U Ottawa Triples Down on Simcoe United Spartans
This past week, University of Ottawa secured commitments from 3 of the top players in NPHShowcase League. Owen Kenney, Will McCauley, and Ryan Harris all announced they will be suiting up for the GeeGees next season.
Joining a team in the OUA who enjoyed a 19-3 season last year, there aren’t many better situations in the country to learn and develop in. Being in and around a winning culture will elevate them both on & off the floor.
6’7 Wing Owen Kenney
The multi-dimensional scoring wing has all the tools to make an instant impact at the University level. Capable 3pt shooter with good size and athleticism for position. With his offensive ability he can fit into a number of different systems whether he’s needed to be a catch&shoot guy or put it on the floor and make plays. Expecting him to be an instant-impact piece.
We are very proud to welcome @OwenKenney11 to #GGnation! 🐎
Owen is an exciting addition to our program, an electrifying 6-7 wing from Barrie, joining us from @OrangevillePrep and the @SimcoeSpartans AAU program! pic.twitter.com/ORlvrMN9nL

6’3 Guard Ryan Harris
Leading scorer for the Simcoe United Spartans in the NPHShowcase League at 15ppg, Ryan Harris is a crafty guard who will provide the GeeGees with strong and reliable guard play. Most recently, Ryan is coming off the 2024 OFSSAA AA Championship with St.Joseph’s High School.
Nous avons le grand plaisir d’accueillir Ryan Harris dans la #GGnation! 🐎
Originaire de Barrie, Ryan est un talentueux meneur de jeu de 6 pieds 3 pouces qui nous vient du programme des @SimcoeSpartans et des Jaguars de l’É.S.C. St. Joseph, champions de l’OFSSA 2024 (AA)! pic.twitter.com/MV1Sdpwxq0

6’5 Wing Will McCauley
Another OFSAA AA Champ joining the GeeGees, Will McCauley also played with Ryan Harris at St. Joseph’s HS. Will is averaging 10ppg for Simcoe United in the NPHShowcase League and is another skilled wing with good size at the next level.
We are proud to welcome Will McCauley to the Gee-Gees family! 🤝
Another Barrie native and product of Simcoe United and OFSSA champs St. Joseph’s C.H.S., Will is a dynamic 6-5 wing and we’re excited to see what he’ll do in Garnet and Grey!
