Stanford Hoops

A collection of my thoughts on Stanford sports, with an emphasis on basketball and recruiting

NEWS: Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie says he’s staying in the NBA draft.

“I already talked with Kyle Smith and I talked to my agents and my family. I'm staying in the draft,” Okorie said.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

@TMundy_15 @JamieShaw5 He didn’t enter the portal and the portal is closed

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

Would’ve loved to see Giltay develop at Stanford but he’ll get a chance to play for one of the best teams in the country (and one in need of big men)

[Joe Tipton @JoeTipton]

NEWS: Stanford transfer big man Oskar Giltay has committed to UConn, his agents @Dillon_Buchanan and @pinesportsgroup told @On3.

The 6-10 freshman from Belgium averaged 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game this season.

Giltay in high demand

[Sam Kayser @KayserHoops]

VISIT NEWS: Stanford transfer Oskar Giltay visited St. Louis yesterday and is visiting UConn today, source tells @LeagueRDY.

The 6-foot-10 big man is an elite rebounder and defender who spent one season at Stanford. He averaged 3.3PPG, 4.1RPG and 1.2BPG while shooting nearly 63% from the floor this season.

Repped by @pinesportsgroup and @Dillon_Buchanan.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

Van Elswyk is the son of former Stanford player Peter Van Elswyk (1996-1998). Redshirted this past season at Colorado

[Verbal Commits @VerbalCommits]

Hunger was a Stanford target

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

NEWS: George Washington transfer Luke Hunger has committed to Boston College, agent Derek Malloy told DraftExpress.

The 6'10 Canadian big man averaged 9.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in 21 minutes per game in the Atlantic-10.

Sixth portal pickup for Luke Murray at BC.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

Stanford still on the hunt for their first portal pick-up

[Transfer Portal @TransferPortal]

NEW: San Francisco guard Ryan Beasley has signed with Washington, @PeteNakos reports☔️

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

Another departure from the Stanford staff, Bell follows his former Princeton AC 🌲

[Kevin Sweeney @CBB_Central]

New Dartmouth HC Brett MacConnell has hired Amir Bell as an assistant coach.

Cool story here as Bell was MacConnell's first recruit as an assistant at Princeton and wrapped up playing professionally last year. Spent 2025-26 season at Stanford, where MacConnell was an assistant.

[College Basketball Content @CBBcontent]

George Washington transfer Luke Hunger completed visits with Boston College and Stanford, a source told me.

The 6-10 center averaged 13.1 PPG, 6.9 RPG and shot 36.7% from three in the 12 games he started to end the season.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

[Sam Kayser @KayserHoops]

VISIT NEWS: San Francisco transfer Ryan Beasley was on campus at Stanford this past weekend and is planning visits to Washington and Notre Dame, source told @LeagueRDY

Beasley was named Second Team All-WCC in 2025-26, averaging 13.6PPG, 4.0APG, 3.4RPG and 1.2SPG.

He’s also receiving interest from Minnesota, Nebraska, NC State and Grand Canyon. One of the top PG’s in the portal.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

@DeffShepherd He played a large role in modernizing the UVA athletic department and reviving the football program. Stanford Athletics is in dire need of experienced collegiate athletic administrators that are not stuck in the Stanford way. This is a great step for the dept.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

This is a big time move 🌲

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Stanford is set to hire Virginia deputy AD Tyler Jones as the school’s new Deputy AD/COO of athletics. Jones comes from a role at UVA where his role as deputy AD included general manager and chief strategy officer.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

Best case scenario here for the 🌲!!

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

NEWS: Stanford's Ebuka Okorie will declare for the NBA Draft, agents CJ Ward and Mike Miller of LIFT Sports told DraftExpress.

The 18-year-old projected first-rounder led the ACC in scoring at 23.1 PPG.

Has "two feet in the Draft," but if he returns, it will be to Stanford.

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

IMO, Stanford should be all over any highly rated kid from Harvard-Westlake, but there will be a long list for Khamenia

[Travis Branham @TravisBranham_]

BREAKING: Duke freshman Nikolas Khamenia is entering the transfer portal, a source confirms to @247Sports.

Averaged 5.7 PPG, 3.3 RPG and 1.0 APG this season.

An expected departure, but JT really came on strong at the end of this season. Will leave with his Stanford degree - best of luck to him at his next stop 🌲

[Stanford On3 Rivals @StanfordRivals]

Stanford redshirt sophomore wing Jaylen Thompson has entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer with two years of eligibility remaining… https://t.co/xMAaLZyI3V

#Stanford #ACCMBB

[Stanford Hoops @StanfordHoop]

Cam Grant, a walk-on, will earn his Stanford degree in just 3 years and now hit the transfer portal. Best of luck to him at his next stop, had some nice moments this past season 🌲

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

Stanford 6-8 forward Cameron Grant is entering the transfer portal, source told @TheFieldOf68.

A grad transfer with two years remaining. He is also a DSA who doesn’t count against roster limits.
