PAC-12 Basketball: Top transfer addition for each team for 2022-23 season
Jermaine Couisnard, 6’4 Guard, Oregon Ducks
Jermaine Couisnard looks to make one last impact in the PAC-12 with the Oregon Ducks after spending the past four seasons with the South Carolina Gamecocks. He’s developed into quite the presence on the wing and in the backcourt over the past few seasons in the SEC.
Couisnard finished the 2021-22 season with 12.0 ppg, 3.2 apg, 2.5 rpg, and 1.1 spg in the Gamecocks backcourt. Now, as a graduate transfer, he’ll look to boost the Ducks’ backcourt with what he can do.
He went off for a career-high 33 points this past season back on Feb. 19 to go along with three assists and three steals on 12-of-18 shooting from the field and 5-of-10 shooting from the 3-point line.
When given opportunities, he’s shown he can fill it up on all three levels in a hurry after shooting 39.6 percent from the floor and 32.3 percent from 3-point land. He’ll be looked upon to instill some of his tenacity and scoring ability into the Ducks’ rotation in 2022-23.
With Jacob Young and De’Vion Harmon both out of the picture, Couisnard will need to use his SEC experience to get adjusted to his new squad, and quickly. The Ducks lost eight of the last 12 games to close out last season.
