Damian Dunn, Zach Hicks the latest Temple players to enter the NCAA transfer portal

Two more Temple basketball players are entering the NCAA transfer portal.

A source told The Inquirer that sophomore forward Zach Hicks will enter the portal and ESPN reports Damian Dunn will join him. That makes six Temple players in the portal.

Like Khalif Battle, Jamille Reynolds, Hysier Mille, and Nick Jourdain, who have already opted for the transfer portal, Hicks won’t commit to another school without meeting with Temple’s new head coach.

Chris Clark, an assistant who played at St. Joseph’s Prep and Temple, is serving as the Owls’ interim head coach after Aaron McKie stepped down on March 13. Clark has been the Owls’ main recruiter and de facto offensive coordinator for the past four years.

Dunn averaged 15.3 points and was named to the All-American Athletic Conference third team this season.

Dunn surpassed 1,000 career points in a 88-83 loss to Cincinnati on Feb. 22. He improved his shooting numbers each season and developed into the program’s most consistent scoring option.

Dunn shot 41.4% from the floor and made 81.4% of his free throws this season. He scored a career-high 38 points against Vanderbilt on Nov. 15.

Hicks shot 35.6% from three-point range this season. He set Temple’s single-game record for threes made in a game with 10 against Delaware State last season. Hicks is averaging 8.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in his career, and shoots 36.3% from three.

A source told The Inquirer that Hicks has interest from various Power Five schools with bigger NIL collectives than Temple.

West Catholic forward Zion Stanford, Temple’s only incoming freshman, remains committed to the program. Stanford has signed his letter of intent and will decide if he wants to stay once Temple hires a new coach.
