When looking at the Atlantic 10 Conference for next season, there’s a clear group of teams projected to be at the top. Duquesne guard Tarence Guinyard, a First Team All-A10 selection, is withdrawing his name from the transfer portal and returning to Duquesne for the 2026-27 season, source told @On3. With Guinyard on board, he’ll be the lead guard again for the Dukes, potentially starting alongside Virginia Tech transfer Izaiah Pasha. The return of Guinyard gives Duquesne a high floor, with one of the top-five players in the A-10.
