"Favour is a proven scorer who can really shoot the basketball. He shot 46 percent from the three-point line in junior college this year and almost 50 percent as a freshman. In addition to the impact he will make on the floor, he will make an even bigger one in the classroom where he is a 4.0 student. I am beyond excited to have Favour be a leader on and off the court for the 2021-22 Cougars."
