Defty joins ASU, led by Randy Bennett, the longtime head coach at Saint Mary’s.
ASU now has seven incoming players and nine leaving.
Center Massamba Diop, the sixth-ranked player in the portal, is notably transferring from ASU, which opens a path for Defty to start.

The last 4 years at BU have been nothing but life changing. Every win, every loss, I’ve been so appreciative of being a Terrier.
With that being said I will be entering my name into the transfer portal as a graduate student, with one year of eligibility.
Our BU women's basketball offseason track is now LIVE. It will be updated as needed, so follow along.
For now, read about BU's three players in the transfer portal.

And now the second domino has fallen.
BU has lost Chance Gladden and Ben Defty in back-to-back days.
Defty was second in the NCAA in field goal percentage. He made the All-Patriot League second team and All-Defensive team.

Well the first domino has fallen, as freshman point guard Chance Gladden intends to enter the transfer portal.
Last year, BU was one of five D1 schools to not lose a player to the portal. It will not have the same luxury this time around.

Jones spoke on the future of this BU group, which made the PL title game with a rotation that featured no seniors:
"You hope that you get guys back... If this was four years ago, I take my licks and feel like 'okay, we'll be back.' Now, you just don't know."

Boston University 6-4 freshman point guard Chance Gladden intends to enter the transfer portal, his agency Gersh Sports told @Thefieldof68.
The Raleigh, N.C. native was terrific this past season, averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 boards. He had 26 points in a Patriot League semifinal win over top-seeded Navy.
In Patriot League final, BU's inevitable offense collapsed: "We hadn't had a night like this all year."
