Analyst names 3 SEC teams as possible destinations for Memphis transfer PJ Haggerty
PJ Haggerty entered the transfer portal after one season at Memphis, reports confirmed on Friday. While there is some uncertainty on where Haggerty will play next season, analyst Andy Patton has listed three potential destinations in the Southeastern Conference for the All-American guard.
"I was trying to think about that," Patton said on the "Locked On College Basketball" podcast on Friday (7:00). "I mean, I think you got to start Kentucky. They're still looking for a guard. We know that. They don't know the status on Otega Oweh away and whether he's going to come back, but they do land Jaland Lowe from Pitt. So if Oweh comes back, I'm not sure they're as much in the mood."
"We know Haggerty is from Texas, so maybe Texas? How deep are Sean Miller's pockets, you know, as first time coach for the Longhorns. (Texas) A&M, you know, they're still, they don't really have a roster at this point. But if they can get some money, maybe they can throw some of it out there."
Patton also listed Baylor, Kansas, Duke and even St. John's as potential landing spots for Haggerty next season.
Haggerty began his collegiate career at TCU in 2022. He played one season with the Horned Frogs before transferring to Tulsa in 2023.
In 2024, Haggerty transferred to Memphis. According to reports, Haggerty is demanding $4 million in NIL from his next team after entering the transfer portal.
