Name: Luka Toews
Position: Guard
Year: Freshman
Number: 10
Height/Weight: 6’1/190
Hometown: Tokyo, Japan
Last Season: Toews, a native of Japan, enters his first year of college basketball with some decent hype around him. As a high three-star prospect, Toews had offers from Loyola-Chicago and Colgate, among others. He is a natural point guard with a decent three-point stroke and the ability to get his teammates involved.
Season Outlook: Early reports suggest that Toews has made in impact during preseason and could be ready to contribute to the team this season. BC’s depth in the backcourt is well-noted by now, but outside of Chas Kelley there really isn’t an obvious choice to run the second-team offense. Toews could potentially be that guy. One other important note: Toews was listed as around 16-170 pounds coming out of high school — he is now listed at 190 on BC’s official roster. That could go a long way to easing his transition to the college game sooner rather than later.
