LJ Cryer is one of the biggest names in the NCAA transfer portal at the moment after the end of the 2022-23 men’s basketball season.
Why would the star guard leave Baylor? Well, it appears he wants the chance to play point guard more.
Early on in his portal process, a pair of SEC teams — Arkansas and Texas A&M — are among the schools to have reached out to Cryer, per Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports:
Baylor transfer LJ Cryer has heard from Arkansas, Gonzaga, Houston, Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State, Texas A&M, & others since entering the portal, he tells @247Sports.
"I am looking to see what school will let me play some time at point guard."
