🏀 HutchCC's Angelo Stuart inks National Letter of intent with UW-Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE – Angelo Stuart has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Milwaukee men's basketball team, head coach Bart Lundy announced today.

Stuart, a 6-foot, 1-inch, 185-pound shooting guard, comes to Milwaukee following an All-American campaign at Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kansas.

"Not only is Angelo an All-American guard, but he is one of the best students and most energetic individuals that I have recruited in 30 years of coaching," Lundy said. "I am so excited to have the opportunity to have him in the program and he is going to be a fan favorite from day one. Not only will he be a great player for us, but he will be one of the best ambassadors for our program we will ever have."

Stuart was named a National Junior College Athletic Association Third Team All-American after leading the Blue Dragons to a 26-9 record, a second-place finish in the Jayhawk Conference, a Region VI Tournament runner-up finish, while also advancing to the second round of the 2022 NJCAA Tournament.

Stuart led the Jayhawk Conference in scoring in 2021-22 and finished 12th in the NJCAA in scoring at 22.2 points per game. His 689 total points scored were the most for the program since 2018 (and 13th-most in school history).

He established a new Blue Dragon single-season record for three-pointers made with 104 this season, connecting on 40.5 percent (104-of-257) of his attempts from deep. He put together three different outings in which he hit at least six 3's, scoring in double-figures 31 times while topping 30 on three different occasions.

Stuart scored a season-high 34 points twice, both times coming against Dodge City. He also had a 30-point game against Connors State in the NJCAA Tournament. In addition to his All-America honors, Stuart was named First-Team All-Jayhawk Conference/Region VI. Besides the scoring average of 22.2 ppg, he also recorded per-game averages of 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 32 games, shooting nearly 80 percent (.780) from the free-throw line.

Stuart spent the 2020-21 campaign at Seattle, playing in 17 games. That followed a very successful true freshman season at Mineral Area College in Park Hills, Missouri. While there, he led the Cardinals to a 30-2 record, the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference Championship, and the No. 1 seed in the Region 16 Tournament. In 32 games played, he led MAC in scoring at 17.8 ppg while shooting nearly 55 percent from the field, 40 percent from three and 80.4 percent from the charity stripe, adding 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He was named First Team All-MCCAC, First Team All-Region 16, Region 16 Player of the Year and NJCAA Division I Second Team All-American, all while he maintained a 4.0 GPA during 2019-20, earning NJCAA First Team All-Academic honors.
