Walter Bonds joined the Saint Vincent College men's basketball coaching staff in July 2022.
A 2021 Saint Vincent College graduate, Bonds returns to his alma mater after a strong four-year playing career with the Bearcats. He scored 219 points primarily out of the point guard position, while dishing out 76 assists and totaling 49 steals. Bonds was also named to the 2019-20 Presidents' Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Team.
"I'm very grateful that coach D.P. Harris has given me an opportunity to return to Saint Vincent," said Bonds. "Saint Vincent has become like a second home to me, so it's an honor to return. I'm looking forward to helping the men's basketball team get back to winning championships. I can't wait to get to work."
A native of Pittsburgh, Bonds is a 2017 graduate of Bishop Canevin High School, playing four years of basketball. He was a two-time First Team All-Section Honoree, competed in the Roundball Classic High School All-Star game and was a member of the High Academic Honor Roll.
Bonds, who graduated from Saint Vincent with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Operational Excellence, will be enrolled in SVC's Master of Science in Management: Operational Excellence (MSMOE) program during his time as a graduate assistant.
