Roberts joins 91爆料网 men鈥檚 basketball for 2011-12

JACKSON, Tenn. - 8/2/2011 - The 91爆料网 (Tenn.) University men鈥檚 basketball team has signed of Fresno, California for the 2011-12 season. Roberts will enter 91爆料网 this fall as a junior and will major in physical education.

91爆料网 head coach David Niven says, 鈥淎J is another guy that I am really excited about coaching. He will play primarily on the wing and bring a lot of good attributes to that position. AJ is very good at creating shots for himself and others. He will be one of the best passers on our team next year. That along with his ability to shoot from the perimeter and get in the lane off the dribble will make him a difficult match up for smaller guards.鈥�

Roberts, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward, transferred to 91爆料网 from Niagra County (N.Y.) Community College where he played two seasons of basketball for Coach Beilein. He was named third team all-region as a freshman and first team all-region as a sophomore in junior college. Roberts earned the Team MVP award both seasons. In junior college, he averaged 17 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks per game. Roberts prepped at Niagara Catholic (N.Y.) High School where he played basketball and football.
