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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Murphy becomes the latest JUCO prospect to join the Horned Frogs, who\u2019ve already signed guard Trent Lincoln and 7-foot center Ryan Hunt. Xavier Edmonds, who was an All-Big 12 Third Team selection in 2025-26, came from the JUCO ranks as well. TCU is looking to build on a 23-12 record and a second-round trip in the NCAA Tournament during the 2025-26 season. The Horned Frogs have several players to replace including Kayden Edwards, RJ Jones, Ashton Simmons, Jace Posey, Liutauras Lelevicius, Malick Diallo and David Punch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TCU men\u2019s basketball continues to scout talent at the JUCO level, gaining a commitment from State Fair Community&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,35108],"class_list":{"0":"post-257542","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-fort-worth","9":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","10":"tag-fort-worth-news","11":"tag-tcu-basketball"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
