Taj DeGourville, a key reserve for San Diego State over the past two seasons, has entered the transfer portal and is looking for a new school to play for. The 6'5 guard averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 19.2 minutes per game for the Aztecs, shooting a career-high 34.5% from three-point range last season.

Why it matters

As a former 4-star recruit, DeGourville has untapped potential and could be a valuable addition for a team in need of backcourt depth and perimeter defense.

The details

With his combination of size, passing ability, and defensive skills, DeGourville has drawn interest from several schools, including Oregon, UNLV, Oklahoma, Saint Mary's, and Virginia.
