Former Purdue Fort Wayne guard Corey Hadnot
II, the leading scorer in the Horizon League this past season, will
play his final season of eligibility for Houston, he told Field of 68.
Hadnot
averaged 20.4 points on 52% shooting for the Mastodons in 2025-26,
hitting 35.8% from beyond the arc and adding 3.5 assists per contest.
His 654 points were third-most in PFW history and and second-most in the
program’s Division I history, trailing only the 746 posted by Fort
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
named first-team all-conference, the third PFW guard to earn that
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.
I can confirm that Northern Kentucky assistant Ryan Peterson will join
John Jakus’ staff at Florida Atlantic. Peterson had spent the past two
years at NKU and had been a graduate assistant at Baylor when Jakus was
an assistant there. Official announcement on this one is coming soon.
Fortunately for Iowa State, two of the five players coming on visits are
perfect options to be the Cyclones’ next star player.
The other is
Ryan Prather Jr., a junior from the Robert Morris Colonials. In his most recent season, he
was Robert Morris’s top player, averaging 15.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.6
assists per game.

He was an elite scorer in the Horizon League, with his best game coming
against the Detroit Mercy Titans, where he put up 29 points. But also had
decent games outside of the conference.
Against the Iowa Hawkeyes on opening night, he had 12 points. Against the
Drake Bulldogs, he had 12 as well.
Prather is a very similar player to Johnson. They both score the ball well,
rebound and assist at a high level, and are overall dynamic scorers. While
it would be great to have both, Iowa State really only needs one of the two
to commit, as they would likely have similar roles.
We are going to lean with Johnson to be the guy that Iowa State needs. While
Prather Jr. has the size advantage by six inches, Johnson excels at scoring
the basketball a bit better, while also doing it in a tougher conference. In
addition, Iowa State already has size, and more so, strictly needs a
score-first player.
26. DeSean Goode, 6-foot-8 sophomore forward, Robert Morris
Goode shined in his sole season at Robert Morris, earning Horizon
League Player of the Year honors with averages of 15.2 points and 8.7
rebounds per contest. He led the league in total rebounds (287),
offensive rebounds (104) and field-goal percentage (.629). After
beginning his college career at IU Indy, Goode will join his third
school in as many years.
