It is that time of year again for Division I Athletics, as high school senior prospects from around the country start to commit to their school of choice on national signing day.
The Raiders added 20 new recruits to their ranks from Nov. 10 to Nov. 17, in Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, Volleyball and Baseball.
Never doubt Nagy
Men’s Basketball had the least number of signees of the four sports, but that does not mean both
of Nagy’s picks are anything short of strong.
Logan Woods and Drey Carter will be strong guards for the lineup, and both have their different strengths to play towards.
At 6’8’’, Carter will be the tallest guard on the Raider lineup and brings an incredible 45% three-point percentage from his junior season.
To put that in perspective, Tim Finke, the team’s leading three-point scorer last season, only shot about 41% from the three-point line.
For his part, Woods is 6’4’’, around the average size of the other guards on the lineup, scoring an average of 16.1 PPG on 46.5% shooting from the floor for an all-around solid attacking player.
While Woods seems like a guard that Nagy is used to, Carter will be an explosive player to watch, especially with his size and his accuracy from range.
Hoffman’s first
Women’s Basketball was able to secure four signees in Head Coach Kari Hoffman’s first signing class, with the highlight being Lauren Scott.
Scott looks to be a starter in the making for the Raiders, averaging 21.7 PPG throughout last year, shooting 48% from the floor and 39% from the three-point range.
She follows the Raider mentality of being strong off the glass, averaging just under five per game. She was also named her conference player of the year and was a third-team All-State player.
She looks like exactly the style of guard that led the Raiders to their conference championship like Angel Baker and Emani Jefferson, able to score from any range on the court and also averaging about five rebounds per game for their team.
