Less than a week after Arizona's season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, two Wildcats — guard Kerr Kriisa and wing Adama Bal — announced they were entering the transfer portal.
Bruce Pascoe The Arizona Wildcats tipped off spring roster transition season Wednesday by losing lightning-rod point guard Kerr Kriisa and once-promising wing Adama Bal.
Had he stayed at Arizona, however, Kriisa would have had to share the backcourt with sophomore-to-be Kylan Boswell, a former five-star high school prospect who is expected to take on a bigger role next season. For the season, Bal averaged 2.5 points while shooting 35.4% from 3-point range over 26 games played.
When Miller was fired in April 2021 after Kriisa's freshman season, Kriisa entered the transfer portal but returned to the Wildcats later that month after Lloyd was hired. While embracing the fact that he was named after legendary former UA point guard Steve Kerr — because his father was a fan of the 1990s-era Chicago Bulls — Kriisa wore his first name on the back of his jersey. Kriisa has said he had no idea Steve Kerr played college basketball at UA until Miller recruited him.
