Big East recruiting update (May 31): Incoming transfers highlight quiet week

A light week, but the news of two incoming transfers made a splash on the recruiting trail.

Former Georgetown player Qudus Wahab is back to where his collegiate career started, after leaving the Hoyas to play with the Terrapins. Also, Seton Hall is bringing in graduate transfer K.C. Ndefo, who was a three-time MAAC Defensive Player of the Year under Shaheen Holloway, when he was still coaching the Peacocks. They’ll reunite at Seton Hall.

Here are a list of updates from this past week:

Incoming transfers:

  • Saint Peter’s forward K.C. Ndefo is transferring to Seton Hall. Ndefo averaged 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game last season.
  • Maryland forward Qudus Wahab is transferring back to Georgetown, after a season away from the Hoyas. Wahab averaged 7.7 points and 5.6 rebounds through 32 games last year.

Outgoing transfers:

  • Xavier guard Hercy Miller, who was a midseason addition as a transfer, is now transferring out. He had to sit out per NCAA rules, so he never got to play in a Musketeers’ jersey.

Non-Big East commitments:

  • 2022 guard Kosy Akametu (Los Angeles, Calif./L.A. Premier Prep) has chosen Santa Clara.
  • Three-star 2022 forward Yann Farell (Gabon/West Nottingham) committed to St. Bonaventure, also had offers from UConn, Marquette, St. John’s and Seton Hall.
  • Four-star forward Elijah Fisher (Canada/Crestwood Prep) has committed to Texas Tech and will reclassify from 2023 to 2022 to join the team early.
  • 2022 guard Cam Lawin (Chicago, Ill./Rezin Orr Academy committed to San Diego State, also had a DePaul offer.

New offers:

  • Four-star 2023 forward Alassane Amadou (Quakertown, Pa./Springside Chestnut Hill Academy) received an offer from St. John’s.
  • 2025 forward Cam Ward (Upper Marlboro, Md./Largo) received an offer from Georgetown.
