JONESBORO,
Ark. (4/11/12) - Arkansas State head men's basketball coach John Brady
announced the signing of junior college transfer Seth Kisler, who will join the
Red Wolves for the 2012-13 season, to a national letter of intent Wednesday.
Kisler,
a 6-9 native of Fort Wayne, Ind., played last season at Paris Junior College
under head coach Chuck Taylor and averaged 7.0 points and 3.6 rebounds per game
for the Dragons. He also shot 50% (58-116) from the floor in 22 games played.
Kisler sustained an ankle injury and missed five games at the end of the
season.
Paris
finished with a 23-7 overall record and a 15-4 mark in conference play
capturing the Region XIV regular season title while advancing to the Region XIV
Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed. The Dragons finished the season ranked
No. 22 in the NJCAA
"Seth
was a part of an outstanding junior college team this past season at Paris,"
said Brady. "He fills a need on our team as a dependable front line player that
can also shoot the ball from the perimeter. He is versatile in his ability to
play inside as well as out. With the core of our team returning and the
addition of 6-7 255-pound Kendrick Washington becoming eligible, Seth is the
perfect compliment to Kendrick and Brandon Peterson."
Kisler
played his freshman season at Huntington University in Indiana after averaging
17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a senior at Blackhawk Christian High
School in Fort Wayne.
The
addition of Kisler pushes ASU's fall recruiting class to four after the Red
Wolves signed Kris Brown, Kelvin Downs and Raeford Worsham during the early
signing period.
