Keandre Kindell - 6'0" CG (JUCO) Class of '25 - Verbal to Wichita

[asiseeit]

I've changed my tune and like the signing. Most of what I am seeing about the team has been encouraging. The thing that could dampen things is if the big Croatian isn't able to play.
I think, at minimum, we will have an NIT team with the real possibility of even dancing

Reasonable.

#4’s next assist will be his first.

Actually he is a pretty good player and was a handful as a Freshman last year.

Speaking of Juco, Butler has an interesting player in Emeka Opurum, a 7’ freshman. Have no idea how he will transition to American game because he is skinny and untested, but he is a freak athlete.

Go Shockers - Shockers Sign JUCO National Champion Guard

Wichita State head men's basketball coach Paul Mills announced the signing of Keandre Kindell, a point guard from Barton Community College, to a financial aid agreement Wednesday afternoon.

"Keandre 'Dre' Kindell is a blur," Mills said. "There are very few players in the country who possess his speed and ability to push the ball in the open court like Dre. He also has great feel for the game and knows when to push the pace and when to be organized. He has won a National Championship as a JUCO player and is extremely motivated to continue to win at the highest level in college. What I love most about Dre is that he is committed to getting better. His hunger to improve and contribute to winning are attributes that Shocker fans will appreciate."

Kindell, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, was a key member of Barton's 2024 National Championship team. He came off the bench in all 36 games and averaged 9.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 20.1 minutes per game. He reached double figures 16 times, including a season-long six straight to begin the month of January. Kindell scored a season-high 22 in a 102-80 win over Hutch on Jan. 17. Through the first three games of the season in 2024-25, Kindell has been inserted into the starting lineup and is off to a fast start. He's averaging 19.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals per game on 51.4 percent shooting. Kindell has already been to the free throw line 17 times over the first three games, and converted 16 of those attempts (94.1 percent). His most recent game saw him put up 21 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals in a 93-74 win over North Platte.

He will have two years of eligibility at Wichita State.

DWill 2.0? Anyone remember DWill running behind EO and then squirting around him to get to the hoop before the other team knew what was happening?

[SubGod22]

DWill I believe is still underappreciated by many. I'd take a guy like him on any team.

At one time he was the winningest shocker player in history.
