The Freed-Hardeman Lions remain busy on the recruiting trail, recently signing a third player to their 2010-11 class in Michael Tomlin of Jackson, Tenn.
Tomlin, a 6-foot-6 forward, prepped at Jackson North Side HS for Coach Tony Brown, where he averaged 10 points, six rebounds and four blocks per game in his senior season, which was just his second year of organized basketball.
Tomlin received the team's "most improved" award and also received the Indian Scholastic Award after posting a 3.54 GPA. He is expected to redshirt in his first season with Freed-Hardeman and plans to major in criminal justice.
"Michael has tremendous upside," said FHU head coach Jason Shelton. "Redshirting will help him get acclimated into our program, and hopefully he will be able to develop his game to allow him to compete on the floor for us."
"He is a very good student and we are excited to have him in our program. Coach Brown knows what it takes to play at our level and is working to build a program that North Side can be proud of."
Tomlin joins Vincent Dotson (Charlotte, Tenn./Creek Wood HS) and Ben Meis (Memphis, Tenn./FCA Nighthawks) in the Lions' signing class.
Michael is the son of Virginia Williams.
