He had some great accomplishments at Schoolcraft leading his team to the national junior college tournament. He has excellent size at his position, and I am extremely impressed with his defensive ability.
Derrick is an excellent student and a great fit for our program.
The New Market, Ala., native averaged 24.3 points as a senior at Buckhorn High School in 1999-2000, scoring 45 points in a win over Hazel Green. Brandon is a great fit for our system at the forward position. He was outstanding player coming out of Buckhorn High School and then had a tremendous year at Notre Dame Prep. That year of experience has be huge benefit for him. The addition of Brandon and Derrick with our early signees gives us four very athletic players that with time should be great fits for our style.
