Two days after landing junior college transfer guard DJ Wilkins, Drake has made another splash in the juco market. Two, actually.
Twin brothers Tremell and Anthony Murphy committed to the Bulldogs on Monday. They announced their decision on Twitter.
The Murphy brothers played for Florida Southwestern State College, where they were teammates with Wilkins. Both have two years of eligibility remaining.
Tremell is a 6-foot-6 forward and two-time All-American. He led the Bucs with 16.7 points per game this year, and he added 6.4 boards per game. He shot 50.5 percent and 41.2 percent from 3-point land in conference play, earning 2018 Suncoast Conference player of the year honors.
Oregon, Illinois, Xavier and Rutgers were also interested in Tremell.
Anthony is a 6-5 guard and two-time Suncoast Conference first-team selection. In an injury-shortened sophomore campaign, he averaged 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He shot 40.7 percent and 36.4 percent from long range.
North Texas, Middle Tennessee and Bradley were also interested in Anthony.
The Murphy brothers are originally from Griffith, Indiana, where they starred for Griffith High.
With these three juco additions, new Drake head coach Darian DeVries has helped bolster next year's roster, which was hit hard by graduation and attrition after Niko Medved left for Colorado State.
