Primarily a collection of news links about all 11 Horizon League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
Boston
Stanton III was one of the few healthy players left after injuries and
transfers decimated IUPUI’s roster last season. As a true freshman,
Stanton started 19 of 28 games and logged heavy minutes in the final
stretch of the season. Armed with a full roster of players, the 6-5
guard can move off the ball, and showcase his shooting and scoring
ability. — Akeem Glaspie, IndyStar
Purdue Fort Wayne
Deonte
Billups won the Horizon League Sixth Man of the Year award last season,
and was fourth in the conference with 2.1 3-pointers per game. He
averaged 9 points per game, providing a frequent spark off the bench. He
started 18 games last season, and could see that number increase. — Matthew VanTryon, IndyStar
Freshman
guard Amhad Jarrard is a name to remember for the future and freshman
DJ Jackson comes from national powerhouse Montverde (Fla.) Academy, but
San Diego transfer Bryce Monroe should be IUPUI’s top newcomer. Monroe
was the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year at Sam Houston State,
averaging 10 points per game before transferring to San Diego. Monroe, a
5-11 junior has great quickness, is a career 34% shooter from 3, and
has the experience to run a team from the point guard position. — Akeem Glaspie, IndyStar
Purdue Fort Wayne
Deangelo
Elisee is a 6-9 junior college transfer from Triton College, where he
averaged 9.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 blocks last season. He shot 67%
from the floor and had a 27-point game with eight rebounds and six
blocks. — Matthew VanTryon, IndyStar
Of
course one of the most prolific scorers in college history is going to
make our list in his final season. Through 111 games, Davis is at 24.6
points, 13th-highest average in men's D-I history. He's scored 2,734
points, which sits 22nd all time -- but he'll quickly hop up that list
as the season moves along. If Davis is going to make history in his
bonus season (which all players can get because of COVID), he'll need to
average a career-best 27.5 points and play 34 games in order to surpass
Pete Maravich's record of 3,667. Maravich did it in three seasons and
without a 3-point line. -- MN
