After a successful freshman year in WSU basketball, Skyelar Potter has begun the transferring process.
Potter was a 2018 Kentucky All-Star player his senior year at Warren Central High School in his hometown Bowling Green, Ky.
He then joined WSU’s basketball team and made headlines his freshman year, surprising both the coaching staff and opposing teams with his athleticism.
According to wsuraiders.com, Assistant Head Coach Clint Sargent was very impressed by Potter at that time.
“At the guard spot, he (Potter) is probably the best athlete I’ve had the opportunity to either play with or coach,” said Sargent.
Now, Potter has entered the transfer portal to begin the process of transferring out of WSU.
The transfer portal is an online interface that helps compliance officers and student-athletes effectively and seamlessly transfer from one school to another.
So far, Potter has not accepted any positions at other schools but has received an offer from Northern Kentucky University (NKU).
Despite leaving WSU, Potter has received tremendous support on Twitter regarding his “next chapter” from family, friends and fellow players.
Potter took to Twitter to announce his transferring and express his gratitude for everything that Wright State did for him.
“First off, I would like to thank Wright State for the opportunity to play for them and grow as a player and a person,” said Potter. “Thank you to the coaching staff, fans, and my teammates for a great year and a half. I will never forget the things you guys have done for me. With that being said, I am entering the transfer portal and looking for a new home!”
Potter received many messages and replies in response to his tweet in support of his decision.
Potter’s teammate, freshman Tanner Holden, sent his best regards to Potter over Twitter saying, “Good luck brotha much love!”
Many more have done the same, wishing him good luck on his next journey.
Although Potter is sure of the transfer out of WSU, he has not yet shared where he is planning to begin his next chapter.
