Note #014: Corey Hadnot II (Positional Scoring Glitch)

Former Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodon Corey Hadnot II entered the transfer portal after his junior 2025-26 season, committing to the Houston Cougars for 2026-27.

In 2025-26, Hadnot II averaged 20.4 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.5 APG, and shot an efficient 60.3% on 312 2PA (he also shot 57/159 from 3 (35.8%), 52% overall).

Here are the other NCAA Division I men's individual seasons, since 1953-54, where a player averaged 20 PPG, 4 RPG, 3.5 APG, and shot at least 60% on 300+ 2PA:

Sorted by 2PA (descending)
1. Reggie Williams (2006-07) - 28.1 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 4.4 APG, 65.8 2P% (398 2PA!)
2. Cameron Boozer (2025-26) - 22.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG, 4.1 APG, 61.5 2P% (384 2PA)
3. Nathan Knight (2018-19) - 21.0 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 3.5 APG, 61.6 2P% (367 2PA)
4. Reggie Williams (2007-08) - 27.8 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 3.9 APG, 63.7% (355 2PA)

A few things:

Yes, VMI's Reggie Williams, who led NCAA Division I men in scoring (PPG) in each season listed above, did it twice.

Back to Hadnot II: what's notable to me is that Williams (6'6" forward), Boozer (6' 9" forward), and Knight (6'10" forward) are a) different positions and b) much taller than the 6'3" guard Hadnot II.

And, for fun, if we slightly drop the 300+ 2PA qualifier to 295+ 2PA, enters:

Kerry Kittles (1994-95) - 21.4 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 3.5 APG, 60.3 2P% (295 2PA)

The 6'5" guard Kittles played one more year at Villanova after his junior season above, eventually going 8th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft.

Lastly, chances are, it's a Cameron Boozer note: (Note #003, Note #004)
