TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State men's basketball head coach Josh Schertz announced Tuesday the signing of Indianapolis native and transfer guard Ryan Conwell.
 
Conwell, an Indiana All-Star and the 2022 Marion County Player of the Year, comes to the Sycamores after playing his freshman season at the University of South Florida.
 
"I am thrilled to add Ryan and his family to our program," said Coach Schertz. "We are very excited about what Ryan brings on and off the court, and we expect him to be an immediate difference maker for us. He is the kind of playmaker, shooter, and impact defender that we need in our continued pursuit of a Missouri Valley Conference Championship."
 
Conwell played in all 32 games for USF in 2022-23 with 21 starts as a true freshman. He averaged 18.5 minutes per game and ranked second on the Bulls with 28 steals and third with 60 total assists in his freshman campaign. Conwell shot 34 percent from the field and 30 percent from three, and he averaged 5.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. He posted a career-high 20 points against Tulane with four triples and nailed four triples again four days later at UCF. He dished out a career-high eight assists against Charleston Southern.
 
As a senior at Pike High School, Conwell averaged 22.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game alongside 3.7 assists and 3.0 steals per game. He posted 16.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists as a junior and was named to the MIC All-Conference Team both of those years. Conwell finished his prep career with 1,083 points.
 
Along with being an Indiana All-Star and Marion County Player of the Year, Conwell participated in the Prep Ball Stars Midwest Challenge and was named to the IBCA/Franciscan Health Supreme 15 All-State Team.
