Sophomore guard TJ Burch, who ranked second on the team with 12.4 points per game, will also enter the portal, according to Tobias Bass, of The Athletic.
Burch played one season at Wright State after starting his career at Ball State. He won the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year awards and was named to the all-league first team.
Freshman forward Kellen Pickett told the Field of 68 he will return to Wright State for his sophomore season. He averaged 8.5 points per game and made the all-freshman team.
The transfer portal officially opens April 7, though athletes can declare their intention to enter before then.
Cooper, Burch and Pickett helped lead Wright State to a 23-12 season. The Raiders won the Horizon League tournament for the first time since 2022. They lost 82-73 to Virginia in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
