BYU forward Noah Waterman enters transfer portal
PROVO, Utah (ABC4 Sports) – A key piece of last year’s BYU basketball team has entered the transfer portal.
Noah Waterman, who averaged 9.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game last year for the Cougars, entered the portal before it officially closed Sunday night. Waterman has one more season of eligibility.
Waterman, a 6-foot-11 forward, began his collegiate career at Detroit Mercy and averaged 11.9 points as a freshman. After two seasons with the Titans, Waterman transferred to BYU, where he quickly became a regular in the rotation.

Waterman came to BYU to play for Mark Pope, who left in April for his alma mater, Kentucky. BYU hired Kevin Young as its new head coach. Dallin Hall and Richie Saunders entered the portal, but decided to return to BYU.
