Former Duquesne senior guard Tre Dinkins has committed to join the men’s basketball program, according to a Monday Instagram announcement.
The 6-foot-2 guard from Chester, Pennsylvania, marks GW’s first commitment of the 2025 offseason as they look to adjust their roster after a 21-13 year, which brought the team their most wins since 2016. Dinkins averaged 12.9 points per game for Duquesne during the 2024-25 campaign, where he scored in double figures in 25 out of 32 games.
His shooting prowess will likely be a significant asset for GW, as he connected on 37.9 percent of his 3-point attempts and shot 40.9 percent from the field overall last season. This past year the Revs finished 12th in the Atlantic 10 in 3-point percentage at 31.7 percent.
Dinkins marks the first intra-A-10 transfer to GW under Head Coach Chris Caputo’s helm of the program, which began in 2022. Former men’s basketball guard Maximus Edwards transferred last spring from GW to the then-reigning-champions Duquesne, where he averaged 8.3 ppg this season.
GW finished seventh in A-10 standings last season with a 9-9 conference record. By comparison, Duquesne, who had won the A-10 Championship the year prior, finished ninth with an 8-10 record. In the lone matchup between the two teams in January, the Dukes won 73-65, with Edwards scoring 22 points.
Dinkins will look to replace the two GW guards who are leaving the team ahead of next season, including graduate student Gerald Drumgoole, who was second on the team in scoring with 11 ppg. Drumgoole finished out his college basketball eligibility this season, after playing four years at other schools before transferring to GW last spring.
Sophomore Jacoi Hutchinson, who contributed 6.5 ppg this season, also announced his commitment to join Longwood University through the transfer portal on Monday.
Dinkins brings significant college basketball experience to GW. His journey through the collegiate ranks has been unconventional, starting at junior college Harcum College for two seasons before moving to Canisius University for two years. He then entered the transfer portal in 2024 and spent this season in Pittsburgh at Duquesne.
At Canisius, Dinkins developed into a high-volume scorer, averaging 15.4 ppg while playing more than 35 minutes per contest during the 2023-24 season. He attempted more than seven 3-pointers per game, making 85 of his 233 attempts, good for 37 percent.
Dinkins will be able to suit up for the Revs next season for his sixth year of collegiate basketball, thanks to an NCAA ruling in December that grants student-athletes who competed at junior colleges for at least one year the opportunity to play in the 2025-26 season. He will join a team that has retained a significant portion of its roster core. Seven players, including points and rebounds leader, redshirt junior Rafael Castro, announced their intentions to return to GW last week.
With several scholarship spots left to fill, men’s basketball has reportedly been welcoming several potential transfers to visit. 247Sports’ Dushawn London posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Monday that former Northwestern University redshirt sophomore forward Luke Hunger will visit GW this week.
