Fresh off their victory in the Grind Session Play-In event, Iowa United has secured a coveted spot in the Grind Session Power Conference. Under the guidance of head coach Dean Oliver—former NBA player for the Golden State Warriors—this team is poised to make an impact in their upcoming matchups against Rosemary Anderson and Chi Prep on Saturday, November 2 at 1:30 PM and Sunday, November 3 at 9:00 AM.
Leading the charge is Kaleel Sutton-White (5’11 PG, Class of 2025), a selfless point guard who elevates his team with smart playmaking and solid rebounding skills. Known for his sharp court vision, Sutton-White excels at setting up teammates while also taking advantage of his own scoring opportunities when needed. Joining him is Arafan Diane (6’11 C, Class of 2026), who dominated in the Play-In event, displaying both reliable scoring near the basket and impressive rebounding. Diane’s ability to control the paint will be crucial as Iowa United steps up to Power Conference competition.
Iowa commit Navon Shabazz (6’3 PG/SG, Class of 2026) brings a scoring punch and playmaking flair, adding even more depth to Iowa United’s backcourt. Alongside him is Samuel Mbingazo (6’10 C, Class of 2026), a double-double machine who’s already attracting attention from high-major programs like Arizona State and West Virginia. Mbingazo’s presence in the paint, combined with Diane’s interior skills, makes Iowa United a formidable force under the rim.
