St John’s Dylan Darling was one of the best glue guys in all of college basketball this season.
The 6’1 Junior PG had a strong season where he averaged 7/3/3 along with 1.5 SPG in only 21 MPG.
Darling was one of the best guard defenders in college basketball this season with his mix of instincts and motor. Darlings motor and ability to stay in front of anyone in the POA helped him be one of the most impactful defenders in the country, he’s also an impactful off ball defender with his ability to switch and read passing lanes for steals. On the offensive end Darling has high level passing vision and can find his teammates in the PNR or as a connective passer. He’s also a skilled scorer in the PNR who ranked in the 75th percentile with his mix of finishing and mid range scoring. Darling shot an impressive 60% at the rim this season while also having great pace as a PG who rarely turned the ball over. Darling also uses his ability to get steals to create a two way player on the other end. There’s not many players in college basketball with Darling’s mix of motor, defense, passing, finishing, and pace.
Congratulations to our very own, @JonasAlger, for being named to The @SilverWaveMedia 2026 Rising Stars List! He will be attending The Elite 75 Power Lunch at the Men’s Final Four In Indianapolis next week. Good luck Jonas!
Rick Pitino on Dylan Darling's game-winner:
"Bells comes up to me, and says run (a play for me). So I walk away like, wait a second, he hasn't scored a bucket and he wants to run a play for himself. And I'm thinking, but he's Bells!" 😂
CSUMB has set a single-season school record for wins in men's basketball after beating Chico State 70-54, clinching a spot in the CCAA conference tournament.
