Apr. 20—The Dayton Flyers picked up their fifth transfer addition in a five-day stretch with the commitment of Grant Randall, a 6-foot-9 sophomore forward from Quinnipiac, on Monday, April 20.
Joe Tipton, of On3.com, broke the news of Randall's commitment.
Randall averaged 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds in 31.6 minutes per game as a sophomore. He appeared in 32 games and started 31. He shot 32.3% (40 of 124) from 3-point range.
In February, Randall made a go-ahead 3-pointer with three seconds remaining to lift Quinnipiac to a 56-55 victory over Niagara.
In the final game of the season, Randall scored a season-high 28 points against Marist in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament. He made 5 of 5 3-pointers.
As a freshman, Randall averaged 1.9 points in 9.9 minutes per game, in 32 appearances.
Randall is a native of Queens, N.Y., but played high school basketball at the Mount Pisgah Christian School in Georgia. He then played for two programs during a post-graduate year: the Mont Sports Academy in Florida and the Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut.
Randall was the seventh-ranked player in Connecticut in the 2024 class, according to the New England Recruit Report.
Grant is an athletic, multi-positional wing who can affect the game in many different ways," Quinnipiac coach Tom Pecora said when he signed. "He defends, rebounds, blocks shots, and is another guy who can really shoot the ball.
Randall visited Dayton on Sunday. He also had visits scheduled with Cincinnati and George Mason, according to recruiting analyst Sam Kayser.
Dayton's flurry of transfer additions started Thursday when Ole Miss guard Travis Perry and Cincinnati forward Jalen Haynes committed to Dayton within two hours of each other.
Then on Saturday night, Murray State transfer Tristian Ford, a 6-3 guard, announced his commitment to Dayton, hours before Marquette transfer Zaide Lowery, a 6-foot-5 junior guard with one season of eligibility remaining, picked the Flyers.
With the five additions, Dayton has 13 scholarship players on the 2026-27 roster. The roster limit is 15.
The three walk-ons expected to be on the 2026-27 roster do not count against the roster limit because they were members of the team before the roster limit rule changed. Dayton could add as many as three more scholarship players.
Juniors: forward Amaël L'Etang; guard Travis Perry; and forward Grant Randall.
Redshirt freshman: guard Jaron McKie; and guard Tristian Ford.
Freshmen: guard Julian Washington; guard Aidan Derkack; and center Cody Peck.
