Syracuse basketball transfer portal tracker: Full list of Orange players set to depart ft. Chris Bell

Syracuse had a disappointing 2024-25 college basketball season, finishing 14th in the ACC with a 7-13 record and 14-19 overall. The Orange had a promising start, winning their first three nonconference games.

Adrian Autry and his men hit a brick wall in the next 24 games, going 8-16 with notable losses against Texas Tech, Tennessee, Maryland, Louisville, Clemson, Duke and North Carolina.

As Syracuse heads to a long break in preparation for the 2025-26 season, some players have decided to test their options and placed their names in the transfer portal.

As of Mar. 25, four Syracuse players have splashed through the portal (per VerbalCommits.com). Two of them are incoming seniors, while the rest are incoming third- and second-year players next season.

Here's an early list of Orange players who have enlisted their names in the transfer portal:

Chance Westry

Chance Westry transferred to Syracuse in the 2024-25 season after playing 11 games with Auburn in 2022-23. The 6-foot-6 sophomore guard from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, didn't have the opportunity to fully showcase his talents, riding most of his playing year on the bench.

He played only three games with the Orange and registered an assist, a foul and a turnover in 11 minutes. Westry hopes to find a team that will utilize his capabilities as a player next season.
