The departure of Jason Asemota and nine other Boston College players reflects the program's need for a fresh start under new leadership.Lynn TodayBoston College men's basketball forward Jason Asemota plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report. Asemota, a former top-40 recruit, played one season for the Eagles after transferring from Baylor. He is one of 10 Boston College players who have entered the transfer portal this offseason.
Why it matters
The high volume of transfers from the Boston College men's basketball team highlights the program's struggles, as the Eagles went just 11-20 overall and 4-14 in ACC play last season. The departures come after the firing of head coach Earl Grant, with UConn assistant Luke Murray taking over as the new head coach.
The details
Asemota played in 21 games off the bench for Boston College this past season, averaging 7.9 minutes, 3.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.1 assists per game. Prior to that, he spent the 2024-25 season at Baylor, where he played in 24 games and averaged 6.2 minutes, 1.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.2 assists per game.
- Asemota entered the transfer portal on April 9, 2026.
- The transfer portal window opened on Tuesday and will stay open until April 21, 2026.
The players

Earl Grant
The former Boston College men's basketball head coach who was fired after the 2022-23 season.
Luke Murray
The new head coach of the Boston College men's basketball team, hired from his assistant role at UConn.
What they’re saying
“Jason brings great length and athleticism to our perimeter. He is very versatile and possesses a lot of intangibles. He can really shoot the ball and also has a burst attacking the rim. His length and wingspan should put him in position to be a lock down defender.”
— Earl Grant, Former Boston College Men's Basketball Head Coach
What’s next
The transfer portal window will remain open until April 21, 2026, allowing Asemota and other Boston College players to finalize their decisions on where to continue their college basketball careers.
The takeaway
The high volume of transfers from the Boston College men's basketball team highlights the program's struggles and the need for a fresh start under new head coach Luke Murray. Asemota's departure is just one of many, as the Eagles look to rebuild and improve after a disappointing 11-20 season.
