Oswin Erhunmwunse, a former center for the Providence Friars, has committed to play for the Creighton Bluejays after entering the NCAA transfer portal. Erhunmwunse, a Nigeria native, averaged 6.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game in his two seasons with Providence.
Why it matters
Erhunmwunse's transfer is part of a larger shakeup in the Big East, with Providence also seeing a coaching change and Creighton dealing with the retirement of longtime head coach Greg McDermott. The 6'10" forward's move to Creighton could provide a boost to the Bluejays' frontcourt as they look to build on their recent success.
The details
As a member of the Class of 2024, Erhunmwunse was a four-star recruit out of Benin City (Nigeria) Putnam Science Academy (Conn.), ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in the state, the No. 14 center in the class, and the No. 98 overall prospect. He hit the transfer portal as Providence basketball headed into a new era, with head coach Kim English and the program parting ways after the Friars' 15-18 (7-13) season and failure to make the NCAA Tournament.
- Erhunmwunse spent two years with the Friars before electing to enter the transfer portal.
- Providence quickly agreed to terms on a five-year deal with USF head coach Bryan Hodgson to replace the departing Kim English.

The takeaway
Erhunmwunse's move to Creighton is part of a larger shakeup in the Big East, with coaching changes at both Providence and Creighton. The 6'10" forward's addition could provide a boost to the Bluejays' frontcourt as they look to build on their recent success and navigate the transition to a new head coach.
