The former UC Irvine guard has entered the transfer portal after not playing during the 2025-26 season because of multiple foot injuries. It’s a tough break for both sides, especially considering what Che was expected to bring into the program.
When he arrived in Las Vegas, he wasn’t just another addition. He was proven.
At UC Irvine, Che started all 38 games and averaged 12.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. He shot 42.9 percent from three and earned All-Big West honors. He was consistent, efficient and experienced. The type of guard you expect to plug in right away.
That’s why his absence stood out.
UNLV spent much of the season trying to find rhythm offensively, especially early on, and a player like Che could have helped stabilize things. A reliable shooter. A steady ball handler. Someone who had already done it at a high level.
But instead of contributing, he was working his way back.
Injuries took that opportunity away before it ever really started.
Now, he enters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining, and his situation becomes one of the more interesting ones to watch. There’s not much recent film, but there is a track record. Coaches around the country know what he looked like when he was healthy.
And that version of Che has value.
A guard who can shoot it at nearly 43 percent from deep, who has started every game in a full season, who understands how to play within a system. That translates. Especially in the portal, where experience matters.
The question is simple.
Can he get back to that version of himself?
If the answer is yes, someone is getting a player who can step into a rotation and contribute right away. If not, it becomes more of a long-term bet.
For UNLV, it’s another offseason move as Josh Pastner continues to reshape the roster heading into Year 2. The Rebels are building around returning pieces and trying to create more continuity, something that was hard to find at times last season.
Che just never got the chance to be part of that.
His time at UNLV will be remembered more for what didn’t happen than what did. But that doesn’t change what he’s shown before.
Now, it’s about getting healthy and proving it again.
