Alabama State picks up commitment from JUCO F Maurice Strong

SWAINSBORO, Georgia --  Alabama State basketball seems to have addressed one of its biggest areas of need the day before the NCAA's spring signing period begins.

With the departure of 6-foot-7 forward tandem seniors Phillip Crawford and Shawntez Patterson, the Hornets have added strength to their frontline---literally.

Tuesday morning, online reports surfaced that 6-6 JUCO power forward Maurice Strong had committed to Alabama State.

CB Hoops, an outlet out of Columbus, broke the news first via its Twitter account.



Strong averaged a double-double at Aiken Technical College as a sophomore, putting up 14.6 points while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 10 rebounds in 27 games for a Knight's squad which finished a couple games below .500. at 13-15. Their season ended with a 78-74 loss to Cape Fear Community College in the first round of the National Junior College Athletic Association Region 10 D-1 tournament.
