HOBBS SHINES IN SLOVENIA
Kameron Hobbs, a 2025 Morgan State graduate and 2025 All-MEAC First Team selection, made an immediate impact in his first game of the season for Hopsi Polzela in Slovenia's Liga OTP banka.

The 5-foot-10 point guard turned in an MVP-caliber performance, scoring 24 points in just 29 minutes to lead Hopsi Polzela to a convincing 74-59 victory over sixth-ranked Helios Suns.

Hobbs added three rebounds and two assists, showcasing the scoring and playmaking that helped make him one of the MEAC's top guards during his collegiate career.

The performance came as Hobbs enters his second season of professional basketball and immediately helped establish his presence in the Slovenian league. Hopsi Polzela currently sits near the top of the league standings as the early-season campaign continues.

During his senior season at Morgan State, Hobbs earned All-MEAC First Team honors, helping solidify his reputation as one of the conference's premier backcourt players before beginning his professional career overseas.

DAVIS JR. MAKING HIS MARK IN LITHUANIA
Stanley Davis Jr., a 2020 Morgan State graduate, is also making an impact overseas, helping Gargzdai to an 87-78 victory over sixth-ranked Neptunas in the Lithuanian Betsafe Lietuvos krepsinio lyga.

The 6-foot-5 guard contributed 11 points, four assists, three steals, and one rebound in 19 minutes of action, providing an efficient all-around performance in the victory.

Davis Jr. has been a key contributor for Gargzdai, which currently owns a 2-1 record and sits near the top of the Lithuanian league standings.

Through the early portion of the season, Davis Jr. is averaging 12.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, demonstrating his ability to impact the game in multiple areas.

A versatile guard who has continued his professional career overseas, Davis Jr. has established himself as a consistent contributor while competing in Lithuania.

BEARS CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR MARK
The performances by Hobbs and Davis Jr. are the latest examples of Morgan State men's basketball alumni extending the Bears' presence beyond Baltimore and onto the international basketball stage.

As former Bears continue their professional careers around the world, their success provides another reflection of the talent developed within the Morgan State men's basketball program.
