Pryce Sandfort becomes third Iowa player to enter portal

Pryce Sandfort

Iowa sophomore forward Pryce Sandfort became the third Iowa player to put his name into the transfer portal following the firing of head coach Fran McCaffery on Friday.

Sandfort, who averaged 8.8 points in 33 games (two starts) this past season, announced his plans on social media Monday. His brother, senior Payton Sandfort, was tied for the team lead with 16.7 points per game.

“I want to thank coach McCaffery and the staff for being there for me every step of the way and giving me the opportunity to play for my home state,” Pryce Sandfort posted in a statement. “It has been truly special the past two years to wear the black and gold and share the court with my brother.”

The younger Sandfort joins two more sophomores in Owen Freeman and Brock Harding, who have also entered the transfer portal. Freeman also averaged 16.7 points this past season, while Harding also averaged 8.8 points.

Iowa finished 17-16 after a 106-94 setback to Illinois on Thursday in the second round of the Big Ten tournament. McCaffery was ejected after being assessed two technical fouls for arguing with the officials.

Per an Iowa statement Friday, the university was set to begin a national search for a new head coach immediately.
