Dak Leaves Colorado for Vanderbilt

About this episode

Colorado Mens Basketball Loses Key Player: Bangot Dak Transfers to Vanderbilt

Colorado mens basketball suffers a blow as forward Bangot Dak, a seven-foot junior, transfers to Vanderbilt after three seasons with the Buffs. Dak, a three-star recruit, played in thirty starts this season, averaging 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. Despite his contributions, his rebound numbers were a point of contention. Vanderbilt, with back-to-back NCAA Tournament runs and former Colorado assistant Rick Ray on staff, secured Daks commitment over offers from Oregon, Miami, and SMU.

On April 19th, Colorado men's basketball just lost two key pieces from their roster. Forward Bengott Dack, a 7-foot junior, committed to Vanderbilt after three seasons with the buffs. This comes right after Sebastian Ransake picked Florida State. Dack locked down a starting spot the last two years, playing in 30 starts this season. He put up 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game in about 26 minutes. For his size, though, those rebound numbers left some wanting more. Fans in Boulder are feeling the hit as the program rebuilds in the portal. Dack was a three-star recruit back in the class of 2023, ranked 58th among PowerFords nationwide. Vanderbilt brings solid appeal with back-to-back NCAA tournament runs under Coach Mark Beignton. Plus, former Colorado assistant Rick Ray, who worked with Dack, now coaches their Nashville. Dack had won your left and picked the Commodores over offers from Oregon, Miami, and SMU.

That wraps the latest on Dack's move, keeps the transfer buzz alive for Colorado Hoops.
