According to ESPN, he was a 4-star recruit out of high school listed at 6-3/175.

This season, he was listed at 6-4/200. So he's definitely matured physically and gained some strength. Looks like he has the frame to add even more muscle over the course of the next year plus.

For comparison, Greg Elliott was listed at 6-3/170 this season.

Welcome to Marquette, Koby!

Fantastic job by Wojo and staff.... we've been down the road of being excited by rosters on paper before - but very hopeful this leads to some really exciting seasons.

I agree. I hope it pans out, but kudos to Wojo for getting the guys he wanted to get.

I’m excited about this but I’m a bit skeptical as it seems he’s really bad on defense, at least that’s what I remember reading. Also a lot of turnovers. Is that right?

What I remember reading was that he was strong on defense his freshman year, but slipped quite a bit his sophomore year.  I have a feeling that that will be addressed once he's officially on board and the coaching staff can comment.

I also am thinking that with Utah State being in an area that Stan knows well that MU probably had a very good read on this guy.

Sure, definitely should be.

No, I’m quite sure it is. Every recruit that commits shortly after his visit has a similar image up very shortly after. Chartouney had a similar image up himself. My guess is that those pictures are in MU’s pitch and that’s where they’re getting them.

Excellent and unexpected news! Lots of complaining this year that it seems like Wojo teams have been perpetually young and that we wish he pulled more Buzz-like moves to get more immediate impact players. Well, Wojo just did that twice in one weekend. Super exciting.

Has anyone heard anything further about the potential changes to the transfer rules that would allow kids to play immediately if they have a specified GPA (reportedly considering between 3.0 and 3.5)?  Last I heard, it might be up for a vote in June.  Is there any realistic chance that McEwen could be on the floor next year?

I am as stoked as I can be about this news...Chartouny and McEwen are just what the doctor ordered. NOW, we should see MU's ascent up the college basketball ranks, and regain their rightful place. I don't think anyone can say expectations are too high for next year...They should be SKY high.

Tourney for sure, top 3 BEast and challenge for title through the last week or two, S16 run base case (obviously a lot can happen with injuries, matchups). Good spot to be in!

The little things:

Drive with both hands......
Finish with both hands....
EuroStep....Shooting....Big East Guard body at 6'4" (think Kamar Baldwin type).....

Both McKewen and Chartouny were their conference freshman of the year in their respective conferences.....

McKewen took a step back last year because he was the focus of continuous double teams.....only 16 5 5.....

This kid has a chance to be "real" "real" good......Playing on a "balanced" team with go to team-mates.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv6XWudHrEk

Good luck.....Koby......

PS....This will have no influence on our 19 recruiting.....If anything.....Instead of just recruiting a PG from a list of 3.....We can now recruit a PG, SG, or Combo guard from a list of 10....

Another 2 star unatheltic (sic) Scottish kid. Great - JohnnyB (probably)

I'm very psyched for next season and already trying to figure out if I can make it to Brooklyn and a few other games.

But I think I'm already even more psyched for 2019-2020. Looking so far ahead isn't usually like me, but that could be a Final Four team if every player plays close to his potential.

I have watched a ton of his college videos.  Love this kids offense.  Dont want over hype because its such a diificult job but i think he could be an NBA PG.  Great range, trenendous handle, good vision, goes left and right and finishes with strength with each hand.  Big strong athletic kid, if he doesnt defend well its of his choosing, all the tools.  Reminds me of Kris Dunn, but better shooter at this point.

We are both sportswriters (at least I used to be). As such animals, we love sports and we want to appreciate things we observe, but we retain a little bit of skepticism.

At this point, there is every reason to believe 2019-20 will be the best year of MU hoops since the E8 team - or maybe even the D-Wade team.

But again, super excited about next season, too. I am planning to go to Brooklyn and hope to get to the new arena if my travels and schedule allow.

I feel really good for you after seeing this post, guru. I wish you'd let yourself enjoy the little (and big) triumphs a little more often.

I thought the same thing watching the video, a Duane that is healthy which I am not sure Duane was in his career, hope Koby stays healthy.  I really like kids who
seat a year in a program, they improve.  The Sacar improvement was impressive.  I was never sure he would get off the bench.

That was a great weekend!  I think we are at Buzz level for next few seasons.  Starting to feel optimistic that Wojo is getting it rolling.  Best mix of players since he's been here.
