Julien Soumaoro

ANALYSIS
Soumaoro will have transferred to East Carolina from Gardner-Webb. While enrolled there as a junior student, he averaged 12.7 points and 2.0 three-pointers made across his 31 games (29 started). According to Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com, Soumaoro "will undoubtedly be an option to play the point" for East Carolina's 2024-25 team. ECU recently lost fellow guards Kalib LaCount, Bobby Pettiford and Jaden Walker to the transfer portal. Currently, Soumaoro and Hayes are East Carolina's only players shorter than 6-foot-3 and experienced at the collegiate level.
