<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/kerr-kriisa/15648">Kerr Kriisa</a> is looking for another college after a one-year stop at West Virginia. After Bob Huggins was let go, the Lithuanian guard transferred to Morgantown from Arizona and played for interim coach Josh Eilert. Kriisa averaged 11 points per game, but his value comes from being a floor-spacer and knockdown shooter. He shot 6.3 three-pointers per game and made 42.4% of his triples. The Cincinnati Bearcats have a solid backcourt and have already added Bradley transfer <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/connor-hickman/12635">Connor Hickman</a>. Still, they make this list because Kriisa visited with Wes Miller and his staff earlier in April. They have a clear plan on offense, and Kriisa would be another valuable three-point shooter. He’s likely looking for a more straightforward path to playing time, though.

The St. John’s Red Storm also secured a visit from <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/kerr-kriisa/15648">Kerr Kriisa.</a> Rick Pitino knows how to utilize veteran guards who can knock down three-pointers. Kriisa would be an exciting piece for the Johnnies as Pitino employs a high-tempo attack and encourages his guards to fire away from three. Kriisa has not played in that part of the country before, and the Big East would also be a new experience.

The most straightforward answer to where <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/kerr-kriisa/15648">Kerr Kriisa</a> would transfer appeared to be Xavier until recent additions crowded the Musketeers’ backcourt. Current head coach Sean Miller successfully brought Kriisa to Arizona while leading the Wildcats, and the pair had success before Miller departed. The path to playing time is complicated after Xavier added Indiana State transfer <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/ryan-conwell/6175">Ryan Conwell</a>.

The Washington Huskies face a total roster reset after firing their head coach and moving on to Utah State’s Danny Sprinkle. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/sahvir-wheeler/14950">Sahvir Wheeler</a>, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/paul-mulcahy/14944">Paul Mulcahy</a>, and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/anthony-holland/14947">Anthony Holland </a>all exhausted eligibility, and two other guards are in the transfer portal. They were expected to have incoming freshman Zoom Diallo, but he decommitted, and the Huskies have a shell of a roster with plenty of playing time available. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/kerr-kriisa/15648">Kerr Kriisa</a> has not played in the Big Ten and has not lived in the Pacific Northwest, so those could be interesting selling points, but the biggest attraction would be playing time and a chance to help lead an offense.

If <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/kerr-kriisa/15648">Kerr Kriisa</a> were interested in playing at a slightly lower level (Atlantic 10) and in a system that would get him many open looks, the Saint Louis Billikens would be a lot of fun for him. New head coach Josh Schertz orchestrated a beautiful offensive attack at Indiana State, and Saint Louis plucked him from Terre Haute to lead the SLU program. There was a lot of speculation that most of the starting lineup would follow him, but it did not work out that way, as some departed for Xavier and Texas. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/robbie-avila/6181">Robbie Avila</a> went with him, and the offense will still be a lot of fun, with ample opportunities for an excellent three-point shooter to bomb away from the perimeter.
