UPDATED: Five URI Rams Have Entered the Transfer Portal

The number of members of the University men’s basketball team who have announced their intention to leave has grown.

Monday was the first day college basketball players could officially enter the NCAA transfer portal, and five Rams filed to leave head coach Archie Miller’s program.

Talented big man Tyson Brown, a junior, announced his decision to enter the transfer portal, as did shooting forward Rory Stewart.

These two added to the three GoLocal previously reported, pushed the number to more than a third of the team.

Earlier on Monday, GoLocal announced that Connor Dubsky, a freshman guard, had entered the portal.

URI describes Dusky as “a pure shooter from the perimeter as well as mid-range; he scored 90 points over a four-game span at the 2022 Southern Jam Fest."

Dubsky competed for ProspectU's AAU program. He chose the Rams over the likes of George Washington, George Mason, Kansas State, Maryland, Rice, and Wichita State.

In his first season at Rhode Island, he averaged 2.1 points a game.

GoLocal reported earlier on Monday that two other Rams have filed to leave Kingston.

Brandon Weston, a redshirt sophomore, is the second Ram to announce their intention to leave on the first day of the transfer portal.

Weston started much of the second part of the season.

He averaged 5.4 points per game.

6’11” Jeremy Foumena, the redshirt freshman from Montreal, also entered the transfer portal.

When Foumena came to URI, he was a celebrated recruit.
