“This is an exciting time for our basketball program, to be able to add five great student-athletes from our home state is awesome. All five bring a high level of skill, competitiveness, and work ethic. I cannot wait to have them join us next fall. They will fit in great with the group of returners we will have back” said Coach Clark.
