Seton Hall Pirates

The Pirates are a natural fit with Nkamhoua as a defense-first program. Yet Seton Hall needs an offensive boost after ranking 268th in scoring offense this past season. They also have lost starting forward Tyrese Samuel to the transfer portal this week.

If the former Vols forward wants a different system, Seton Hall may not be the greatest option. However, there wouldn’t be much of a transition process if he were to join them and if Al-Amir Dawes isn’t coming back, it would be the offense’s focal point.

Texas Longhorns

One of the biggest performances from Nkamhoua in a Tennessee uniform came against Texas and Coach Rodney Terry. He’s the official head coach of the program now and will need to add another forward, as they have to replace Timmy Allen and Dylan Disu. The team does have five-star forward Ron Holland joining next season but could use another veteran.

Nkamhoua would be a nice fit for the program when it comes to experience and with multiple key guards set to leave, the offense will be more balanced going forward. Coach Terry will need to add plenty of talent in order to keep them competitive in the Big 12 and this forward is one of the top options at the four-spot available.
