Transfer portal roundup: Xavier, Seton Hall lose scorers
March 24 - Dailyn Swain was one of three Xavier players to enter the transfer portal on Monday.
The portal opened for men's college basketball players the same day that coach Sean Miller left Xavier for the job at Texas. Teammates Trey Green and Cam'Ron Fletcher reportedly joined Swain in the portal.
Swain, a guard, was the Musketeers' third-leading scorer as a sophomore at 11.0 points per game, a sharp uptick from his 4.6 average the year before. Swain started 33 of the 34 games he played in 2024-25 and also added 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and a team-leading 1.6 steals per contest.
Green was limited to nine games before stepping away due to a health issue. He scored 5.0 ppg, while Fletcher averaged 1.3 in 11 appearances.
--Seton Hall is losing leading scorer Isaiah Coleman to the portal.
Coleman became the No. 1 option for the Pirates in 2024-25 and averaged 15.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. The Pirates went a dismal 7-25 (2-18 Big East).
A former four-star recruit, Coleman has career averages of 10.3 points and 3.9 rebounds in 63 games (32 starts).
--Baylor guard Langston Love entered the portal, not long after the Bears lost to Duke in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Love played three seasons at Baylor and averaged 8.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in 74 games (14 starts). He had a career-best 11.0 points per game off the bench in 2023-24, and he started 12 of his 20 games as a junior in 2024-25, averaging 8.9 ppg.
--Quinnipiac forward Amarri Monroe, the MAAC Player of the Year, is in the portal.
Monroe put up 18.1 points, a conference-high 9.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game for the Bobcats this season in 32 games (31 starts). Those were all career highs, along with his 82.6 percent shooting at the foul line and 1.6 assists per game.
--Blake Harper, who won MEAC Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors, will transfer from Howard.
The guard averaged a whopping 19.5 points per game as a freshman to go with 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 32 games, all starts.
--South Dakota State forward Oscar Cluff is in the portal after winning Summit League Newcomer of the Year and being named first-team all-conference.
Cluff transferred to South Dakota State after one season at Washington State. With the Jackrabbits, the Australian put up 17.6 points and a league-leading 12.3 rebounds per game, shooting 63.4 percent from the field.
--CAA Rookie of the Year Izaiah Pasha will look to transfer out of Delaware.
Pasha tallied 11.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game for the Blue Hens this season in 34 games (33 starts).

Chelsea issue telling response after Scholes makes bold Caicedo claim
Chelsea issued a telling response after Paul Scholes' comments about midfielder Moises Caicedo caused a stir on social media. After a mixed first season at Stamford Bridge, Caicedo has grown into his role at Chelsea, featuring in all 38 Premier League games and thriving in Enzo Maresca's side. The Ecuadorian international was deservedly crowned Chelsea's Player of the Year, having helped guide the club back to the Champions League as well as scoring in the final of their Conference League win over Real Betis. But not everyone was convinced with Caicedo's impact for the Blues this season, most notably former Manchester United midfielder Scholes. Speaking on the latest episode of The Overlap with SkyBet, Scholes said: 'I think a lot of people talk about Caicedo. 'He's played 38 games'. Brilliant, what an achievement. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. 'But was there much quality? Did he create a lot? Did he control a lot of games for Chelsea? I don't remember that. 'I think there's an era now, with midfielders especially, where you can go through seasons and games without really contributing.' Many fans on social media were surprised by Scholes' comments, and it appears even Chelsea were keen to issue a rebuttal. Posting on the club's X account, the Blues posted a thread of statistics highlighting that Caicedo had made the most appearances (38) and won the most tackles (114) of any Chelsea player in the Premier League last season. — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 3, 2025 Only four players made more tackles than Caicedo in the league last campaign, with Marc Cucurella the next best in a Chelsea shirt with 67. Some fans on social media were less cryptic with their rebutals towards Scholes for his comments. 'This is genuinely one of the worst bits of punditry I've ever seen. And if Paul Scholes has said this he quite simply doesn't watch much football,' one user wrote on X. More Trending Another added: 'You can't watch Chelsea's games, and do even a 30-second stat check, and think Moises Caicedo that was a star for Brighton, and now Chelsea doesn't 'contribute a lot'. The eye test doesn't lie. The stats don't lie. He's wrong'. Even Caicedo's fellow teammates have been vocal with their praise about his consistent levels of performance this season. 'He's a machine. From the start of the season, he has been our best player,' Cole Palmer told Sky Sports last month. 'Wins the ball back all the time. Always 100 per cent everyday. Humble, nice to everyone and everyone loves him.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Swansea City close to third summer signing amid breakthrough for free agent The club are close to finalising their third signing of the summer Ricardo Santos is close to moving to Swansea City on a free transfer (Image: Shutterstock ) Swansea City are poised to make centre-back Ricardo Santos their third signing of the summer. The 29-year-old is currently a free agent after seeing out his deal at League One side Bolton Wanderers, but is now understood to be closing in on a move to the Swans, amid links with Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday. Should a deal be completed, Santos would follow on from the captures of Bobby Wales and Zeidane Inoussa, while Melker Widell is also set to finally link up with the squad this summer following his move from AaB in January. Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your phone His arrival would certainly help to add more depth to Alan Sheehan's centre-back options, which have been substantially depleted following the departures of Hannes Delcroix and Kyle Naughton. There are clearly also huge questions around Harry Darling's future at the club, with the 25-year-old still pondering over an improved contract offer as his current deal runs down. Wrexham and Birmingham City are among those understood to have kept tabs on the situation, but there is still some hope that Darling could yet commit his future to the Swans. Article continues below Sources have stressed that Santos is not arriving as a potential replacement for Darling, and is instead arriving to add extra cover, with Ben Cabango currently the only recognised senior centre-back on the books for next season. There could well be further additions at the heart of defence this summer, with FC Sion's Gora Diouf believed to be one of several options the Swans have cast an eye over. Santos arrives in south Wales having spent five years with Bolton, and made over 200 appearances for the club, 32 of which came last season. Commenting on his departure from the club, he said: "So my time here is up. Crazy! I never thought I'll be writing this. Been a mad five years since I first signed. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. 'We came into League Two and everyone grafted to get us that promotion straight away. "Being named Player of the Year that season, getting into the EFL Team of the Season and also being in the PFA Team of the Year four years in a row… that felt special.' Article continues below The news was clearly a blow to boss Steven Schumacher, who has also had to contend with the departure of Gethin Jones. "Decisions like these are always difficult, particularly with players like Geth and Rico who have given so much to Bolton Wanderers over the years," he told the club website.. "They were central figures in the promotion from League Two and the EFL Trophy success at Wembley and have conducted themselves with great professionalism throughout their time here."
