
Storr is 6-foot-7 and 205 pounds, and he can play both the off-guard and small forward positions. He showed some promise as a 3-point shooter during his freshman year, but he has shot a low percentage from 3-point range over the last two seasons.
He isn't an effective defender, but he can use his athleticism and size to score from all three levels.

Kansas reached the men's NCAA Tournament this year, but it lost to the Arkansas Razorbacks 79-72 in the opening round. Storr came off the bench to score 15 points on 4-of-7 shooting in that game.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss made it to the Sweet Sixteen, where it lost by three points to Michigan State.
This will be the fourth college Storr has played for in as many seasons. He was at St. John's as a freshman before heading over to the Badgers the following year.

USC baseball loses outfielder Brayden Dowd to transfer portal
Coming off the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in a decade, USC baseball suffered a major loss earlier this month when ace pitcher Caden Aoki entered the transfer portal. This week, the Trojans lost another key player to the portal in outfielder Brayden Dowd. As a sophomore this year, Dowd started 57 of USC's 60 games. He finished the season batting .324 with 10 home runs, 36 RBIs, and a .970 OPS. Losing Dowd is certainly a big blow for a Trojans program looking to improve off of this year's run. The Trojans made it to the final of the Corvallis Regional, where they fell to Oregon State. Now, they will need to replace a lot of production in the outfield as they look to build off of this year's run. USC has made great progress in three seasons under head coach Andy Stankiewicz, but the program still has a long way to go in terms of competing with the country's elite. Expect Stankiewicz to attack the transfer portal hard this offseason as the Trojans look to turn their roster from one of a tournament team into a legitimate national contender.
