Dawson Carper, a 6-foot-11 forward who has spent the last three seasons at Missouri State, announced on Twitter that he has entered the transfer portal.
Carper becomes the first Bear of the offseason to enter the portal, which opened on Monday. His career at Missouri State was often injury-plagued while only appearing in three games during his first season with the team and seven this past year.
Carper will have one season of eligibility remaining as a graduate transfer. He's played five years of Division I basketball, having transferred from Hawaii, and it can be assumed he received a medical hardship waiver.
