Iowa basketball transfer portal target commits to Baylor
· Yahoo Sports
As Iowa basketball searches the NCAA transfer portal for another dominant guard who can lead the program next season, the Hawkeyes will have to take former Liberty guard Brett Decker Jr. off of that list. The rising junior committed to Baylor on Saturday, per On3's Joe Tipton.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound native of Cecilia, Ky., averaged 16.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game on 49.9% shooting from the field, including a 47.1% clip from 3-point range (second-best percentage nationwide) as a sophomore for the Flames last season.

Along with Iowa, Decker Jr. had also drawn interest from Kentucky, Louisville and Texas Tech before choosing to take his talents to Baylor.
Even with the swing and a miss on Decker Jr., the Hawkeyes will have plenty of alternative options in the portal to potentially bring on board for the 2026-27 season.
