Transfers/Seniors with Remaining Eligibility

[mc1983]

Dallas Patrick not listed on the Otterbein roster: https://otterbeincardinals.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

A bit of a surprise in the OAC, but they'll still be dangerous with the addition of Clement.

Three potentially impactful transfers I recently learned about. Ivy League Dartmouth big man Nate Ogbu will use his extra year at Dickinson College in the Centennial Conference. This is interesting as although he was a reserve player for Dartmouth he certainly had more of an impact with his time on the court then the much more heralded Ivy league reserve big men transfers at NYU and Hopkins. Also, CUNYAC front runner Baruch College has added Will Fredericks from RPI for his extra year, as well as big man Jack Shannon from D2 Post University.

Plattsburgh is listing Dylan Trombley as a Grad Student, 826 pts 310 rebounds in 3 seasons at SUNY Oneonta.  Last played in 2021-22 was 2nd team all-conference, playing his final season close to home.

As rosters are coming out...

Utica gets their top two scorers back as grad students. Justice Brantley 15.6 pts/7.6 rebs and Thomas Morreale 13.6/5.5.

CWRU netted 7 transfers  5 we GR other two were SO

Case Western Reserve spotlighted...really is mind-blowing to have 5 grad transfers: https://www.d3hoops.com/columns/around-the-nation/2023-24/transfers-finding-a-home-in-uaa

Right now Grad students Mazzeo, Kahl, and Mannigault are the top three scorers for Case.

Very interesting article, slightly misleading headline as graduate transfers are rare in the UAA on average. The six other programs have averaged less than one graduate transfer in the three seasons (combined) since the Covid rule was enacted.

Calvin, Otterbein, Illinois Wesleyan (undergrad fifth year transfer) and many other liberal arts colleges have all had more or as many.

First big transfer news of 2024:

Macalester (D3) transfer Caleb Williams told @ThePortalReport that he has heard from the following programs in the portal:

Arkansas
Washington
UNC Wilmington
Western Kentucky
Iona
UW-Green Bay
UC Davis
Wyoming
Chattanooga
Furman
New Mexico State

Next season is, finally, the final year will a large volume of players will have an extra year of COVID eligibility.  Here is an initial shot of a list of potential impact players who are listed as seniors on the 2024 roster, but could return for a fifth year, or transfer elsewhere. There are a lot of big names - but I'm sure plenty are missing. In addition to Caleb Williams, who already is attracting a lot of D1 interest, I would think D1 programs would have significant interest in Jahn Hines, Christian Parker, Logan Pearson and Joshua Van Gorp, among potentially a few others. I imagine soon after their teams' respective seasons end, we will start to hear about many of these players' intentions. 


In the transfer portal:

Caleb Williams - Macalester
Brody Fox - Wisconsin-Stout
Joshua West - Dominican
Andrew Milot - Knox
Will Little - Bryn Athyn


Reportedly done with college hoops after this year:

John Adams - WPI


Current intentions unknown:

Christian Parker - Mount Union
Jahn Hines - CNU
David Murray - Conn College
Ja'Zere Noel - Rowan
Ben Callahan Gold - Trinity (CT)
Jesse Hafemeister - Catholic
Davidson Hubbard and Adam Brazil - Hampden-Sydney
Uchenna Egezeke - Calvin
Ryan Broeckel - Wisconsin Lutheran
Joshua Van Gorp - Central
Darry Moore - ETBU
Daniel Mbangue - RMC
Tim Restall, Brian Geitner, and Gavin Greene - WNEC
Logan Pearson - Platteville
Ryan Thissen - St. John's
Giovanni Rubino - Muehlenberg
Ousmane Kourouma - RIC
Jack Boyle - UT-Dallas
Will Bartoszek - Harden-Simmons
Zach Sawyer - Anderson
Kyle Bosse - Plymouth State
Mason Barnes - DeSales
Marcus Stubbs, Marcus Beckett, Montell Cooper, and Wyatt Hockenberry - Marymount (VA)

Sparks was honored at their last home game. 

He's been at Oswego for 4 full hoop seasons and 5 years of classes.

[stlawus]

DJ Campbell is also out of eligibility. This is his covid year. 

[nescac1]

Thanks for the updates.  I'll remove those from the list as well as any others I've pegged wrong.  And, I'm sure I'm missing plenty of consequential "seniors" who still have eligibility.  As teams' seasons end we will see a lot more transfer news pop up. 

[Greek Tragedy]

Logan Pearson entered the portal and then came back. Maybe another year of exposure, probable WIAC POTY, and NCAA appearance will help him move up a level. He didn't have any of that last year. However, realizing how special this season is for him and Platteville, he may just decide to run it back with the Pioneers next year.

Just waiting for the not-so-shocking reveal when he lands at Case Western...

"Transfer News. Reporting w/ @ThePortalReport:
Wisconsin-Stout Brody Fox has entered the transfer portal
Averaged 26.6 PPG. D3 No 2 PPG leader
6'6 guard who is entering as a graduate transfer"

[nescac1]

Big news regarding Fox and a blow for the WIAC for sure.  There is a 99 percent chance that Fox ends up at a D1 school, most likely a very high-level D1, on scholarship .... 6'6 elite athletes who can pour it on like Fox has for two years now against the best competition in D3 don't grow on trees.  His brother plays at Minnesota so they might have an inside track, and I bet St. Thomas after a strong track record with D3 players also goes after him, but he's gonna get loads of offers.

In other transfer news, Dominican (D3) G Joshua West has entered the transfer portal, he tells
@ThePortalReport. The 6-3 sophomore averaged 17.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. Also shot 41% from 3PT range on nearly 4 attempts per game.

A lot more transfer news will be coming down the pike I imagine as teams get eliminated from the tourney ...

[nescac1]
