Report: Devan Cambridge set to visit multiple Power 5 schools, will consider SEC return

Arizona State transfer wing Devan Cambridge is receiving plenty of Power 5 interest and has a visit lined up in a few days. According to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein, Cambridge is scheduled to visit Pac-12 foe Oregon on Sunday and is also considering Clemson, Texas Tech and Auburn.

Cambridge spent the first three seasons of his college career at Auburn before transferring to ASU this past season to team up with his brother, Desmond. However, with Desmond Cambridge exhausting his final season of eligibility in 2022-23, Devan is at least considering a return to where he started.

Across his three years in Auburn, Cambridge averaged 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. This past year with the Sun Devils, he put up 9.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 35 games, including 34 starts. He shot 49.4% from the floor and 29.6% from the 3-point line.

Devan Cambridge ranks as the No. 95 overall player and No. 25 small forward according to On3’s Transfer Portal Rankings. On3 predicts him to have a 93.2% chance of transferring to Oregon.

Cambridge played high school basketball for Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 228 overall player and No. 53 small forward in the 2019 class according to the On3 Industry Rating, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Devan Cambridge will have one year of eligibility remaining and should be able to play immediately upon graduating.

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.

A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
