The 6-foot-8, 220-pound North Carolina native averaged 19.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 55 percent. He will have two years of eligibility beginning in 2015-16. “Deshawn chose Rutgers because of the opportunity to play and contribute to day one,” Hutch assistant Jay Cyriac told SNY.tv. “[Assistant coach] Greg Vetrone lived up to his reputation as a tenacious recruiter and was relentless. “Deshawn was also impressed by Coach Eddie Jordan’s resume and his commitment to his alma mater. Deshawn is a hybrid four man who brings many talents to the table. His knack to score around the basket and rebound is a skill that will be evident from day 1. He is a very coachable kid and led Hutch to the Region Tournament dominating it. That is the reason why he was MVP of the tourney. He led Hutch to the Elite 8 in the NJCAA tournament.”I just committed to play ball at Rutgers. ?????
