URI's Promising Freshman Point Guard from 2011-12 Era
Mike Powell burst onto the college scene as a URI Rams guard, starting at point guard in his 2011-12 freshman debut against George Mason with 11 points, 6 assists, a steal, and a rebound in 39 minutes—showcasing poise, playmaking vision, and high basketball IQ beyond his years. A smooth lefty with big-game potential (evident in high school highlights draining 4 second-half threes), he's a differentiator for teams needing a floor general who elevates teammates; injury-free start and Washington D.C. pedigree make him a low-risk, high-upside fit for competitive programs chasing A-10 success.
