NEWS: Boston University transfer Ben Defty has committed to Arizona State, he told @LeagueRDY.

The 7-foot big man out of Germany played two seasons at BU and started all 33 games this season.

He averaged 15.1PPG, 6.8RPG, 1.9APG and 1.7BPG in 2025-26.

[Henry Dinh-Price @henrydinhprice]

Defty joins ASU, led by Randy Bennett, the longtime head coach at Saint Mary’s.

ASU now has seven incoming players and nine leaving.

Center Massamba Diop, the sixth-ranked player in the portal, is notably transferring from ASU, which opens a path for Defty to start.

[Otto Landrum @LandrumOtto]

The last 4 years at BU have been nothing but life changing. Every win, every loss, I’ve been so appreciative of being a Terrier.

With that being said I will be entering my name into the transfer portal as a graduate student, with one year of eligibility.

And now the second domino has fallen.

BU has lost Chance Gladden and Ben Defty in back-to-back days.

Defty was second in the NCAA in field goal percentage. He made the All-Patriot League second team and All-Defensive team.

@caseinpointbu

[Henry Dinh-Price @henrydinhprice]

Well the first domino has fallen, as freshman point guard Chance Gladden intends to enter the transfer portal.

Last year, BU was one of five D1 schools to not lose a player to the portal. It will not have the same luxury this time around.

@caseinpointbu

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

Boston University 6-4 freshman point guard Chance Gladden intends to enter the transfer portal, his agency Gersh Sports told @Thefieldof68.

The Raleigh, N.C. native was terrific this past season, averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 boards. He had 26 points in a Patriot League semifinal win over top-seeded Navy.

[Case In Point @caseinpointbu]

In Patriot League final, BU's inevitable offense collapsed: "We hadn't had a night like this all year."
