Which former UAlbany player will now be in the Atlantic 10?

The transfer portal is hard to follow in college basketball these days, especially on the local scene. Former UAlbany star and America East Freshman of the Year Jonathan Beagle is heading to Richmond to compete in the Atlantic 10 Conference. On paper, it seems like a great move for him and his career. The climate in Virginia is much warmer than here in New York State, and a fresh start is always good for everyone. It's unfortunate how things ended between Beagle head coach Dwayne Killings and the University at Albany program. Below is my brief opinion on it, as seen in the Times Union:

Jonathan Beagle is making a good choice in Richmond to further his college basketball career. The Hudson Falls graduate, who spent less than two years at UAlbany, will get a chance to play in the Atlantic-10, and the Spiders were 23-10 last year. Beagle is a very experienced striker, standing at 1.80 m tall, who can play at the highest level. A change of scenery could be just what Beagle needs to restart his career.

I wish Jonathan Beagle all the best because we had a great relationship. He's an extremely talented big man who just needs to improve his overall confidence and he'll be completely fine. His footwork is excellent and his defense has also improved a lot. I think this step is best for everyone involved. Now the next chapter begins for Jonathan Beagle and we'll see how he fares with the Spiders in the 2024-25 college basketball season.
