COLLEGE

In limited minutes, Hadley averaged 2.5 points and 0.5 rebounds per game, shooting 19-of-49 from the field (.388) and 16-of-41 from three (.390), with his made field goals heavily weighted to the perimeter.
His biggest moment that season came in NM State’s WAC opener at Chicago State on January 6, 2018, when he erupted for a season-high 14 points in just 10 minutes, going 5-of-6 from the floor and a perfect 4-of-4 from deep in a 97–60 win.
That freshman year also included team success, with New Mexico State finishing 28–6 overall and 12–2 in WAC play, then winning the WAC Tournament to reach the NCAA Tournament as a No. 12 seed, where the Aggies were eliminated by No. 5 seed Clemson, 79–68, in San Diego.
Hadley transferred to UC San Diego and spent 2018–19 as a sophomore in the Tritons’ rotation, appearing in 33 games off the bench and averaging 6.4 points in 15.1 minutes per game while shooting 72-of-142 (.507) overall and 54-of-111 from three (.486).
As a junior in 2019–20 at UC San Diego, he again played a bench role across 28 games, lifting his output to 8.7 points per game in 18.4 minutes while shooting 80-of-166 (.482) from the field and 47-of-110 (.427) from three.
He finished his college career in 2020–21 as a senior during UC San Diego’s transition season at the Division I level, starting all 17 games and averaging 12.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 29.7 minutes per night while hitting 72-of-150 (.480) from the field and 42-of-100 from three (.420).
