LOGAN – For just the second time since 2018, Utah State will retain its head basketball coach in both men’s and women’s basketball. The Aggies have had quite the trouble in keeping coaches around in either program. But with the coaching continuity will come the question of player continuity. The transfer portal hits all programs and the next few weeks will be a crucial time for both Jerrod Calhoun and Wes Brooks to formulate their rosters for the 2025-26 seasons. The transfer portal is open and will remain open until April 22. This tracker will update whenever someone transfers in for either the men’s or women’s team or someone enters the portal.

LOGAN — According to reports from CBS and The Field of 68, Utah State men’s basketball head coach Jerrod Calhoun will remain with the Aggies and will sign a new contract that will make Calhoun the second-highest paid coach in the Mountain West. The new deal with USU comes after Calhoun reportedly interviewed with West Virginia for its coaching vacancy and being the reported front-runner for the job. This past season, Calhoun led the Aggies to a 26-8 record, a third-place finish in the Mountain West (after being predicted sixth in the preseason poll) and to their third straight 26-win season and a third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. That wound up making Calhoun a possible target for high-major schools with bigger budgets, namely West Virginia, a program with which Calhoun has significant ties. He spent six years with West Virginia as an assistant coach under its long-time head coach Bob Huggins. The Mountaineers made runs to the Sweet 16 and Final Four while Calhoun was an assistant and this year he has repeatedly referenced those successes as valuable experiences that have helped him as a head coach with Utah State. Online rumors raged late last week and into

LEXINGTON, KY — History repeated itself on Thursday night in Utah State’s 72-47 loss to UCLA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Back in 2001, the Aggies lost by 25 points, 75-50, in the second round of the Big Dance in what was the second-worst offensive performance in an NCAA Tournament game in program history (lowest is 39 points in 1939). On Thursday, Utah State lost by 25 points yet again and set a new low for tournament game points in the modern era. The opening minutes seemed to promise the energetic and highly effective USU team that was featured for much of the 26-win season. But the energy just simply didn’t last and an offense that ranked 17th in the country according to KenPom adjusted efficiency couldn’t get off the ground. Utah State made just 4 of 31 threes (12.9 percent), which is the third-worst 3-point shooting performance in team history (minimum 20 attempts), and that awful night seemed to doom the team more than most other issues that cropped up. “(UCLA) did a good job of pressuring us,” USU guard Mason Falslev said. “It’s hard to make threes when you’re rushed and they just didn’t fall, unfortunately,
