Houston Cougars Basketball - Fall 2010/Spring 2011 Signees

Recruiting - the life blood of college sports.  Cougars head coach James Dickey continues to build his squad with nine total scholarships to give in the fall and spring signing periods.  The 2010-11 class features five freshman, two junior college transfers and one NCAA Division 1 transfer.  The Cougars have one more scholarship to give by May 18.

This page entry is a work in progress.  I'll be adding highlights, stats, news and other news on the recruits as time permits.

Joseph Young - Guard, Freshman
Yates High School, Houston, TX
Young originally signed a national letter of intent with Providence but later asked for a release.  Providence refused the release when Young decided to transfer to Houston.  He sat out the 2010-11 season but was able to practice with the team.  He will still have four years of eligibility when he starts play in 2011-12.
