Kerr Kriisa has entered the transfer portal.
The third-year UA point guard entered the transfer portal Wednesday morning, he announced on Instagram. Kriisa, a native of Tartu, Estonia, led the Pac-12 in assists will become one of the biggest names in the transfer portal market.
Kriisa was recruited to Arizona by former head coach and current Xavier leader Sean Miller, who led the Musketeers back to the Sweet 16 in his first season, during the pandemic-influenced 2020-21 season that resulted in a self-imposed postseason ban. The 6-foot-3-inch sharpshooter and facilitator played in just eight games for the Wildcats in 2021 due to issues with the NCAA clearing house.
After Miller was fired following the 2021 season and succeeded by longtime Gonzaga assistant coach Tommy Lloyd, Kriisa entered the transfer portal, but was re-recruited by the new regime to stay at the UA.

In the two Pac-12 Tournament runs, Kriisa suffered injuries to his foot and shoulder in back-to-back seasons.
In the two seasons as Arizona's starting point guard, Kriisa tabbed two triple-doubles, becoming the third all-time Wildcat to have multiple triple-doubles, joining Andre Iguodala and Loren Woods; Kriisa was the first UA player to have a triple-double since Iguodala in 2004.The presumable starter at point guard for Arizona is 17-year-old freshman Kylan Boswell, who became more integrated in the Wildcats' rotation in the second half of the season.
