Raided rosters: Texas Tech, St. John's top rankings of teams with best players who transferred out
You could field a good team comprised solely of the outbound transfers from these schools

If you took the best players who have transferred out of Texas Tech in recent years and are still active in college basketball and put them on the floor together, it would be national title contender led by two potential All-Americans and several others who are key players at their current schools. The horde of exiting talent at Texas Tech in recent years is among the reasons why it's so impressive what first-year Red Raiders' coach Grant McCasland is accomplishing.
McCasland has TTU projected as a No. 6 seed for the NCAA Tournament in CBS Sports Bracketology, despite the fact the Red Raiders have been, well, raided by the transfer portal unlike any other high-major program. You could fill two quality rotations with the talent that has stopped at Texas Tech before transferring elsewhere amid a chaotic few years for the program.
1. Texas Tech
The 2021-22 Red Raiders featuring McCullar, Shannon and a few others from this list finished 27-10 (12-6 Big 12) and reached the Sweet 16 as a No. 3 seed. If they were still together and had Tyson, who is a similarly dynamic wing, they would be national title contenders. Aimaq, Golden and Batcho are all great bigs. Players like Peavy, Burnett and Agbo would provide excellent perimeter depth. Even the deep bench would be full of guys making substantive contributions at their current schools.
