The college basketball season seems to have no end, even after the Florida Gators captured the NCAA Tournament title. Thanks to the transfer portal, the action has stretched through April with nonstop headlines.
Friday brought more of the same, as news broke that a player in the portal had chosen his next destination.
It marks his third school in as many seasons. After spending two years in the Big Ten — each with a different program — Gavin Griffiths is moving on.
This time, he’ll join the American Athletic Conference, landing with a team eager to return to the NCAA Tournament after several seasons away.
Travis Branham of 247Sports reported that Griffiths has committed to Temple.

The 6-foot-7 guard originally enrolled at Rutgers. During the 2023-24 season, he made three starts and played in 32 games with the Scarlet Knights, scoring 5.8 points per game.
