It was the 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pound guard’s first Division I offer to date.

Pierre-Louis is a lefty guard with a powerful, growing body who uses his strength to get to the hoop and finish with proficiency.

A two-star player at the moment, the Plainfield, NJ, resident’s stock is sure to rise as he matures physically and mentally.

The UC Santa Barbara Gauchos posted a 21-10 overall record and went 10-6 in Big West Conference action last season.
