Conor Enright Going With the Flow

Drake Point Guard Doing His Job

(St. Louis, MO) – Drake point guard Conor Enright is going with the flow. In more ways than one, the redshirt sophomore is continuing the legacy of solid point guard play and team-first play from that position.

Drake (12-2, 3-0) is off to another great start and Enright is a big reason for that success. While his numbers don’t jump off the page, Valley watchers know he helps the high-powered Bulldogs in many intangible ways. Enright’s ‘tangibles’ are impressive. He’s averaging 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists. His shooting percentages are through the roof, making over 50% of his shots overall and from deep.

After sitting behind one of Drake’s all-time greats in Roman Penn, Enright know it’s his time to provide leadership to a team built to win.

 

 

Enright is happy to facilitate for his highly talented teammates. Tucker DeVries, Atin Wright and others are extremely talented players. Going with the flow of getting the ball to efficient scorers is his role. A recent 18-point performance didn’t change his mind.

How important is Enright to the lineup? When he recently missed a game against UAB, the Bulldogs lost for just the second time this year.

 

 

Going With the Flow

Drake is on its way to its sixth straight 20-win season. Coach Darian DeVries has experienced a wildly successful coaching run at Drake and Enright says his head coach is one who truly cares about his players and the details that will help them be successful.

 

 

Enright’s shooting numbers are spectacular and the Illinois native says some of that success comes from knowing when and where to shoot. He’s picking his spots and is also willing to point out the abilities of his talented teammates.

 

 

Going with the Flow

We of course, had to talk about ‘the mullet’. Enright has become famous for his hair style as much as his play on the floor. The fashion statement came as a bit of an accident and the 6’1 sophomore is just having fun with it.

We also wanted to know what it was like to have long time teammate Garrett Sturtz as a coach.

 

 

You can hear our whole conversation with Enright and a conversation with coach DeVries as part of our trial run at a radio show.

Enright is a guy going with the flow and is enjoying his time in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Do Good

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry

Josh Betts @BettsOnSports

Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops

Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi

Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
