Jalen Cone is in the transfer portal, and the former four-star recruit reportedly included three B1G schools among his potential destinations.

Cone would be a welcome addition to any of those B1G rosters for a variety of reasons. Nebraska is still looking to build a program under Fred Hoiberg while Indiana and Penn State feature new head coaches in Mike Woodson and Micah Shrewsberry, respectively, in need of building a roster for 2021.
Cone was a four-star point guard for the 2019 recruiting class. He was ranked the No. 9 PG nationally by the 247 Sports Composite and was just outside the top-100 prospects.
In two seasons at Virginia Tech, Cone appeared in 47 games (seven starts) while averaging 8.4 points per game. He is a career 41% shooter from three-point range and averages 2.1 three-point field goals per game.
