Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Promising sophomore Skyelar Potter, who entertained Wright State fans with his acrobatic dunks, has entered the transfer portal and is looking for another program.
The 6-foot-3 guard had 19 points in the season opener against Central State and was averaging 6.4 points and 3.1 rebounds this season. But he was beaten out for a starting spot by freshman Tanner Holden and was held out of two games for disciplinary reasons.
“It was mutual,” coach Scott Nagy said of the departure. “We just felt like we didn’t see things the same way.”
But Nagy added. “There was no yelling or screaming. I miss him. I love that kid. We want what’s best for him, so we’re trying to help him get someplace else.”
Considered the Raiders’ most athletic player, Potter averaged 5.8 points (fifth on the team) and 3.8 rebounds (third) as a freshman in 2018-19.
Wright State has now lost two of three players from last year’s recruiting class. Malachi Smith, a 6-3 guard who made the Horizon League all-freshman team, transferred to Chattanooga in the offseason.
