Virginia Basketball Signs Transfer Martin Carrere from VCU

Virginia men's basketball is undergoing a significant roster overhaul under new head coach Ryan Odom, with the latest addition being former VCU forward Martin Carrere, who brings four years of eligibility. Carrere, a native of France, previously showcased his skills on the U18 national team and at the professional level, averaging 6.7 points per game in the EuroBasket tournament while shooting nearly 42% from three-point range. His commitment marks the fourth transfer acquisition for Odom in a span of five days, as he also welcomed guards Dallin Hall, Jacari White, and Sam Lewis to the team. The Cavaliers are actively seeking to fill remaining roster spots, particularly in the frontcourt, following the departure of 11 players after the coaching change. Virginia's efforts in the transfer portal come amid a challenging period for the ACC, which saw limited NCAA Tournament representation last season. The ongoing transfer window remains open, providing more opportunities for roster enhancements ahead of the 2025-26 season.
