He also made an immediate impact as a transfer player by leading all of Division I in scoring with a 29.3 points per game average.[2] Despite his explosive scoring ability, the Broncs finished the season with a 2–20 overall record.[4] He, therefore, was on the worst team in college basketball history to have the nation's leading scorer on its roster.
