NCAA Basketball: Joe Girard, Hunter Dickinson among week’s top 25 transfer pickups

22. Brycen Long – Houston Christian to Arizona State

2022-23 season stats: 14.8 ppg and 2.3 apg

Long is a 6’2 guard that was second on the team in scoring, while leading them with 42% three-point shooting on over seven attempts a game. He had eight games with at least 20 points, including a career-high 32 against McNeese State on 7/16 shooting from deep. He’s the 6th transfer pickup for the program and second in the backcourt, joining Adam Miller, who might not be eligible to play. If that happens, Long could start next to Frankie Collins next season.

21. Eli Lawrence – Middle Tennessee to Texas A&M

2022-23 season stats: 12.2 ppg and 4.1 rpg

The 4th-year veteran posted career-high numbers and percentages this past season and made the All-CUSA team. Lawrence, a 6’5 guard from Atlanta, Georgia, had three games of 21 points, including one at Western Kentucky. He’s another offensive weapon to boost Texas A&M in case Tyrece Radford doesn’t come back and can play next to star playmaker, Wade Taylor.

20. Josh Uduje – Coastal Carolina to Utah State

2022-23 season stats: 13.3 ppg and 3.9 rpg

The 6’5 guard had a breakout year as a sophomore starter, including seven games of at least 20 points. One was a season-high 33 points on 13/21 shooting versus South Alabama, as well as 22 against Georgia Southern. He’s the 7th transfer in the class for new Utah State HC Danny Sprinkle and one of the higher scorers of the group so Uduje has a chance to be the focal point of the offense.
