AMES, Iowa--Iowa State head men’s basketball coach Greg McDermott announced today that Antwon Oliver, a 6-5 guard from Racine, Wis., has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Iowa State beginning in the 2009-10 season.
Oliver, who will be a freshman next season, averaged 16.3 points and 6.4 rebounds while leading his Horlick (Racine, Wis.) High School team to the Division 1 state championship game in his senior season. Horlick finished the year with a 24-2 record. Oliver was a honorable mention all-state pick and a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel All-Area selection.
“Antwon is an extremely gifted athlete with the ability to play multiple positions,” McDermott said. ”He can score from the perimeter as well as slashing to the basket. We feel he can develop into an outstanding player.”
Oliver, who made 45 3-pointers last season, led his team in scoring in the state championship game with 13 points. He was rated as one of the top-10 players in the state of Wisconsin in the Class of 2009.
Oliver joins Marquis Gilstrap, Chris Colvin and LaRon Dendy as players who have signed letters of intent to play basketball at ISU next season.
