On this episode of That’s a W, host Vince Wolfram breaks down why the college basketball offseason is far from finished, even with the transfer portal closed and NBA Draft early entry deadlines passed.

Wolfram opens the show with the biggest recruiting commitment of the week, as No. 1 overall prospect Tyran Stokes commits to Kansas. He explains how Stokes fits into Bill Self’s system, why his versatility makes him a potential program changing player, and how his arrival could quickly push Kansas back into national title contention.

Next, Wolfram takes a look at the top contenders heading into the 2026 to 27 season, including Arizona, St. John’s, Kentucky, BYU, and Villanova, and breaks down why each program is still missing a critical piece that could define its ceiling. From looming NBA Draft decisions to major roster gaps, the national title picture remains wide open.

To close the episode, Wolfram highlights three under the radar big men still in the transfer portal who could emerge as major steals for teams in need of frontcourt help, the type of late additions that can shift the balance of a season.

With roster movement still unfolding and key decisions still to come, this episode dives into everything shaping the next college basketball season.
