JMU Men’s Basketball Makes Waves in Transfer Portal

As the college sports offseason heats up, the JMU Men’s Basketball team is making big moves in the transfer portal. With key graduations and the departure of head coach Mark Byington, the Dukes are looking to reload for the upcoming season.

One of the biggest returns for the Dukes is rising junior guard Xavier Brown. Brown, a key player for JMU during his sophomore campaign, announced his decision to return to the team. Known for his scoring ability and energetic defense, Brown’s return is a huge boost for the Dukes as they look to compete in the Sun Belt Conference.

In addition to Brown’s return, the Dukes have added several new faces to their roster. Players like Eddie Ricks III from Morehead State, Justin Taylor from Syracuse, and AJ Smith from Southern Indiana bring a mix of talent and experience to the team. With players like Ebenezer Dowuona and Elijah Hutchins-Everett also joining the squad, the Dukes are poised to make a strong impact in the low post.

However, the team has also seen some departures, including standout players like Terrence Edwards and Jaylen Carey. Despite these losses, the Dukes are confident in their ability to compete at a high level in the upcoming season.

With a mix of returning players, talented transfers, and incoming recruits, the JMU Men’s Basketball team is shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with in the Sun Belt Conference. Fans can expect an exciting season ahead as the Dukes look to make their mark on the college basketball landscape.
