The number of names in the transfer portal is growing each day and the Arizona Wildcats, armed with several roster spots, are expected to be aggressive.

Their latest target is Virginia Tech transfer Landers Nolley II, according to Jake Weingarten of StockRisers.com. The 6-foot-7 redshirt freshman averaged 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in his first season with the Hokies, an ACC All-Freshman Honorable Mention.

Nolley shot 37 percent from the field and 32 percent from 3, those numbers dropping to 34 percent and 25 percent, respectively, in ACC play.

Nolley posted eight 20-point games and one 30-point game. The Fairburn, Georgia native was a four-star recruit coming out of high school, ranked No. 67 in the 2018 class.

He would likely have to sit out a season before having three years of eligibility, though maybe only two seasons of eligibility since he redshirted in 2018-19 for academic reasons.
