Freshman Diego Hernandez observes Holocaust Remembrance Day at Elon University's Reading of the Names event hosted by Hillel at Elon, Jewish Life and the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life on Tuesday, April 18. “You're remembering what's going on, and being able to do that every year,” Hernandez said. “That's really important, because other than that, we're not going to move forward or we're not going to get better if we're not constantly being reminded.”

Sherry, who stands at 6-foot-11, and Van Komen form a towering duo in the paint that will certainly have an intimidation factor.

Additions from transfer portal provide spark to Elon University men’s basketball

From 2021 to 2023, the amount of NCAA athletes entering the transfer portal increased from 6,749 to 8,767. Since the creation of the transfer portal in 2018, the college sports scene has rapidly changed with teams’ use of transfers dictating their success and failures. Despite losing star guard Max Mackinnon to the transfer portal this past offseason, Elon men’s basketball has a bright season ahead thanks to an impressive cast of four transfer acquisitions. The 2024 signing class includes redshirt sophomore Andrew King, junior Jameel Rideout, sophomore TJ Simpkins and graduate student Matthew Van Komen.
