Looking for a hidden gem in the transfer portal? Keep an eye on Tennessee Rainwater. The 6-foot-6 wing officially entered the portal this week, bringing with him one of the best names in college basketball and a seriously efficient shooting stroke.
Coming off a strong season at Le Moyne, Rainwater averaged 9.8 points per game while draining an impressive 50% of his three-point attempts. He also contributed 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and nearly a steal per game, showing steady improvement across his three collegiate seasons.
His proven shooting touch makes him an intriguing prospect for programs seeking floor spacing. The big question is how his production in the NEC translates to a higher level of competition. However, his consistent year-over-year growth suggests there's more upside to unlock.
An interesting potential fit lies just minutes from his current campus. Le Moyne is located in Syracuse, New York, leading to natural speculation: could the Syracuse Orange and new head coach Gerry McNamara be interested in a local shooter who just experienced a Central New York winter?
If not the ACC, a return out west could be in the cards. The Washington native might draw looks from schools like Washington or Washington State. And let's be honest, the marketing possibilities if he landed with the Tennessee Volunteers are almost too perfect.
Wherever he lands, Tennessee Rainwater has the tools to be a productive piece. For a team in need of shooting, he's a transfer portal sleeper worth watching.
