KU men's basketball adds transfer guard Coit

During one of the quietest portions of the year for college basketball, Kansas made some noise on Friday.

Former Northern Illinois guard David “Diggy” Coit, a transfer point guard with one year of eligibility remaining, committed to KU, the Journal-World has confirmed.

Coit, who is listed at 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, was a high-volume scorer in two seasons with the Huskies after one year at Atlantic Cape Community College in his home state of New Jersey. He earned third-team all-MAC honors in both 2022-23 and 2023-24, most recently tallying 20.8 points per game — a top-25 mark nationwide — last season while attempting an average of 17 shots.

Coit added 3.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game during the campaign. His scoring prowess took center stage in the later weeks of the season as he averaged 27.7 points across the final six matchups for a team that ultimately finished the year 11-20. In that period, he shot 25-for-76 (32.9%) from beyond the arc.
