For a variety of reasons, [autotag]Elijah Morgan[/autotag] never found his footing at Notre Dame. By the end of his junior season, he wasn’t even around the team. With little hope for his future in South Bend, he announced in April that he was entering the transfer portal. Now, he knows where he’s going to play, and he announced such:
I am beyond blessed to announce that I have committed to the Citadel and @CitadelHoops! I greatly appreciate everyone that has helped me get to this point. It takes a village. Letâs get to work! pic.twitter.com/Ei5cZvnvuO

Morgan will try to deliver a boost to a Bulldogs program that desperately needs one. The Citadel never has qualified for the NCAA Tournament, and 11 of its past 12 seasons have been losing ones. In fact, the Bulldogs went 0-18 in Southern Conference play during the 2019-20 season.
The Irish have won both games between the programs. First was a 72-53 triumph in 1997, followed by a 74-50 victory in 2006. While the Irish obviously have a better record and a brighter future, Morgan pretty much had nothing to do with it. Sometimes, you have to do what’s best for you, and that’s exactly Morgan did.
We wish Morgan well with the rest of his collegiate career.
