Even though Wright State lost five players in rapid succession to the transfer portal, it appeared to have a key piece returning who figured to be a candidate to lead the team in scoring.
Not anymore.
Jack Doumbia, who was a Raider for just one season, announced Friday he was transferring, leaving the program with few proven players.
He joins stars Brandon Noel and Alex Huibregtse, starter Keaton Norris and subs Drey Carter and Ben Southerland out the door, meaning second-year coach Clint Sargent and his staff will need to feverishly mine the transfer portal to try to replace almost half of their roster.
Sargent sensed the others were exiting, but Doumbia’s departure caught him by surprise.
“I was disappointed in how it was communicated. But these are young men now more than ever making life decisions. Jack had to make that for himself, and I’m going to make the best decisions for the program moving forward,” Sargent said.
