Duke, Florida and North Carolina were also involved in those from Toronto.

The Red Storm has already transferred Bryce Hopkins (Providence) and Joson Sanon (Arizona) – each considered a top 25 transfer – this offseason, which is attempting to build a historic second season of the Pitino era.

Johnny won his first Big East regular season title in 40 years and his first conference tournament championship since 2000.

They also won their first NCAA Tournament victory since the same season.

The magical campaign ended with the second defeat of John Calipari and Arkansas.
