Tigers Sign Sharpshooter Colby Rogers
Jun 06, 2024 | Men's Basketball
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis men's basketball head coach Penny Hardaway and his staff officially announced the addition of sharpshooter Colby Rogers to the squad for 2024-25.
One of the most coveted 3-point shooters in the country, Rogers transfers within the American Athletic Conference to Memphis after spending two seasons at Wichita State. Prior to that, Rogers was an all-conference performer at Siena in 2021-22 and finished as Cal Poly's second-leading scorer in each of his two seasons with the Mustangs (2019-21). He has one final season of eligibility remaining.
Season tickets to see the Tigers are available for purchase now at THIS LINK or by calling the Memphis Ticket Office at (901) 678-2331.
After sitting out the 2022-23 campaign to satisfy NCAA transfer rules, the 6-foot-4 guard started all 34 games for the Shockers last season and averaged a team high 16.4 points with 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists each time out.
Rogers broke the program's single-season record with 99 made 3-pointers (17th in DI) and connected at a 40.9-percent clip (25th in DI) on 7.1 attempts per game. Only once in Memphis basketball history has a player made more than 90 triples in a season (Rodney Carney, 102, in 2005-06).
The Covington, Georgia product scored 10-plus points in 28 of the team's 34 games and really caught fire at the end of the season, averaging 26.3 points with 23 made triples (62.1%) over his last four regular season games.
Rogers made multiple triples in 27 games and scored at least 20 points in 10. He finished fifth in the AAC with an 82.8-percent mark from the free throw line (77-for-93), dished out 64 assists and swiped 35 steals.
He began his collegiate career at Cal Poly in 2019 where he played two seasons and finished as the team's 2nd-leading scorer both times. In 49 games (25 starts), Rogers averaged 10.0 points.
He then transferred to Siena for the 2021-22 season, where he earned second-team All-MAAC honors with an average of 14.1 points per game.
