It still boggles my mind that Spencer wasn't even in the top 100 on some of the transfer lists last summer.
Cam Spencer, UConn
2023-24 UConn is one of the best teams of the past four decades ... but would it have won a title if Cam Spencer wasn't on the roster? I have my doubts. That's how good/valuable Spencer was. The grad transfer from Rutgers was the perfect infusion to UConn's system and Dan Hurley's culture. He was cocky, competitive, efficient and ever-reliable. Spencer started all 40 games and averaged 14.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and shot 44% from 3. The irony that's been largely forgotten in all of this: UConn expected to bring in Nick Timberlake to transfer, only to see him pick Kansas. That opened a path for Spencer to head to Storrs and make history in the process. Hurley and UConn fans could not have asked for a more ideal plug-and-play grad senior than the spicy Spencer.CBS Sports College Basketball 2023-24 All-Transfer Team: Dalton Knecht headlines hoops' top portal players
