LSU Basketball landed a commitment from Australian guard Owen Foxwell on Monday night, according to multiple reports.

The 22-year-old is averaging 11.1 points on 41% shooting, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 24.3 minutes per game for the South East Melbourne Phoenix this season.

Here's his bio:

The 22-year-old has improved rapidly so far in the NBL at the South East Melbourne Phoenix and now enters a fifth season being backed in as the starting point guard.

Started as a development player back in NBL22 season before receiving significantly more opportunities in NBL23.

Delivered 18.6 points and 5.2 assists after that in the NBL1 South at the Eltham Wildcats before taking another step forward in NBL24 with 4.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.5 minutes.

Starred for Eltham in the 2024 championship season with 20.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.0 steals before thriving under coach Josh King in NBL25 with 8.1 points and 2.6 assists in over 17 minutes.

Played in the NZ NBL at the Taranaki Airs in the off-season as well as for Australia at the FIBA Asia Cup while coming into NBL26 with full confidence of his coach.

Any Aussie basketball players want to migrate to the US, just contact David Patrick. He will hook you up. You don't even have to play, just warm the bench.

Interesting: Wasn’t the whole assistant-staff being dismissed? BTW, I do trust Coach McMahon.

He'll get a frustrating injury the day before SEC play.

Another huge get for David Patrick! He can sit on to the bench next to LSU’s other overseas “star”, Ron Zipper.

Has anyone ever gotten so much run off of ONE player (Ben Simmons) as Patrick?

The Australian connection goes all the way back to Dale Brown and Eddie Palubinskas in 1970.
