In the chaotic world of college basketball’s transfer portal, where rosters can turn over overnight, the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane recently received a massive dose of good news.
While five key players have entered the portal following a landmark 30-8 season that saw the program reach the NIT finals and finish second in the American Conference, sophomore guard Jaylen Lawal and senior guard/forward Myles Rigsby have announced their intention to return for the 2026-27 campaign.
This duo’s commitment isn’t just a footnote in the offseason — it’s a foundation. In a year defined by turnover, Lawal and Rigsby represent continuity, proven production, and the kind of intangibles that help programs reload instead of rebuild.
