2025-2026 ACC Basketball Offseason Roster Tracker

Tracking 2025-26 roster movement in a pivotal offseason for ACC basketball.

As the 2024-25 college basketball season comes to a close, hoops degenerates are left to stalk the college basketball transfer portal. It’s a pivotal offseason for ACC basketball as a whole. Only four teams made the NCAA Tournament and nearly everyone outside of Duke, Louisville, and North Carolina will need complete roster overhauls.

The league is turning over a new leaf, of sorts. A few legendary coaches called it quits, including Tony Bennett (Virginia – 15 years), Leonard Hamilton (FSU – 23 years), and Jim Larranaga (Miami – 14 years). Meanwhile, Kevin Keatts (NC State – 8 years) was removed from his position following a massively disappointing year.

Heading into 2025-26, Ryan Odom (VCU – Virginia), Jai Lucas (Duke – Miami), Luke Loucks (Sacramento Kings (NBA) – Florida State), and Will Wade (McNeese – NC State) will look to elevate the conference by upgrading their rosters with tournament caliber players.

Player movement is at an all-time high, and the portal is as active as ever. For programs across the conference, upgrading rosters through every possible avenue isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity.

We saw the success that new coaches can have in the league, as Pat Kelsey dominated in his first season, earning ACC Coach of the Year and national recognition for the program’s turnaround.

There is reason to believe that, with upgrades in talent, ACC basketball will be far better from top to bottom.

The question is, given the new college basketball landscape, just how quickly the influx of new talent can impact the league’s national perception.

Consider this your ACC basketball bible. Through the 2025 offseason, we’ll keep track of the ever-changing ACC basketball rosters. This will include all departures and new additions around the league.

Which squads are reloading for a run at national relevance—and which might be left scrambling? Stay tuned.

Editors note: All “departing” players listed as having graduated is per Verbal Commits scholarship charts. Some players may have extra eligibility. Comment below if you see a player listed incorrectly as being out of eligibility or departing/returning.

4/22/25 – I moved Louisville basketball to the no. 1 spot in my ACC power rankings and I don’t feel bad about it one bit. Call me a fan. Call me an over reactor. Or call me a ball knower (much preferred). Kasean Pryor and J’Vonne Hadley returning (not to mention Rooths, Scott, Khalifa, & Rodgers) plus the additions of Mikel Brown Jr., Ryan Conwell, Isaac McKneely, Sunny Fru and Adrian Wooley gives the Cards the undisputed top roster in the conference as of today. Will that change? Maybe. But as things stand currently, it’s not a overreaction to say the Cards have the top roster in the conference and are legitimate national title contenders.

5/19/25 – We’re nearing the final date for NBA Draft prospects to declare their intentions, which means all eyes are on Duke’s Cedric Coward. While he may not be a household name at this point, after a strong combine performance it’s looking more and more like he’ll be a first rounder. While Duke is still extremely talented, losing all those freshmen + Tyrese Proctor and then their star transfer, will leave them looking at Louisville from the second spot in the power rankings.

5/22/25 – The ACC received a major talent boost when Texas Tech and former Big 12 First Team All-First Teamer Darrion Williams committed to Will Wade & NC State. The Wolfpack are quietly putting together one of the most talented teams via the portal.
