head men’s basketball coach Cameron Dollar has announced that Adam Eakles (, ) has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend and join the men’s basketball program beginning in the 2009-10 academic year.
Eakles, a 6’7”, 210-pound forward, has led to the Tri-County Conference playoffs in each of the past two seasons. This past season, he led the league in scoring, averaging 17 points per game, to go along with 163 rebounds and 48 blocked shots.
A three-time All-League performer, Eakles has been named the team MVP in both his junior and senior seasons. He was selected to play in the Optimist All-Star Game, a contest that features the top seniors from the area.
“Adam has a chance to be a terrific player in our program,” Dollar said. “He is a forward that can play both inside the paint and outside on the perimeter. He has shown exceptional versatility throughout his career, even playing point guard for his team last year.”
Eakles joins a program that posted a 21-8 record last year, including a 13-8 mark against Division I schools.
