Just hours after Selection Sunday, the transfer portal opened in college basketball. Not even one day later, a ton of names have been entered into the portal as we await the first day of NCAA Tournament games.
Pepperdine transfer Michael Ajayi is one player that UCLA has reached out to already, as Joe Tipton of On3 reports. Other programs that reached out to Ajayi so far include Indiana, Kansas, Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Gonzaga, Virginia, Ole Miss, USC, and Xavier.
Ajayi averaged 17.2 points and 9.9 rebounds for Pepperdine this past season and was the leading scorer for the Waves. He is a junior and is an attractive player in the portal for a number of schools, and there is already stiff competition for him.
Ajayi shot 47 percent from three this season and had 30 points with 17 rebounds against Pacific on February 21. He is a double-double machine that can shoot from downtown, so there should be a ton of offers coming his way.
