Numerous schools reaching out to Monmouth transfer Ray Salnave

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Within only a few hours after Ray Salnave announced his transfer from Monmouth, numerous schools have already reached out.

As of Tuesday evening, Creighton, Appalachian State, DePaul, Marquette, Northeastern, Hofstra, Iowa State, UNC-Charlotte, Utah State and UC Riverside had reached out to Cardozo coach Ron Naclerio. Creighton assistant Terrence Rencher spoke with Salnave on Tuesday night, and a Rhode Island assistant is due to speak with him Wednesday.

Earlier Tuesday, the 6-foot-3 Salnave announced his plans to transfer on Twitter. He averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 last season.

Naclerio said Salnave will graduate in two weeks. As a grad transfer, he would be immediately eligible next season. There is still a possibility Salnave could return to Monmouth, Naclerio said.

To everyone at Monmouth, Thank you for the great 4 years. It’s been one hell of a ride. But after consideration and numerous talks I’ve decided to enter my name in the transfer portal and leave everything open. Forever a Hawk💙🤍#WhyNot #0Out pic.twitter.com/8YVzLWnTgQ
