NCAA Basketball: 10 biggest offseason losers from 2022 transfer portal
10. St. Bonaventure Bonnies
The Bonnies had five double-digit senior starters who each had an extra year of eligibility but four of them opted to transfer away from the program. That’s a huge loss but they were able to land a few solid players. Moses Flowers averaged 14.7 ppg and 6.4 rpg at Hartford last season, while 5’11 guard Kyrell Luc put up 13.0 ppg and 2.4 apg at Holy Cross. And there’s also St. Peter’s guard Darryl Banks, another double-digit scorer.
St. Bonaventure had three other transfers but unless Morgan State transfer center Chad Venning can somewhat replace what A-10 Defensive Player of the Year Osun Osunniyi did inside, it’ll be hard to envision them being a contender in their respective conference.
9. Oregon State Beavers
After going 3-28 (1-19) last season, the Beavers lost their two best guards and overall players on the roster (Jarod Lucas and Dashawn Davis). Their replacements were Georgia starting guard Christian Wright and redshirt freshman Justin Rochelin. That’s a downgrade overall and gives them little hope that they’ll be much better next season.
Oregon State did land a good big man in Dmitry Ryuny from San Francisco so the pair of him and Warith Alatishe will be solid. But the questions on the perimeter leave a lot to be desired with the roster overall.
