After a short stay down south, he’s back on the market. Staten Islander and former St. Peter’s HS star Chris Ledlum is once again looking for a new college hoops home.
The 6-foot-6 graduate transfer from Harvard reentered the transfer portal on Thursday after previously committing to the University of Tennessee in April. Less than three months later, he has reopened his recruitment, according to numerous reports.
Ledlum was previously linked to St. John’s and Indiana before signing on to play for Rick Barnes at UT. According to KnoxNews.com, Ledlum did not participate in Tennessee’s practice on Tuesday and was sidelined with an “undisclosed injury”.
This past season, Ledlum led the Crimson in points per game (18.8), rebounds per game (8.5), and steals per game (1.8). He was a unanimous All-Ivy League selection. In 70 career NCAA games, he has averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 steals.
During an impressive two-year varsity run at St. Peter’s, Ledlum posted similarly impressive numbers. He averaged 20.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game as a junior en route to being named the SIHSL South division Player of the Year. He transferred to Northfield Mount Hermon in Gill, Mass. for his senior year, where he was named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year in 2019.
Ledlum was a top-150 recruit coming out of HS and a four-star talent, according to 247 Sports. He could return home to play for Rick Pitino in Queens, or possibly join former Knicks’ coach Mike Woodson at IU.
Time will tell, but for now he remains without a school.
