After a historical season for Wright State Men’s Basketball, forward Grant Basile has decided to enter the transfer portal for his remaining NCAA eligibility.
Basile posted to his Twitter account Tuesday afternoon thanking his coaches, teammates and fans and announcing his future plans.
“It’s been an honor to wear the green and gold while earning my degree. I’d like to thank the entire coaching staff for putting faith in an 18-year-old kid from Wisconsin.” Basile said.
Basile, this year’s Horizon League All-Tournament MVP, was a key part in the Raiders winning a Horizon League Championship over rival school Northern Kentucky and will be sorely missed if he takes an opportunity at another school.
The forward showed that he can dominate at the highest level of play, scoring 14 points against Bryant in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament, and dropping 21 against #1 Arizona, one of the best teams in the country.
With Wright State Head Coach Scott Nagy running an offense off of big players in the paint, Basile’s 18.4 points per game made him the player that Wright State would focus on to dominate games.
Basile will enter the transfer portal for the rest of his NCAA eligibility, seeking out opportunities in other NCAA Schools.
