The tallest college basketball player in history, Florida big man Olivier Rioux, announced his intentions to enter the college basketball transfer portal on Tuesday following two seasons in Gainesville.

The 7-foot-9, 305-pound native Canadian is among the most intriguing talents to enter the transfer portal this offseason. He's not only the tallest player to ever score a basket at the collegiate level, but he also has at least three seasons of eligibility remaining, giving his next school plenty of time to develop his skill set.

So, why did Rioux decide to leave Florida, and where could he land next in the transfer portal? Team and national insiders weighed in.
