The Torrey Pines High School alum averaged 18.6 points per game and was a first team all-Big West selection
UC San Diego flew back from Florida on Sunday after being eliminated in the CBI tournament with the bulk of the roster able to return for the Tritons’ first year of a full-fledged Division I basketball. On Monday, their leading scorer announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. A few hours later, another 1,000-point scorer who started 89 did as well. Bryce Pope, a 6-foot-3 guard from Torrey Pines High School who averaged 18.
Pope admitted he heard from potential suitors during the season and already from 20-plus programs since his decision to enter the portal hit social media Monday morning. “Guys have to do what’s best for them,” Pope said about the NCAA’s relaxed transfer rules and exploding NIL offers, “and our coaches have been understanding of guys wanting to move on and play at a bigger school and perhaps a higher level. That’s just the nature of the business.
