Walker Kessler is transferring from North Carolina to Auburn. The 7-foot-1 center was a McDonald’s All American out of high school and ranked a five-star recruit in 2020. He averaged 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds as a Tar Heels freshman. Kentucky had also reportedly been on Kessler’s short list.
Collin Gillespie announced Monday on social media that he will return for one more season at Villanova. The NCAA offered players an additional year because of the COVID factors last season. The guard was second on the team in scoring with 14 points-per-game and led the team in assists with 4.6-per-game. Gillespie tore his MCL against Creighton on March 3rd and missed the remainder of the season.
