NCAA Basketball: Ryan Nembhard, El Ellis among top 50 transfer pickups of the week

50. Myles Stute – Vanderbilt to South Carolina

2022-23 season stats: 8.4 ppg and 4.6 rpg

The 6’7 wing started 56 games for the Commodores in the last two years, shooting better from three-point range (36%) than he did from inside the arc (35%). Stute had a number of big performances, including 21 points on 7/10 from deep against Temple, along with 22 points on 7/14 shooting from deep versus Texas A&M. He’s the replacement for GG Jackson as the scoring forward for the Gamecocks and has the chance to lead them in scoring next season.

49. Keyshawn Hall – UNLV to George Mason

2022-23 season stats: 5.4 ppg and 1.6 rpg

The raw numbers don’t say much about the 6’7 freshman wing but Hall played just 10 mpg off the bench. That equates to 20 ppg per 40 minutes had he had a larger role. Hall had 19 points in 26 minutes against Utah State and transfers over to a George Mason squad that had lost all of its wings. Look for Hall to be a sophomore breakout candidate in the A-10 next season.

48. Ben Middlebrooks – Clemson to NC State

2022-23 season stats: 3.1 ppg and 2.7 rpg

The 6’10 forward was a backup in Clemson’s frontcourt, averaging 10 mpg off the bench. Middlebrooks wasn’t much of an offensive threat, scoring a season-high 10 points and seven rebounds against NC State. The Wolfpack must have been impressed in that game, bringing him in to be their backup after losing Dusan Mahorcic to the transfer portal.
