Paul Gakmar – 6'8 / Forward / Perth, Australia / Hillsborough Community College / Mercy College
Gakmar, a transfer from Hillsborough Community College and Mercy College, will be a junior in the fall. This past season, the forward from Australia averaged 7.0 points per game and 4.6 rebounds per game at Hillsborough CC. He ranked third on the team in field goal percentage, shooting 50.8% from the field and 36.1% from long range.
"Gakmar is an athletic and skilled forward," said Davis. "He will be an excellent fit with our returning players and with our style of play."
Naim Miller – 6'4 / Guard / Pittsburgh, Pa. / Edinboro Community College / Mt. St. Mary's
Miller joins the 'Cats as a graduate student after spending two seasons at Mt. St. Mary's and the last season as the lead guard for Edinboro Community College. He led the Fighting Scots in scoring and minutes, averaging 16.5 points per game in 37.6 minutes per outing. His 62 three-pointers and 96 free throws made led Edinboro in both categories.
"Miller has played at one of the highest levels of DII college basketball," said Davis. "His experience, skill, and athletic ability should allow him to compete from day one."
Davide Poser – 6'4 / Forward / Veneto, Italy / Bernareggio / Universo Treviso Basket
Poser comes to Durham after most recently playing professional basketball in Italy's Serie B for Bernareggio. Prior to joining Bernareggio, he competed in Italy's top professional league, Serie A for Universo Treviso. He averaged 6.0 points per game and 2.7 rebounds per game in 18.6 minutes per contest for Bernareggio.
"Poser is a very skilled perimeter player. His size and ability to shoot the ball and play efficiently will allow him to compete from day one."
Dior Davis – 6'2 / Guard / New York City, N.Y. / Ellsworth Community College / Springfield Commonwealth Academy
Davis transfers to Durham after playing out his freshman season at Ellsworth CC in Iowa Falls, Iowa where he averaged 14.3 points per game, ranking second on the team in scoring. He led the Panthers in steals and assists per game, averaging 2.8 steals and 3.4 assists per contest. He shot 45.9% from the field and 70.5% from the free throw line in 26.7 minutes per game.
"Davis has played against excellent competition," said Davis. "He is a guard who can play multiple positions and brings a different dynamic to the team."
Ahmad Robinson – 5'10 / Guard / West Orange, N.J. / Western Texas College / Raritan Valley Community College
Robinson will be a junior when he joins the 'Cats in the fall, most recently spending his sophomore campaign at Western Texas College in Snyder, Texas. The guard from New Jersey led the Westerners in scoring, assists, and steals, averaging 17.0 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. He was also third on the team in rebounding, corralling 4.9 per contest.
"Robinson has also played at a high level against high-quality competition," said Davis. "He brings a skill set and athletic ability that should be very effective with our team."
The Wildcats' incoming recruiting class helps build on a roster that made it to the America East semifinals for the first time since 2017. The non-conference schedule and 2023-24 season ticket information will be announced at a later date.
