"Antwone has an intense desire to win and his tenacity is infectious," coach Fife said. "We expect Antwone to give us some immediate help with regard to rebounding and defense. Further down the line, with some very hard work, Antwone will develop into more of a complete player with the ability to utilize his strength and quickness on the perimeter as well. He's been well coached all the way up having played for a great AAU Coach in Allen Ragland and Chris Tifft at Lamar. We are pleased to welcome him to our family."
