Villanova guard TJ Bamba enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Villanova Wildcats combo-guard TJ Bamba has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per On3’s Joe Tipton.

Last season for Villanova, Bamba averaged 10.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He spent the prior three seasons of his collegiate career with the Washington State Cougars.

TJ Bamba played high school basketball at Abraham Lincoln (CO). He did no have a star-rating in the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. However, 247Sports rated him a three-star.

We’ll see if Bamba opts to return to the West Coast, or if he fancied his trip East over the last couple of months.

Former Penn PG Tyler Perkins commits to Villanova
