Former UNC basketball target Boogie Ellis is back on the market, announcing on Wednesday evening that he’s leaving the Memphis Tigers and entering the NCAA transfer portal.
Memphis Tigers sophomore guard Boogie Ellis entered the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday, joining the more than 1,000 Division I college basketball players to do so this spring.
Ellis, who scored a game-high 23 points to go along with five assists and four rebounds in the Tigers’ 77-64 NIT Championship victory over Mississippi State on Sunday, initially committed to Duke in November of 2019, picking the Blue Devils over Memphis, North Carolina, San Diego State and Southern Cal.
