Dayton Flyers Offseason Roster and Portal Updates

This is a revolving post throughout the 2024 offseason for players going in and out of the Dayton Flyers basketball program, transfer portal updates, and high school recruiting updates. Continue to check back here to see updates to the roster and transfer portal pertaining to the Dayton Flyers:

Players Leaving the Program:

Zimi Nwokeji (R-Sr)

Zimi was suspended from the team and entered the transfer portal before the Flyers traveled to Salt Lake City for the NCAA Tournament. He has one year of eligibility remaining. This opens up one scholarship for Dayton.

Players Entering the Program:

TBD

Players Being Targeted From The Transfer Portal:

Sam Alexis (Chattanooga)

Alexis has heard from a variety of schools, including Dayton. He is a 6-9 Forward who averaged 10.9 points and 9 rebounds. He has scheduled visits at a few other schools, with Dayton not being on that list as of now. With a possible opening at F/C depending on the decision of DaRon Holmes II, Alexis could be the player to plug in there along with current center, Isaac Jack.

Jonathan Pierre (Memphis)

Pierre is a 6-9 Forward who has heard from a few A10 schools including Dayton and VCU. This will be the third school that Pierre will transfer to in three years (DII NOVA Southeastern and Memphis). He averaged 6 minutes per game for the Tigers in a very limited scoring role. Interesting to note that he was a 40% three-point shooter at NOVA Southeastern. He could be a guy that could thrive in the right system. Dayton notably is shooting more threes and Anthony Grant likes his tall three point shooters.

Ra’Heim Moss (Toledo)

Moss is a 6-4 Guard who is an Ohio native and has heard from a few schools, including Dayton, Ohio State, Cincinnati, and Loyola Chicago. He averaged 15.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game for the Rockets last season. He was First-Team, All-MAC as well. Dayton could use another high scoring guard that can be a slasher to the basket. Moss could be that guy for the Flyers.

High School Recruiting (Class of 2024):

Kameren Wright (Gainesville, FL) – Offered

Wright is a 6’4″ shooting guard from Olympia High School in Gainesville, Florida. He also holds an offer from VCU. Wright is graded as a 3 star recruit. He is ranked #217 in the class of 2024.
