NCAA Basketball: Ryan Nembhard, El Ellis among top 50 transfer pickups of the week
26. Latrell Wrightsell Jr. – Cal State Fullerton to Alabama
2022-23 season stats: 16.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.4 apg
The 6’3 guard improved his scoring by nearly 10 ppg this past season to lead the Titans in scoring. Wrighsell shot 38% from three-point range and had nine games of at least 20 points, including a career-high 29 points against UC Riverside. He joins an offensive-friendly program at Alabama where Wrighsell should have plenty of chances to score, though his role will depend on the future decisions of Mark Sears and Jahvon Quinerly in the backcourt.
25. Kario Oquendo – Georgia to Oregon
2022-23 season stats: 12.7 ppg and 2.6 rpg
Oquendo averaged 15.2 ppg in the season prior to leading the team but saw both his production and efficiency dip this past year. The 6’4 guard still had some big games, including four games of at least 20 points, with one being a 21-point performance against Kentucky. He goes out west to Oregon, a team in need of players that can create their own offense. Look for Oquendo to be a key part of the rotation and likely a starter.
24. Jack Clark – NC State to Clemson
2022-23 season stats: 9.0 ppg and 6.9 rpg
He’s a 6’8 “guard” but Clark managed to play the four-spot well in his lone season after leaving La Salle, leading the Wolfpack in rebounding. Clark had five games in double-digit rebounding, including 21 points and 10 rebounds against Elon. He’ll likely play the same role at Clemson, replacing Hunter Tyson as the starting power forward.
