Oakland transfer Trey Townsend sets visits with multiple big-name schools
Oakland transfer Trey Townsend has set visits with multiple big-name schools throughout the month of April, On3 has learned.
Townsend will be visiting Arizona from April 16-17. He’ll fly immediately to Ohio State after that, staying in Columbus from April 18-19 before heading to Louisville on April 20-21.
Last weekend, Townsend was in Ann Arbor for his visit to Michigan. The Michigan native has also gained interest from Michigan State since he entered the portal as well.
Townsend was a two-time All-Horizon League selection and won the conference’s Player of the Year award in 2024 after leading a first-place finish in the league plus a victory in the conference tournament championship to make it to the NCAA Tournament. He notably helped the Golden Grizzlies take down Kentucky in the first round.
He averaged 17.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists for Oakland this past season. Across four seasons, Townsend has logged 1,813 points and 889 rebounds. One more season in college gives him the chance to become a 2,000-point scorer while also logging 1,000 career rebounds — a feat not every forward gets to compete for.
During the last three games of his Oakland career, he averaged 28.3 points, which included a 38-point performance in the Horizon League championship game, defeating Milwaukee 83-76 in the process. He followed that up with a 17-point performance against UK, and then gave a 30-point effort against NC State, who would go on to appear in this past season’s Final Four.
Ahead of Oakland’s eventual first-round upset against Kentucky, Townsend spoke to what the Oakland program meant to him during his four-year stay there.
“I mean this whole journey of being a part of Oakland has been just such a dream come true,” Townsend said, via On3’s Alex Weber. “Not one moment is more special to me than another. Just being able to wear this uniform, this Oakland University uniform, and represent this university that I’ve been around my whole life that, like you said, both my parents were a part of and played basketball here, it’s been such a special thing for me.”
Whether Townsend decides to commit to either of these three schools remains to be seen, but what is for sure is that one program will be getting one of the most dominating paint presences left in the transfer portal as of this report.
He will have one season of eligibility remaining.
PAGE, ARIZ., – A suspect has been arrested after two people were found shot to death inside a home near the Arizona-Utah border.
What we know:
On July 5 at 11:30 p.m., the Page Police and Fire Communications Center responded to a report that two people had been shot near Elm and El Camino.
Once at the home, officers found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
“The suspect was unknown and not on scene when officers arrived,” police said.
Dig deeper:
Police secured the home and obtained a search warrant. Investigators then began processing the crime scene.
“Evidence collected provided investigators with a person of interest who may have been present when the shootings occurred,” police said. “Investigators located the person of interest and interviewed him but did not initially charge him with any crimes related to the double homicide investigation.”
The next day, the person of interest was arrested and booked into jail. He’s accused of two counts of first-degree murder.
What we don’t know:
No identities were released. Police didn’t release any details on what led up to the shooting.
