Richaun Holmes is used to flying under the radar.
Despite a seven inch growth spurt to 6-9 between his sophomore and junior year of high school, Holmes’ newly towering frame with guard-like skills earned him zero Division I scholarship offers.
Holmes instead elected to play at Moraine Valley Community College, where he achieved junior college All-American honors. His freshman year performance yielded him his coveted Division I scholarship offer — at Bowling Green University.
Holmes’ three-year tenure at Bowling Green showed steady signs of progress as he settled into his prodigious frame. After his junior year, he added a 3-point shot to his arsenal.
