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.

Arizona Diamondbacks Gameday Thread, #40: 5/11 @ Rangers
Any time we go to Globe Field, memories immediately go back to the 2023 World Series, when we faced the Texas Rangers in this ballpark. It’s interesting to note that neither team has made it back to the postseason since then. Indeed, at least the D-backs have come close: the Rangers failed to post a winning record in 2024 or 2025, missing out on the playoffs by eight and six games respectively. The two sides have similar records right now as well, with Texas’s 19-21 a mere half a game behind Arizona’s 19-20. However, in the mediocre AL West, that’s good enough for the Rangers to be in second, two games back of… the Athletics? Wait, what?
Yeah, the last time before this year the A’s had sole possession of first was June 19, 2021 – y’know, back when they were in a different city, and weren’t embarrassed to name it. But, then, the AL as a whole is strikingly mediocre, with only three teams above .500: the Yankees, Rays and A’s. It’s because just four teams have winning records in interleague play, and none of those are better than 5-4. Right now, the National League is 25 games above .500 in interleague play, at 315-290. Texas are 7-8, taking two of three from the Cubs, Phillies and Pirates, but losing to the Dodgers and getting swept by the Reds (y’know back when they didn’t suck).
Last time the Diamondbacks were here was in August last season, and we took two out of three. We lost the opening game on a walkoff, 7-6, but rebounded to take the next two contests, by margins of 3-2 and 6-4. Andrew Saalfrank got the save in the final game. How long ago that all seems. We’ll see if Michael Soroka can keep the sterling streak of starts going. He was certainly a hard-luck loser last time, allowing just the one run over 6.1 innings. But that was enough in a 1-0 loss. In his last three start, the D-backs have scored a total of two runs, so hopefully he gets a bit more support tonight.
