Alright, basketball fans, grab your popcorn because the PJ Haggerty saga just added a new twist. If you’re wondering what’s up with Haggerty’s next move, you’re in the right spot.
So PG Haggerty, Memphis’s own standout guard, decided to shake things up by entering the transfer portal. This guy isn’t just any player jumping ship—he’s a consensus second-team All-American and the 2025 AAC Player of the Year. In short? Everyone’s looking at him right now. And why not? He’s averaging numbers that have NBA scouts swooning—21.7 points, almost 6 rebounds, and just about 4 assists per game.
Initially a four-star recruit out of Crosby High in Texas, Haggerty’s journey through college basketball has been a bit of a whirlwind. Started at TCU where he barely got to warm up before redshirting, then off to Tulsa where he busted out big time with over 21 points per game. That made him one to watch. He kept up the pace at Memphis, elevating his skill set and showing he’s got what it takes to headline a team.
