WVU transfer guard Sencire Harris commits to Cincinnati

Former West Virginia guard Sencire Harris has committed to Cincinnati out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Harris entered the portal on March 26.

Harris spent his freshman year at Illinois before transferring to West Virginia. This past season, he averaged 5.9 points per game, 4.3 rebounds per game, 1.6 assists per game and shot 39.7% from the floor.

As a member of the Class of 2022, Harris was a four-star recruit out of Akron (Ohio) St. Vincent-St. Mary, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 2 overall prospect in the state, the No. 15 combo guard in the class and the No. 96 overall prospect in the class.

As of Wednesday, March 26, over 1,250 Men’s College Basketball players have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. That number is expected to grow as the 2024-25 college basketball season nears its end.

The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Industry recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).

North Carolina lands former West Virginia guard Johnathan Powell

According to On3’s Joe Tipton, North Carolina has landed Johnathan Powell out of the NCAA transfer portal. Powell previously played for West Virginia but will now take his talents to Chapel Hill. Early in the cycle, UNC head coach Hubert Davis is delivering.

“BREAKING: West Virginia transfer guard Jonathan Powell has committed to North Carolina, he tells @On3sports,” Tipton said via X. “The 6-6 freshman averaged 8.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per game this season. Powell knocked down 64 three-pointers, leading all freshmen in the Big 12 conference.”

The three-pointers are certainly something North Carolina will welcome. Last season saw them rank 193rd in attempts from deep, making just 35.6% of them. Not too bad compared to the rest of college basketball, coming in at No. 87, but an area the Tar Heels would like to improve.

Powell finished out the regular season strong at West Virginia, getting into double-figure scoring in both contests. Ten points on the road against Utah before UCF came to Morgantown in the finale, where Powell dropped 15 points. He was a combined seven of 13 three-point attempts.
