St. Louis University landed two players this week who became available late in the transfer process, allowing coach Josh Schertz to complete the roster.
Center Kilian Brockhoff will transfer from UC Santa Barbara with three years of eligibility remaining, and 6-5 Dylan Warlick chose the Billikens after asking to be released from his letter of intent at Wyoming.
Brockhoff signed with SLU this week and Warlick announced his commitment on X on Wednesday night.
At 6-10, Brockhoff could provide some minutes off the bench behind Robbie Avila after playing one year for the Gauchos. The native of Cuxhaven, Germany, played in 19 games, averaging 2.5 points and 1.6 rebounds. He has the 3-point shooting potential Schertz was seeking in a big, having made 11 of 29 3s.
鈥淲e are pleased to add a person and player like Kilian to our roster,鈥 Schertz said in a statement. 鈥淗e fits us systematically with his combination of size, skill and the ability to think the game. Kilian also has the values we look for in terms of how he approaches his work, the kind of teammate he is and the way he competes to win.鈥
