Arizona guard Kylan Boswell will return home and transfer to Illinois, 247Sports has learned.
A 6-foot-2, 200-pound guard out of Champaign (Ill.) Boswell appeared in 36 games for the Wildcats this season and averaged 9.6 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 steals per game on 37.9 percent shooting from deep this season.
During his high school days, the Illini were a finalist for Boswell prior to him reclassifying up to the Class of 2022 and committing to Arizona.
With his commitment, Boswell will join Tre White in Brad Underwood’s 2024 portal recruiting class.
He is ranked the No. 4 point guard in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings and will have two years of eligibility remaining once he arrives in Champaign
Before the window opens on March 18th and after the window closes on May 1st, players who have earned enough credits to graduate are able to enter the transfer portal at any time, listed as a “Grad Transfer”.
Simultaneously, with any coaching movement – whether a head coach is fired or gets another job – players of that team are also given a 30-day window in which they can enter the portal which is not bound to the March 18th-May 1st window.
When a player has officially entered the portal, other schools are permitted to contact the player and begin the recruiting process.
There is also a new rule this off-season that will have major ramifications on the transfer market.

In recent years, players were given a one-time transfer waiver and if transferring for a second time, a waiver had to be granted to be immediately eligible by the NCAA.
For the transfers this spring, transfers are expected to be immediately eligible for the 2024-25 season according to a recent memo by the NCAA.
