Tracking the Transfer Targets
Christ Essandoko: A Big Man in Demand
The 7-foot, 285-pound French center, formerly of Saint Joseph’s, averaged 3.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in limited minutes at Providence (per team stats). Scouts praise his soft hands and frame, with the South Carolina Gamecocks emerging as a potential fit for his interior presence.
Colby Duggan’s Breakout Draws Crowds
After a First-Team All-CAA campaign (15.7 PPG, 6.2 RPG), the 6-foot-7 forward is scheduling visits. “I’ll be at Richmond and Providence soon,” Duggan said. Butler and Wake Forest Demon Deacons remain in the mix, per sources.
Parker Friedrichsen’s Sharpshooting Appeal
The former four-star guard shot 35.4% from three at Wake Forest (per ESPN RN300), catching the eye of Nebraska and Davidson. His 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio adds to his backcourt value.
Quante Berry’s Perimeter Spark
The Temple guard’s 10.3 PPG and defensive hustle (1.3 SPG) have Memphis and Mississippi State Bulldogs circling. “He’s a two-way threat,” a source noted.
Malachi Smith’s Northeast Homecoming?
The Dayton grad transfer, who dished 3.8 APG (per On3 Industry Rankings), could pivot to St. John’s or Seton Hall Pirates. “His experience fits win-now rosters,” an analyst shared.
