UAlbany lands Ohio guard.... gets verbal commitment from Chicago forward

UAlbany lands Ohio guard

UAlbany got another commitment for 2008-09 when Zanesville (Ohio) guard Logan Aronhalt verballed on Thursday night.

Aronhalt, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound senior, averaged 18 points and eight rebounds last season for his father and coach, Scott. He earned first-team all-state honors.

Aronhalt chose UAlbany over scholarship offers from Bowling Green, Duquesne, Air Force, Holy Cross, Bucknell, Vermont and Toledo.

Aronhalt gives the Great Danes a big guard to replace 6-5 Brian Lillis, who is graduating after this season.



UAlbany gets verbal commitment from Chicago forward

UAlbany received a verbal commitment on Sunday night from 6-foot-9 forward Jake Lindfors of Driscoll Catholic High School in Chicago. Lindfors will join UAlbany for the 2008-09 season.

Lindfors averaged 17.6 and 9.5 rebounds last season and had 16 double-doubles.

Lindfors’ commitment will become official when he signs his national letter of intent during the early signing period from Nov. 14-21.

Lindfors chose UAlbany over offers from Illinois State, Eastern Kentucky, Wright State, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinios, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Florida Gulf Coast and DePaul, which may have wanted Lindfors to redshirt as a freshman.

This should leave UAlbany head coach Will Brown with two more scholarships to give for 2008-09. Forward Brent Wilson and guards Brian Lillis and Jon Iati are graduating after this season.
