UCLA eyeing Stanford freshman Kanaan Carlyle in portal.

The UCLA Bruins are leaving no page unturned as they are working in the transfer portal. The Bruins have shown interest in Stanford’s Kanaan Carlyle along with plenty of other schools.

Carlyle averaged 11.9 PPG with 2.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds for Stanford. Jarod Haase was let go and Stanford hired Washington State coach Kyle Smith in a flurry of Pac-12 coaching carousel moves.

Karlyle has also heard from the following schools, per 24/7 High School Hoops:

  • Duke
  • Texas Tech
  • Arkansas
  • Oklahoma
  • Georgia
  • Georgia Tech
  • Miami
  • Villanova
  • Indiana
  • Baylor
  • Cincinnati
  • Florida State
  • Clemson
  • Gonzaga

Carlyle just finished his freshman year at Stanford, so he is expected to be one of the most coveted players in the portal.

The Athletic has Carlyle as the 5th best player in the portal for a number of reasons, so there is no doubt this would be a massive addition to Mick Cronin’s team as they head for the Big Ten in 2024.

Blue Devils have reportedly reached out to Stanford transfer Kanaan Carlyle

Kanaan Carlyle, who averaged 11.5 points for Stanford as a freshman, has reportedly heard from Duke since he entered the portal.

Duke might be working in the transfer portal amid March Madness.

Kanaan Carlyle, a former four-star prospect and 247Sports’ No. 59 overall player in the Class of 2023, entered the transfer portal earlier this week. 24/7 High School Hoops reported on Saturday afternoon that Carlyle has heard from at least 15 schools since he joined the portal, including the Blue Devils.

Carlyle averaged 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists as a freshman for Stanford last season. He played in 23 games, starting in 16 of them, and his season-high of 31 points came in a January loss to Washington State. He scored at least 20 points in two other contests.

The former Cardinal has also reportedly heard from Baylor, Gonzaga, UCLA, Indiana, Clemson, Florida State, and Villanova, among other schools.

Duke won’t struggle for depth next season either way as its vaunted 2024 recruiting class features four five-star players and six of the top 50 players in the class.
