ENMU basketball grabs JUCO transfer

PORTALES — The Eastern New Mexico University men’s basketball team has added a junior college transfer in forward Brian Roberts.

The team announced the signing of the 6-foot-6 Roberts, who will come from Western Texas Junior College, in a release from the school.

Roberts, a Cleveland native, shot 52 percent from the field and had a total of 35 blocked shots. He also played a season at Jamestown Community College. He was the defensive player of the year as a senior at John Hay High School in Cleveland.

“I am so excited that Brian has chosen to be a part of our Greyhound family,” ENMU coach Tres Segler said. “Brian’s work ethic and athletic ability made him a standout in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference. He was widely known as one of the toughest and hardest working big men in a junior college region that produces high-major Division I recruits year after year. He is a tireless defender that uses his 7-foot-2 wingspan to block shots and rebound. He ranked seventh in the WJCAC in blocked shots and 11th overall in Region 5 in blocks, and he did so at 6’6. We look forward to seeing Brian’s high motor and relentless approach to winning impact our program here at ENMU.“

The Greyhounds finished 13-15 last year.
