Providence is losing a former top-100 big man as the school announced that Paschal Chukwu will transfer. The 7-foot-2 Chukwu played in 34 games during the 2014-15 season and averaged 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
UMass received a commitment from a volume-shooting transfer guard on Tuesday as Canisius sophomore Zach Lewis pledged to the Minutemen. The transfer was first reported by Adam Finklestein of ESPN.com.
While the 6-foot-3 guard will have to sit out the 2015-16 season due to NCAA transfer restrictions, he will replace some guards who are leaving the year he’s allowed to set foot on the floor for two more years of eligibility.
Lewis led the Golden Griffins in scoring last season at 12.5 points per game and saw his field-goal percentage drop to 33 percent from the field and 31 percent from 3-point range. He was also a third-team All-MAAC selection. With a season of being able to redshirt, Lewis could become a nice rotation member to the UMass backcourt after he further develops and has some more scoring help.
Trey Davis and Jabarie Hinds will both be gone from the Minutemen backcourt by the time Lewis is eligible, so he’ll take one of those spots in the rotation.
USC adds Shaqquan Aaron from Louisville! very excited!
I'm guessing he has to sit out a year since he isn't graduating and provided he doesn't get a hardship. He has a lot of talent though(top 40 recruit in 2014). USC is going to be very good IMO in 2016-2017. And will be vastly improved going into this year. Enfield is accumulating a lot of talent.
