The portal for the 2025-26 season opened on March 24, and the news has been coming fast and furious ever since.

The Wildcats have up to three scholarships to fill in this cycle: one that they carried over from last season, and two more from the post-season transfers who left the program. Sources say they would like to land a point guard, a big and a shooter to bolster the roster next season.

Keep track of who's coming in, who's heading out and who the Wildcats are targeting here.

Previous schools: USC, Cincinnati

It took longer than expected, but Northwestern landed its big man on April 24 when Arrinten Page announced his commitment to the Wildcats about a week after his official visit. The two sides took some time to hammer out a revenue sharing deal, but the bottom line is that Northwestern got its desperately needed center.

The 6-foot-11 forward has played two years in college, one at USC and one at Cincinnati, and put up very similar numbers at both schools. He played 9.1 minutes per game for the Bearcats last season and averaged 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.

Page was expected to play a critical role for Cincinnati behind starting center Aziz Bandaogo but saw his playing time decrease over the course of the season. He played just 15 total minutes over the final 12 games, including the Crown Tournament. His best game in Big XII play came against Kansas, when he had nine points and seven rebounds in 14 minutes.

Still, Page is seen as an athletic big with tremendous upside. He was ranked as a four-star and the No. 50 prospect in the nation coming out of Marietta (Ga.) Wheeler in 2023. He chose USC over 19 other offers, including Alabama, Indiana, Florida and UCLA.

Page will help fill the gap at center after the Wildcats lost three centers since the end of the season: Matt Nicholson and Keenan Fitzmorris ran out of eligibility, while Luke Hunger transferred to George Washington.

Status: Freshman

Years remaining: Three

Previous school: Holy Cross

Green is a rising sophomore that averaged 14.9 points and 3.5 assists per game while starting all 31 games for Holy Cross last season. He shot 38.1% on 3-pointers and was named the Patriot League Rookie of the Year.

The 6-foot-6 guard visited campus on April 11 and committed the next day as the second addition for NU in this class. Although Green is listed as a shooting guard, he doesn’t project to a catch-and-shoot type role like Ty Berry; his size and skill lend themselves to a more multifaceted role as a creator and scorer.

This was an impressive addition for the Wildcats, who beat out Florida, Florida State, St. John’s and Illinois among the schools pursuing him.

Status: Sophomore

Years remaining: Two

Previous school: USF

Point guard Jayden Reid is the first addition to Northwestern's 2025 transfer class after two seasons at USF. The 5-foot-10 point guard averaged 12.6 points and 3.6 assists this season for the Bulls, starting 23 of 31 games.

Reid visited Northwestern on March 30 and announced his commitment within a week on April 3. The Wildcats won out against VCU, where Reid visited on March 31 and had a history with -- he was set to commit to VCU out of high school before coach Mike Rhoades left for Penn State. Reid was also reportedly contacted by Cincinnati, Creighton, Loyola-Chicago and St. John's.

He was a four-star prospect ranked in the Rivals150 out of Long Island (N.Y.) Lutheran in the Class of 2023 and was an AAC All-Freshman pick last season for the Bulls.

Status: Redshirt sophomore

Years remaining: Two

Hunger announced his decision to transfer on April 4 after three seasons with the Wildcats. The 6-foot-10 center was a key piece to the team's tournament run in 2023-24, stepping up for the injured Matt Nicholson and averaging 30 minutes per game across the team's Big Ten and NCAA Tournament games, including eight points and eight rebounds in the win over Florida Atlantic.

His third season was a struggle. A sprained foot against Purdue on Jan. 5 and the rise of reserve center Keenan Fitzmorris in his place knocked him out of a consistent role. He finished with 2.8 points and 2.4 rebounds per game across 25 games.

Hunger was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2021 and committed to Northwestern over offers from Boston College, Miami, Ole Miss and 16 other programs.

With his departure, all three members of Northwestern's center rotation in the 2024-25 season -- Nicholson, Hunger and Fitzmorris -- have graduated or transferred out of the program.

Destination: George Washington

Years remaining: Three

Barkley announced his intention to transfer with a March 17 post featuring his practice film, then made it official with the opening of the portal's contact period on March 24.

The West Virginia native redshirted his first year on campus and made his debut this season, when he appeared in just four games, recording four points and four rebounds. His decision to leave the program in search of more playing time didn't come as a surprise to many observers.

Barkley was a three-star prospect in Northwestern's Class of 2022. He had 18 other offers, including Akron, Drake and NIU.

Destination: ETSU

Northwestern has contacted George Mason center Giovanni Emejuru as their pursuit of a center to round out their transfer class continues. Emejuru is a massive 6-foot-11 and 265 pounds, and averaged 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game.

He has bounced around a bit in his college career, starting out with a two-year stint at Sam Houston State, heading to Siena in 2023, then George Mason last season, and now the transfer portal again.

Brennan entered his name into the portal as a grad transfer after a junior season averaging 10.4 points and 9.2 rebounds for Grand Canyon. The Antelopes finished 26-8 and earned the 13th-seed in the West Region of the NCAA Tournament.

Brennan had 14 points and eight rebounds in a win over Stanford, and 10 points and eight rebounds in a narrow loss to Georgia in Grand Canyon's two Power Five matchups before the postseason.

Brennan committed to Villanova on April 17.

Brown is a rising junior at Penn who entered his name into the portal after averaging 13.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this year with the Quakers. He shot an impressive 38.7% from distance over his two seasons but with Northwestern already taking two guard from the portal with Reid and Green, it is highly unlikely they will use their last spot on a third backcourt player.

Valparaiso center Cooper Schwieger was one of Northwestern's early targets out of the portal after averaging 15.8 points and 7.8 rebounds as a sophomore.

Schwieger was set to visit the Wildcats on April 11 but announced his commitment to Wake Forest on April 2 after a visit there.

Dynes is a massive 7-foot-3 big man from Youngstown State with two years of eligibility remaining.

A rim protecting center in the mold of Matt Nicholson, Dynes averaged 6.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and finished second in the nation with 3.1 blocks per game this season.

Dynes visited Northwestern on March 31 and April 1, right on the heels of Reid. The program was initially very positive about their chances of landing him, but time passed and Dynes committed to USC on April 13.
