Saint Mary's Guard Mikey Lewis Entering Transfer Portal

0:00On March 26th, St. Mary's sophomore guard, Mikey Lewis, is entering the transfer portal after a breakout season. The six-foot-three score from Oakland, California averaged nearly 14 points per game, earning all conference first-team honors. He shot well from three and the free throw line while helping the gales to a 27-and-six record. Earlier this week, St. Mary saw major coaching changes that likely played a role. One time head coach Randy Bennett left for Arizona State, and associate head coach Mickey McConnell stepped up as the new leader. These shifts opened a special 15-day transfer window for the program. Lewis first made ways as a top high school recruit, once drawing heavy interest from Syracuse. The orange offered him a scholarship back in 2023, though he ended up at St. Mary's as a four-star prospect from prolific prep. In the latest transfer rankings, he's a four-star talent, sitting at number 13 overall and tops among combo guards. That puts him in high demand as teams rebuild for next season.

1:01With the spring portal opening soon, from April 7th to 21st, schools like Syracuse under new coach Jerry McNamara could circle back. His shooting fits their needs, especially as they sort roster retention with players like Nathan George and Kean Anthony, keep an eye on where he lands next.
