Jim Lane has signed his first recruit at Union County College - Alex Jones from New Jersey state champions St. Patrick's. Here's the press release from Lane and UCC:
Alex Jones is the first high school recruit to commit to joining the Owls for the 2009-2010, and should immediately contribute to the Owls goal of becoming competitive for the league title. Alex comes to UCC from the heralded St. Patrick High School of Elizabeth, New Jersey program, a perrenial national Top 10 program. Alex was a member of multiple state championship teams and a leading contributor to St. Patrick's number 1 ranking in New Jersey in the 2008-2009 campaign as they won the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions. "Alex raises the bar for future recruits to our men's program and was our immediate top recruit upon seeing him play; I realized immediately that this young man would have averaged a double-double at almost any other high school in the state, and is ready to play at the college level immediately." said Coach Lane. Alex will play at the shooting guard and small forward positions for the Owls in the 2009-2010 season and will be vital in handling the basketball against the pressure defenses in Region XIX.
