When three players announced a transfer on March 30, 2022, a surprise, perhaps, was three year center Timothy Ighoefe, a starter in 20 games as a junior, and the leading candidate to return at the center position the following season.

A graduate of the NBA Academy program with Georgetown as his only Division I offer, Ighoefe's 7-0, 250 pound physique was tailor-made for the pros but he had trouble in a college offense, often struggling to assert himself in games despite his size. Ighoefe averaged 2.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in 24 games as a junior, with perhaps his best game being his last one--a five point, 13 rebound effort versus Seton Hall in the 2022 Big East Tournament.

Ighoefe transferred to Cal Baptist for the 2022-23 season. He averaged 5.6 points per game, appearing in 19 games and starting in nine of them.
