Transfer portal activity is off and running as we have entered roster-building season in college basketball despite this being Final Four week. One of the teams making the trip to San Antonio recorded a very big portal recruiting win on Wednesday night.

UCF transfer Keyshawn Hall will be on his fourth school in four season in 2025-26. The Cleveland native will finish his collegiate career playing for Bruce Pearl at Auburn.

Kentucky conducted a Zoom call with Keyshawn Hall. Arkansas and Kansas were also involved in this recruitment. The Tigers are scheduled to lose both Johni Broome and Dylan Cardwell. Hall will fill a big role in the frontcourt on the Plains.

Keyshawn Hall was the leading scorer in the Big 12 as a junior playing for head coach Johnny Dawkins at UCF. The four-man earned second-team all-conference honors by averaging 18.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists on .427/.354/.816 shooting splits in 33.5 minutes per game. Hall scored 40 points against Arizona State in January and dropped 30-plus points against Kansas and Oklahoma State in league play.

The multi-time transfer was an All-Atlantic 10 performer at George Mason as a sophomore. In 2023-24, the forward led his team in scoring (16.6), rebounds (8.1), and free throws made (114) after beginning his career at UNLV.

Kam Williams remains Kentucky’s only transfer addition but decisions are now starting to fly off the handle. Buckle in for a wild few days as teams scramble to build rosters.
