High School Phenom Turned College Hustle Man for Valpo Beacons
Bobby Capobianco, a 6-8 forward from Loveland, OH, dominated high school as his school's all-time leading scorer, rebounder, and shot-blocker (17.3 PPG, 12 RPG senior year), earning LaRosa's MVP honors before committing to Indiana. At IU (2009-11), he posted 1.7 PPG and 2.0 RPG across 57 games off the bench (.414 FG%), showcasing gritty rebounding and defensive sparks in limited minutes. Now with Valparaiso Beacons, this versatile big brings battle-tested intensity, academic smarts (Academic All-Big Ten), and all-around threat potential—perfect fit for teams needing tough, developmental frontcourt depth.
