well. In the Horizon League, he went on to dominate on the glass. His

Hadnot

hitting 35.8% from beyond the arc and adding 3.5 assists per contest.

Wayne native Bryson Scott in 2017-18.
In addition to his offensive
efforts, Hadnot averaged 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals, the latter total
ranking third in the Horizon League. For his performance, Hadnot was

distinction in the last two seasons.
He was considered the No. 22
shooting guard available in the portal and the 122nd-ranked player
overall by 247 Sports. Houston has been to the Sweet 16 of seven NCAA
Tournaments in a row.
