Missouri forward Aidan Shaw entering NCAA Transfer Portal
Missouri Tigers men’s basketball forward Aidan Shaw has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, he announced via social media on Tuesday. He averaged 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.2 assists for the SEC program, who made the NCAA Tournament, during the 2024-25 season.
“I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to the Mizzou staff for the opportunity to play at the University of Missouri,” Shaw posted on X. “Over the past three years, I have had truly remarkable experiences filled with unforgettable moments. I am incredibly grateful for the amazing fans and the wonderful individuals I’ve encountered along this journey.
“Although it is a difficult decision, I believe it is important to prioritize my future. After careful consideration and discussions with my family, I have decided to enter the transfer portal. Thank you, Mizzou, for everything.”
Shaw played high school basketball at Blue Valley (Stilwell, KS), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 59 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
This past season, Missouri was on an impressive run. However, they finished with a bit of a sputter. They lost five of their final seven games before the NCAA Tournament, and they were quickly disposed of during the Round of 64, falling to the Drake Bulldogs. Shaw did not play in the 10-point loss.
