It could be a two-team race for star transfer Max Abmas. Texas and Kansas State continue their pursuit of the Oral Roberts standout.
Abmas is one of the top scorers in the transfer portal to date. He has scored over 2,500 points at the college level, averaging over 21 points per game in each of the last three seasons.
He was the star of Oral Roberts’ Cinderella run in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. The Golden Eagles entered as a No. 15 seed before upsetting Ohio State and Florida on the way to the Sweet Sixteen. Abmas helped lead ORU back to March Madness this season, winning 30 games in the process.
247Sports ranks Abmas as the No. 3 overall player available in the transfer portal.
Texas has been on the bad side of the transfer portal thus far, losing Arterio Morris and Rowan Brumbaugh in the last week. Abmas could be the first domino to fall in favor of Rodney Terry and the Longhorns this offseason.
Texas and Kansas State "continue to come up" with highly coveted portal PG Max Abmas, per @JamieShaw5.
Abmas has scored 2,561 career points and will enter next season as the NCAA's active total points leaderđź‘€https://t.co/qm1TX9V8y7 pic.twitter.com/TSwXQP6Drd
