North Texas transfer portal target trims top schools down to 4

Florida basketball made the latest cut for this transfer guard out of North Texas.

Florida basketball made the latest cut for former North Texas Mean Green guard Tylor Perry, who is currently in search of greener pastures through the transfer portal. The 5-foot-11-inch, 182-pound ballhandler released his list of top-four preferred schools on his personal Twitter account Tuesday night and Todd Golden’s team earned a mention.

Along with the Gators, the Ole Miss Rebels, Kansas State Wildcats and Texas Tech Red Raiders also made the list. Perry was in Gainesville over Easter weekend to get a gander at the Gators’ digs over the course of a few days followed by a visit with Eric Musselman and the Arkansas Razorbacks afterward.

He had also planned a trip to Tuscaloosa to see the Alabama Crimson Tide but nixed that stop after omitting them from his latest top schools list.

The junior from Fort Coffee, Oklahoma, served primarily as a point guard with the Mean Green, averaging 15.6 points on 43.1% from the field and 41.3% from beyond the arc while grabbing 3.2 rebounds, dishing out 2.3 dimes and snatching 1.3 steals per game over his two-year tenure in North Texas. He played two seasons at Coffeeville CC prior to his time in Denton, where he led his squad to the 2021 NJCAA DI National Championship in 2020-21.

The Gators have added four players through the transfer portal — forward Tyrese Samuel, point guard Walter Clayton Jr., forward EJ Jarvis and center Micah Handlogten — along with two members from the 2023 high school recruiting class in forwards Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh.

Arkansas hosts North Texas standout transfer Tylor Perry on Friday

Arkansas basketball hosted the 2022-23 Conference-USA Player of the Year on an unofficial visit Friday. What he could bring next year should excite fans.

[autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag] is still not done with the transfer portal.

After having already added four impact transfers this off-season, the Razorbacks were able to host one of the best shooters still in the transfer portal on a visit Friday afternoon.

North Texas guard [autotag]Tylor Perry[/autotag] announced on his Twitter that he would be in Fayetteville for a visit on Friday morning before tweeting out pictures of him in a Razorback uniform that evening. Perry announced on April 3rd that he’d be transferring from North Texas after an incredible 2022-23 season with the Mean Green.

The 5-11, 182-pound guard played in every game and averaged 17.3 PTS, 3.4 REB, 2.1 AST, 43.7 FG%, 41.3 3PT% and 87.2 FT% while playing 34.1 minutes per game. Perry’s phenomenal season landed him Conference-USA Player of the Year and NIT Most Outstanding Player honors.

Yesterday it was revealed that Perry’s list of potential landing spots was cut down to just eight schools, which included Arkansas. Alabama, Louisville, Ole Miss, Florida, Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are the other schools that Perry is considering.

Perry is arguably the best shooter in the transfer portal right now and would provide the Razorbacks with yet another deep range weapon. The backcourt for Arkansas is somewhat crowded at the moment, but a player of his caliber is someone that you make room for any way you can. Musselman has already had an incredible off-season with his portal additions, and it appears we’re far from finished.

Alabama MBB reaches out to North Texas transfer Tylor Perry

Alabama has reportedly reached out to North Texas guard transfer Tylor Perry. Perry was the Conference USA Player of the Year in 2022-2023.

Alabama has reached out to North Texas guard transfer Tylor Perry.

Other programs that have reached out are Florida, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Perry’s head coach at North Texas, Grant McCasland, is now the head coach at Texas Tech. That is something to keep an eye on as Perry’s recruitment unfolds.

Perry was named the 2023 Conference USA Player of the Year. He was also selected as a member of the First-Team All-Conference USA.

As a junior, he averaged 17.3 points per game, 3.4 rebounds per game, and 2.1 assists per game. Perry shot 43.7% from the field and 41.3% from distance.

Last season, Perry scored 20 or more points in 14 games for North Texas. He helped the Mean Green win the 2023 NIT Championship against in-conference foe UAB.

Alabama lost two guards (Jaden Bradley, Nimari Burnett) to the transfer portal with two other guards (Jahvon Quinerly, Mark Sears) declaring for the NBA Draft. Both could elect to return to college. Nonetheless, he would add depth to Alabama’s backcourt if Perry were to commit.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama basketball program and its involvement in the transfer portal.

REPORT: Alabama basketball to host C-USA Player of the Year Tylor Perry next week

Alabama basketball is expected to host the C-USA Player of the Year, Tylor Perry next week!

Joe Tipton of On3 has reported that [autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama men’s basketball team are expected to receive a visit next week from the reigning Conference USA Player of the Year, Tylor Perry.

Perry averaged over 17 points per game for the North Texas Mean Green during the 2022-23 season and shot an impressive 41.3% from behind the arc on around six attempts per game.

Perry entered the transfer portal on April 4 and is expected to land somewhere within the SEC. Currently, On3 gives Arkansas a 37.8% chance of landing Perry while the Crimson Tide has a 33.1% chance.

Perry would be a great addition to the Alabama backcourt for the 2023-23 season.
