Men's Basketball Adds Jaaron Greene as Fourth Signee
April 25, 2003
WASHINGTON, DC - Center Jaaron Greene (Bristow, VA/Mt. Zion) has signed a National Letter-of-Intent with The George Washington University, head basketball coach Karl Hobbs has announced. He is GW's fourth signee for 2003-04 joining Ricky Lucas, Carl Elliott and J.R. Pinnock.
The 6-foot-10, 275-pound Greene averaged 12.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks under coach Antonio Fozard at Mt. Zion Christian Academy in Durham, NC. Mt. Zion also produced Orlando Magic star Tracy McGrady.
Mt. Zion posted a record of 25-5 (.833) during Greene's senior season and won one of three games against powerhouse Oak Hill (VA) Academy. The Mighty Warriors also won the Del Curry Shootout Tournament in Charlotte, NC, earlier this season. Mt. Zion posted a 27-3 record during Greene's junior season for a combined 52-8 (.867) record during Greene's two seasons on the varsity.
"[Greene] has good hands and a wide body with a decent shooting touch," said Tom Konchalski of HSBI Reports.
"Jaaron gives us more depth, size and strength," Hobbs said. "He provides us with a much better ability to post-up and score in the interior."
Greene also considered Georgetown before committing to GW.
