AJ Storr is on the move again.
For the third time in three years, the former Wisconsin basketball standout is back in the transfer portal after his one season at Kansas. ESPN's Jeff Borzello first reported the news.
The former four-star recruit began his college career at St. John's in 2022-23 before transferring to Wisconsin for his sophomore season. After a stellar year with the Badgers, he left the program for Kansas for greater NIL money.
But the on-the-court results didn't continue as his playing time and production significantly dropped this season. Now, he's set to leave Kansas for a new opportunity.
Storr, on the other hand, was fantastic while playing in Madison two seasons ago.
He led the Badgers in scoring with 16.8 points and started all 36 of the Badgers' games in earning second-team All-Big Ten honors. He shot 43.4% from the field, 81.2% at the free-throw line and scored in double figures in 34 of 36 games. And he was spectacular in propelling the Badgers to the Big Ten tournament championship game, including a career-high 30-points in the team's quarterfinal win.
Storr initially declared for the 2024 NBA draft but maintained his college eligibility. He pulled his name out of the draft and signed with coach Bill Self and Kansas, where he was reportedly offered $750,000 in NIL money. Storr was seeking $1 million to transfer, Prep Scouting Chas Wolfe reported last year.
But Storr didn't have the success with Kansas that he had at Wisconsin.
He averaged just 6.1 points and only made four starts in 34 games. His minutes per game decreased from 28.8 at Wisconsin to 15.7 at Kansas and he scored in double figures in only eight games. And as a team, the Jayhawks underachieved. They began the year ranked No. 1 but stumbled to a 21-13 record before being knocked out in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Storr did have one of his best games of the season in the 79-72 March Madness loss to Arkansas last month when he scored 15 points on 4-of-7 shooting and 2-of-3 from three-point range off the bench.
