July Recruiting Recap: Andrew Owens (2019)
Andrew Owens
6’5 | SF | 2019
Carmel (IN) | Indy Heat 2019 Red
Offers: Saint Francis (IN), Indiana Tech, Marian, Air Force
Where His Recruitment Is At: Things are heating up and Andrew has a trio of NAIA offers along with an Air Force offer. With the third weekend coming up here, things could be close to breaking out again. He’s playing in Fort Wayne this weekend, near the Ohio and Michigan border where a hoard of DII programs call home and that could be the next tier of offers he could see. He’s played well on a good team all summer long and now with his level of offers, it only stands to reason to see some new schools get into the mix. Marian is where his former high school coach is now at so they could be a factor down the road but things seem like they aren’t close to a decision yet.
Scouting Report: Andrew is a talented wing prospect who has put together an improved jumper and is showing great consistency each time on the floor. A high IQ talent, Owens can play the role of a small ball four or a 2/3 wing at the next level. He’s got the ball handling to create a bit and enough offensive ability to really shine. More of a guy that is going to get into the middle of the floor and pull-up or dish to the wing rather than take it all the way to the rim. When he’s really mixing it all up, he’s a solid rebounder and functional low block scorer even against size. A guy you can plug in from Day 1 and rely on and be a consistent four-year player.
