Omaha’s Veteran Guard with Family Legacy, Yet Limited 2025-26 Impact
Renard Suggs, a 6'2" senior guard from St. Paul, Minnesota, brings a unique differentiator to the Omaha Mavericks: he’s the son of former UNO player Ronnie Suggs, giving him deep familial ties to the program [5][7]. However, his 2025-26 season performance is minimal—he has yet to play a game this season as of early reports, with depth charts showing only 2.9 PPG, 1.1 RPG, and 0.6 APG based on the last five games [1][2]. His career highs came earlier at Gillette College (14.2 PPG freshman year), but he hasn’t replicated that intensity at the Division I level [5]. While his loyalty and local roots are compelling, Suggs lacks the scoring punch or defensive presence to be a primary fit for a competitive team seeking immediate impact. His injury or rotation status remains unclear, but his current role is largely symbolic rather than statistical.
