On Tuesday, April 7, the transfer portal will open, and college basketball will be changing. 

Every team will make necessary movements to prepare itself for a strong 2026-27 campaign next season. That includes the Clemson Tigers, who are looking to make their fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Brad Brownell, which would extend his longest consecutive streak of making it. 

But first, roster building. Brownell lost five seniors due to eligibility, and while he welcomes in three freshmen from recruiting, there’s a lot of work that still needs to be done if Clemson wants to get back to the top of the ACC. 

Unless the Tigers get more pieces for their freshmen class, they will have five roster spots to fill going into the portal opening. That allows for plenty of different positions to be filled as Brownell deems necessary. He will look back on the issues of last season to mend the roster, where he looks to contend for a regular-season ACC title as he has over the last four years. 

The Elite Eight run from three seasons ago is proof that Brownell can win at an elite level. However, he will need some serious pieces if the Tigers are looking to play into the second weekend once again. However, he’s a strong portal class away from potentially having the team to do it. 

Below are all of the updated arrivals and exits from the Clemson men’s basketball team through this portal window. Clemson Tigers on SI will update the tracker as we hear confirmed news of the given move.
