Langston Men's Basketball Adds Two For 2018-19

LANGSTON, Oklahoma -- Langston University men's basketball coach Stan Holt unveiled the latest additions to his 2018-19 recruiting class in high school seniors Cliffic Guidry III and Stevie Pringle.

Guidry III and Pringle have enrolled at Langston for Fall 2018 and embark on their freshman seasons during the 2018-19 academic year. Guidry Jr. and Pringle are the only two freshmen Holt has signed for the upcoming 2018-19 campaign.

Guidry III, a 6-foot guard excelled at St. John's School in Houston, Texas and was ranked as one of Texas' top 100 players by Texas Top 100. Guidry III broke countless school records in scoring, three-point shooting, and three-point percentage. The incoming freshmen set records for the most three-point shots made in a game (12) and most in a season (157) while shooting 45% from beyond the arc. He was named all-conference four years in a row and finished his high school career with 2,661 points.

"Cliffic is an incredibly talented player who carries a great demeanor," Coach Stan Holt explained. "He's a humble, hard-working young man who impresses on the court and in the class room. We believe he has a tremendous future. Generally, it is quite challenging for freshmen to compete in the Sooner Athletic Conference, but we feel that he has an excellence chance to make an impact. We're looking forward to watching him develop, and we're confident that he will be a fantastic teammate and excellent representative of our program."

Pringle, a 6-foot-3 wing, helped lead Smiths Station High School to a 19-9 record last season; Pringle was a multi-sport athlete in high school and is an extremely gifted athlete. During his senior campaign, he averaged 16.4 points per game, 8.4 rebounds per game and was named first team all Bi-City and first team by Opelika-Auburn News.

"Stevie really impressed us, both with his ability to defend multiple positions and outrebound bigger players," Holt said. "We like him because he's a winner and brings an unselfish attitude, and we think he will really add to our team's culture, competitiveness, and toughness. Stevie really understands how to win, and he plays the game the right way. We are looking forward to watching Stevie grow as a person, and as a player here at Langston. He's a tremendous young man, excellent student, and we are very fortunate to have him."

Guidry III and Pringle are the third and fourth additions to the 2018-19 Langston squad, joining incoming transfer guard Malik Young and transfer forward Edmond Franklin.
