CBB Player Updates from Wed-Fri. Aug 25-27
Announcing a transfer destination was Keith Williams (Cincinnati to Western Kentucky), Williams was arguably the most high-profile transfer remaining in the portal, and it feels like WKU brought him in fairly quietly.

Entering the transfer portal was Jackson Harlan (Western Kentucky, 0.7 ppg).
