NCAA Basketball: Top 10 teams that should target transfer Benjamin Stanley
10. Memphis Tigers
After not landing any incoming freshmen in the current 2020 recruiting class, head coach Penny Hardaway has been busy all offseason landing transfers. Virginia Tech scoring guard Landers Nolley and Evansville star forward Deandre Williams. They’ve barely missed out on the likes of Andrew Nembhard and others, giving them still with a scholarship.
This will be a moot point if five-star big man Moussa Cisse picks the Tigers in the coming days but if not, there’s no reason why Memphis won’t take a look at Stanley. Assuming Williams gets a waiver to play next season, he’ll only be around for a season. Stanley can sit out and take his place at the forward spot unless the Tigers could land a possible five-star player in the 2021 class.
9. Seton Hall Pirates
An under the radar option for Stanley could be the Pirates, who still has a pair of roster spots available after losing several key pieces. One of them was Myles Powell, an All-American and Big East Player of the Year who averaged over 20 ppg. Although the team adding quality point guard grad transfer Bryce Aiken to provide a clear ball-handler, there is still a question as to where the offensive production may come from going forward.
With Myles Cale graduating after next season, 6’6 forward Jared Rhoden will be tasked with doing a ton both in scoring and on the boards in the next two years. Even if he’s only a double-digit contributor in the Big East, Stanley could be a starting frontcourt option for Seton Hall as they move on from the Powell era.
