After months of college basketball, the 2022-23 season is officially over. The UConn Huskies took home their fifth title after defeating the San Diego Aztecs in the championship game on Monday. Now, programs are already thinking about the 2023-24 season with their new recruits and transfer additions. One player who could make some noise in the transfer portal is Ace Baldwin from VCU.

Alongside many of his teammates, the point guard entered the NCAA transfer portal after head coach Mike Rhoades left the Rams for a job with the Penn State Nittany Lions.

In 80 total games for VCU, Baldwin averaged 10.4 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds plus 2.3 steals a night. He made 40.8% of his field goals, 34.7% of his 3-pointers, and 77.4% of his free throws.

This past season, he won the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards. The guard was also a member of the First-team All-Atlantic 10 as he led the team to the Big Dance.

Coming off the best season of his career, Baldwin could be an impactful addition to some programs. Because of that, many consider him one of the top players available in the transfer portal for the 2023-24 season.

With that being said, here are the best transfer destinations for VCU’s guard Ace Baldwin.

3. St. John’s Red Storm

One option for Baldwin is the St. John’s Red Storm. Most of the team’s backcourt has entered the transfer portal. Most notably, AJ Storr, Posh Alexander, and Andre Curbelo will be in different uniforms in the 2023-24 season.

Without the trio, St. John’s should prioritize adding more guards via the transfer portal. Baldwin could be its main ball-handler to run the offense. His playmaking and scoring plus his elite defense could be enough to put the Red Storm back into the college basketball talks.

Baldwin could be one of the team’s veterans in this rebuilding process. He could be a leader among the younger guards and should be a starter right away.
