Ole Miss guard AJ Storr is set to enter the transfer portal. This decision follows a court-granted injunction that allows him to play during the 2026-27 college basketball season. Storr is seeking his fifth program in five years, having previously competed for St. John's, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Ole Miss.
The court order centers on the impact of eligibility limitations on an athlete's career. According to the ruling, the lost opportunity to play in a fifth season prevents students from building their personal brand and gaining necessary exposure. The judge noted that these specific career opportunities are finite and cannot be recovered once a season concludes.
Storr is among a group of athletes who received this relief. For these players, the transfer portal window remains open from August 3 through August 10. This legal development stems from ongoing disputes regarding the NCAA's age-based eligibility model, which sets limits based on age and enrollment milestones.
Legal experts Darren Heitner and Ryan Downton represent the plaintiffs in this case. The outcome of this injunction process continues to affect roster management across the country as more players explore their options for the upcoming season.
