Pioneers' Steady Guard Turned Jockey Star
Kinnon LaRose, Sacred Heart's reliable guard, averaged 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 37.8% from three in the 2016-17 season across 32 games (12 starts), showcasing gritty leadership as team captain with a 46.0% FG career mark per ESPN. His high-motor intensity and basketball-to-racetrack transition highlight unmatched versatility and work ethic—now thriving as a jockey post-graduation ('19 BA, '20 MA). Not active in college hoops anymore, but his proven competitor's edge makes him a cultural fit for teams valuing toughness over flash.
