One NCAA Basketball player that has had his fair share of ups and downs is Ithiel Horton. His career started out at Delaware, where he averaged 13.2 ppg on 41% shooting from three-point range. He entered the transfer portal that offseason and picked Pittsburgh, where he sat out for a year.
As a starter, the 6’3 guard from New Jersey produced 8.9 ppg on 37% shooting from deep, including 20 points from Syracuse. Unfortunately for him, Horton was limited to just 13 games the following year at Pittsburgh, as he was mostly suspended due to an off-the-court arrest.
After the year, Horton opted to enter the transfer portal again, this time picking the UCF Knights. It ended up being the most playing time he’s gotten yet, averaging 31 mpg while starting all 34 games. Horton averaged 12.3 ppg and 3.7 rpg, shooting 35% from deep. He had several different career-high individual performances, including 28 points (7/14 from deep) against South Florida, along with 30 points versus Memphis in overtime.
The Knights are heading over to the Big 12 and have loaded up in the backcourt, landing several guards from the portal. But now, they’re losing one, as Horton is set to play for his fourth NCAA Basketball team in his 6th and final year of eligibility. He’s a quality shooter from deep but with a career field goal percentage of 39%, there are limitations as well.
There are still plenty of programs that could use another shooter in their rotation. Here’s a look at eight programs that could potentially be in the mix.
