Former Arizona center Dylan Anderson is transferring to Boise State.
The Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year at Gilbert Perry High School, Anderson spent most of his Wildcats career behind closed doors. He played in only 15 games for the Wildcats in 2022-23 and opted to redshirt this season.

Anderson reposted Boise State's announcement of his arrival to X and Instagram, with former UA teammates Oumar Ballo and KJ Lewis among the first to congratulate him.
"Go eat big fella," Ballo posted.
Without Anderson, power forward Keshad Johnson and Ballo, who transferred to Indiana, Arizona reformulated its post situation for next season. The Wildcats are expected to move freshman Motiejus Krivas into the starting center spot, with Oakland transfer Trey Townsend expected to start at power forward.
UA also has Tennessee transfer Tobe Awaka, five-star freshman Carter Bryant, redshirt sophomore Henri Veesaar and four-star freshman Emmanuel Stephen in the post for next season.
How many lives does Kerr Kriisa have? He'll spend his third college stop at Kentucky, where he's again a Wildcat.
In his post to Instagram, Kriisa noted he's a "Wildcat for life," to which former UA teammate Pelle Larsson posted "this is so awesome."
Kriisa committed to Arizona under former coach Sean Miller and played briefly at the end of the 2020-21 season because of an NCAA suspension related to signing a pro contract in Lithuania. He then spent all of the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons as UA's starting point guard before spending last season at West Virginia.
Because Kriisa played during the 2020-21 "COVID" season, he has an extra year of eligibility remaining. The move to Kentucky means he won't face Arizona during the regular season as he would have at West Virginia.
Jackson Francois will make what was an expected transfer from Missouri to Arizona: The walk-on guard is the son of new Arizona AD Desiree Reed-Francois.

A 6-5 guard, Francois played in 12 games over the past two seasons for the Tigers.
In his announcement, Francois thanked Mizzou coach Dennis Gates, staffers and teammates for impacting and helping him throughout his time in Columbia.
"The last two years here have been everything I could have ever asked for and I wouldn't trade them for the world," Francois posted. "It's been my greatest honor to be a Missouri Tiger and I'm proud to say I'll always be one."
Caleb Love's name has been added to the NBA's early entry list, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, after it was mistakenly left off the NBA's official release Tuesday.
Love is testing the NBA Draft with the option of returning to college and has until May 29 to make a decision. He is expected to find out over the next few days if he's invited to the NBA Combine.
