UC Irvine guard Myles Che entered the transfer portal on April 13 after a strong season, averaging 12.1 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.4 rebounds over 28.4 minutes per game. The 6-foot-3 playmaker shot 40.1% from the floor, an impressive 42.9% from beyond the arc, and 84.1% at the free-throw line.
Che’s best performance came March 6 against UC Davis, when he erupted for a career-best 31 points on 10-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-3 from deep. With UC Irvine finishing 26-5 overall and 16-3 in conference play, Che’s impact was undeniable in a standout campaign.
From UC Irvine to What’s Next? Top 5 Fits for Myles Che
UC Irvine guard Myles Che draws interest from programs needing efficient guard play. His combination of perimeter shooting (42.9% from three), playmaking (2.8 assists per game), and scoring (12.1 PPG) make him a high-value target.
1. Gonzaga Bulldogs
Gonzaga’s elite offensive pace and proven track record with guards like Jalen Suggs and Andrew Nembhard align perfectly with Che’s perimeter shooting. Should Ryan Nembhard depart, Che could immediately step into a critical role and contribute to a team with deep NCAA Tournament ambitions.
2. Indiana State Sycamores
The Sycamores’ fast-paced attack (78.1 PPG, second in the Missouri Valley) would benefit from Che’s scoring versatility. With Isaiah Swope gone, Che could slot in as a secondary creator. Indiana State previously showed “HIGH” interest in Che, suggesting mutual familiarity.
3. Creighton Bluejays
Creighton’s motion-heavy offense and recent Sweet 16 appearance make it an ideal destination. With Trey Alexander potentially exiting, Che’s shooting and ball movement fit Greg McDermott’s system well. The Bluejays’ recent success developing transfers makes them a strong candidate.
4. UCLA Bruins
Returning to his home state, Che could add depth to a retooling UCLA backcourt. With Dylan Andrews potentially leaving and the program competing in the Big Ten, Che offers a proven scoring touch and a steady hand under a coaching staff that develops pro-level guards.
5. Arizona Wildcats
Arizona’s uptempo, high-output offense pairs well with Che’s playstyle. With Caleb Love potentially heading to the NBA, Che could fill an immediate backcourt vacancy.
