Duquesne Basketball Hosting Transfers Anderei Savrasov and Letray Darthard On Official Visits This Weekend

Duquesne will be hosting two players this weekend that would appear to fill the roles of needed spots on their 2023-24 roster.

Pittsburgh Sports Now has learned that both Anderei Savrasov and Letray Darthard are in town today making official visits with the Dukes.

Duquesne basketball on Pittsburgh Sports Now is sponsored by The Summit Academy: setting young men on the path to a better future.

Savrasov is a 6’7″, 225-pound forward from St. Petersburg, Russia. Savrasov started his college career with Texas Tech. He was with the Red Raiders program for two seasons, redshirting his first and only averaging 4 minutes per game in the 2019-20 season.

Savrasov then made the decision to transfer to Georgia Southern and has played there the last 3 seasons. This past season, he averaged 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, while shooting 49.8% from the field and 35.9% from 3-point range. During the 2021-22 season, Savrasov averaged 10.7 points, 5.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 49.6% from the field and 31.7% from 3-point range.

It would appear that Savrasov could provide the Dukes a similar role to what R.J. Gunn provided last season.

Utah Valley junior Le'Tre Darthard has entered the transfer portal.

The 6’4” guard averaged 13.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 steals. Darthard shot 43% from the field, and 36% from 3 (5.2 attempts per game).
