Sun Apr 20 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Memphis Star Guard PJ Haggerty Enters Transfer Portal

**MEMPHIS, TN –** In a surprising move that shakes up the college basketball landscape, Memphis Tigers star guard PJ Haggerty has announced he’s entering the NCAA transfer portal. The AAC Player of the Year and second-team All-American is immediately considered the most sought-after player available.

Haggerty, a 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore, had a stellar season with the Tigers, leading them to a 29-6 record, the AAC regular season title, and the conference tournament championship. He averaged an impressive 21.7 points per game – third nationally – along with 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists. His improved three-point shooting (over 36%) further solidified his all-around dominance.

After a brief stint at TCU and a season at Tulsa, where he averaged 21.2 points per game, Haggerty found a home in Memphis, becoming a cornerstone of the team’s success. However, his departure leaves a significant void for Head Coach Penny Hardaway, as Haggerty is one of five departing starters due to graduation. The Tigers will face a major rebuilding effort next season. Haggerty’s next destination will be highly anticipated across the college basketball world.
