Cal
Scout Report
When a Texas guard flips from Missouri to Cal, you know the Golden Bears sold him on something special.
Background
Connor Owens calls Friendswood home, suiting up for a program that's produced solid college talent over the years. The 2026 guard caught Missouri's attention early enough to land an offer from the Tigers. He teams up with Chase Richardson, a 2027 point guard who's already making noise as a top-100 prospect in his class.
Playing Style
Owens plays with the kind of basketball IQ that coaches love - he understands spacing, makes the right read, and doesn't force bad shots. His feel for the game translates on both ends, where he communicates well and rarely gets caught out of position defensively. The Cal commitment suggests he's got the skill set to play multiple guard spots at the next level. Still needs to add strength and continue developing his pull-up game, but the foundation is absolutely there for a solid college career.
Recruitment
Flipping from Missouri to Cal tells you everything about how Mark Madsen's staff evaluated his upside. The Bears beat out the Tigers for his services, which means they see him fitting their system perfectly. Cal's getting a player who should contribute early in his college career.
