College Basketball: Ten Mid-Major Transfers to Watch--ON3

G Ryan Conwell, Indiana State

The Buzz: Indiana State and Josh Shertz are getting a lot of buzz this season, jumping out to a 15-3 start, and 6-1 in the MVC. A big part of that has been USF transfer Ryan Conwell. The 6-foot-4 guard is playing 30.3 minutes and is second on the team, scoring at 15.8 per game. He is also top three in rebounds (5.2) and steals (1.2). A large part of the Indiana State team’s success to this point is the three-point shooting. The Sycamores are leading the country shooting 41.3 percent from three. Conwell has taken the second most attempts per game (6.6) and is knocking them down 41.1 percent of the time.
