St. Bonaventure men’s basketball senior-to-be Ogo Adegboye was named by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) to the NABC Honors Court as announced on Monday.

The court recognizes those collegiate basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics during the 2009-10 season. The NABC Honors Court recognizes the talents and gifts that these men possess off the court, and the hard work they exhibit in the classroom. In order to be named to the Honors Court, an athlete must meet a high standard of academic criteria.

A native of London, Adegboye averaged 6.6 points, 2.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds over 31 games in his first season in the Brown and White in 2009-10. Adegboye ranked seventh in the Atlantic 10 with a positive 2.0 assist/turnover ratio, while finishing second on the club with 30 three-pointers. A true point guard, Adegboye committed just 10 turnovers over the last 11 games, while passing out 35 assists.

Adegboye started a 12-game stretch at the end of non-conference play through the middle of February and will enter the 20010-11 season as the favorite to take over the point guard position on a permanent basis. Adegboye reached double figures seven times last season and began to develop his outside shot at the end of the season, going 10-for-18 from beyond the arc over the last five games.

Earlier this summer Adegboye, along with 16 other players, took part in a four-team tournament with Great Britain’s U-23 team in Lille, France to compete for a spot to be on the England’s men’s national squad
