Colin Ruffin brings low-usage, high-IQ backcourt value to Missouri Southern State
Ruffin profiles as a steady, defense-minded guard whose value comes more from feel and versatility than box-score volume. At Lindenwood in 2024-25, he appeared in 19 games and averaged 1.9 points in 9.5 minutes, while his 2023-24 season showed more playmaking and activity with 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game over 31 games. He’s the kind of connector who can defend, make the extra pass, and compete hard; if Missouri Southern needs a mature role player rather than a high-usage scorer, he fits that mold well.[2][3]
