Findlay College Prep (Henderson, NV) announced today that junior point guard DeAndre Liggins has signed on to play basketball for the second year program for the 2007-08 season.
"We are extremely excited about DeAndre joining our program. We look forward to working with him as a student and a player as we help him prepare for life beyond Findlay College Prep,” Michael Peck, Head Coach for Findlay College Prep said. “Like all of our players, our goal is for our guys to leave us as better students, better players, and better people. We are confident that he will represent our program well, not only from a talent standpoint, but from a character standpoint as well," Peck added. The national schedule, schooling, and the year round training factored into the decision. “Everything is really nice here,” Liggins said. "I’m excited because I love to play defense and play up tempo. I like to get my teammates involved and I look forward to helping the team win every game we play,” he added.
Liggins played at George Washington High School in Chicago as a junior averaging 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. The 6’6 playmaker committed to play at Kentucky for Coach Billy Gillispie on June 26.
Liggins joins top 150 ranked players Clarence Trent and Deividas Dulkys at Findlay Prep. In addition to Liggins, the incoming class includes 2008 Jordan Bachynski of Calgary (7’), class of 2009 Clarence Trent (6’7), class of 2009 Nigerians Godwin Okonje (6’9) and Raphael Akpejiori (6’9).
