Men’s Basketball: JUCO G Gavin Murphy commits to TCU​

The Horned Frogs add one of the top shooters at the junior college level.

by Russell Hodges



TCU men’s basketball continues to scout talent at the JUCO level, gaining a commitment from State Fair Community College shooting guard Gavin Murphy. Murphy, who started his collegiate career at Ole Miss before playing two seasons at the JUCO level, averaged 10.8 points per game on 50% shooting, 48% shooting from the 3-point line and 87% shooting from the free-throw line during the 2025-26 season. The 6-foot guard spent one year with the Rebels before transferring to Eastern Florida State College and then State Fair College.

That’s 4 JUCO commits/signees for this class. Interesting strategy by Dixon.

Am guessing that they are cheaper.

Liking the early look of next year's team.

Any word on incoming freshmen ?

We needed people who could shoot.

That and the success with X probably plays a factor

I think the portal period ends tomorrow. TCU still has a few open scholarships.

That's what I asked for. That's definitely what we needed.

Assume he can also play defense or Dixon wouldn’t be interested.

If it’s like football that is just portal entry. You exit when/if you find a team.

I feel like this guy is not going to play very much. Seems like he may have been a walkon at Ole Miss but I could be wrong.

Definitely a bench player, but ~50% from 3-pt is hard to ignore.
