Not sure if that has been reported before, but the Bobcats landed Kyler D’Augustino (6’ 1", 195 lbs per ESPN). Seems like a very nice addition.

Obviously good players can come from anywhere, but IU Indy is pretty bad. They were 319 in NET and 317 in KenPom this past season.

Stowers is more of a slasher/driver than a shooter. He’s a big strong guard, and sounds like a defender/rebounder/pass first player. Coach Steele seems almost as high on him as he was on Kirby; I take that seriously.

Cool site to filter by conference and stats

It’s a nice site, but not complete. For instance, Kent State isn’t listed on there at all and we know they have player in the portal.

=>It was. See list.

Pardon my ignorance but what is “UTRGV”?

17

University of Texas—Rio Grande Valley. Way down in South Texas about an hour north of the border. It’ll be a big change from Edinburg to Kalamazoo.

It used to be called Texas Pan American. Changed the name in the last ten years or so.

Adding onto that, Western’s new coach came from UTRGV so it’s a bit of a plug-and-play.

UTRGV was one of my random mid-major ESPN+ Saturday games when our games started getting switched to Friday nights. I forget the opponent but the gym looked exactly what you would expect from a school known as UTRGV.
