Generals Sign Star Guard from Seattle Area!



Sheridan College announced the signing of Washington state native Donald Gaddy to a national letter of intent. Gaddy, a 6'0", 165-pound guard from Bellarmine Prep School in Tacoma, WA, averaged 16.5 pgg, 8.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game, while leading his to a 14-9 record as a senior. Donald was honored as a 2-time first-team all-leaguge selection his Junior and Senior years, athlete of the month in Washington, and nominated as a McDonalds All-American.






He will be expected to contribute immediately for the Generals after losing standout guards Matt Glover (signed at Penn State), Omar McDade (signed at Fort Hays State) and Kendrick Morse (signed at Fort Hays State). Donald comes from a family with a great basketball background. His brother, Abdul, was a McDonald's All-American and is currently playing at the University of Washington.






"We're thrilled to get a player of Donald's caliber to help fill our guard position for next year. Our #1 priority in the upcoming class was to find a pass-first point guard that would make his teammates better, and we also wanted to find a guard that had the ability to put tremendous pressure on the ball on the defensive end. Donald fits the mold exactly. He's a very good athlete, has a great feel for the game and for getting his teammates involved, and should be a great defensive player. His main goal, in terms of player improvement, is to improve on his jump shot from the perimeter. If he is able to become a consistent shooter from the perimeter, he has a chance to be a very special player."

Generals sign 6'8" Tate Stensgaard from Rapid City!

Sheridan College Head Men's Basketball coach Steve Smiley announced today the signing of South Dakota native Tate Stensgaard to a national letter of intent.
Stensgaard is a 6'8", 190-pound forward/center from Stevens High School in Rapid City, SD. At Stevens, Tate averaged 13.8ppg and 6.8rpg, leading his team in both categories. His best game this past year came against Sturgis HS when Tate went off for 29 points and 14 rebounds. Stensgaard's honors include being selected second team all Greater Dakota Conference in 2011 as well as being selected to play in the 3rd Annual Northern Hills Senior All-Star Basketball Game. He wa also named KOTA News' Athlete of the Week during the 2011 season.

Coach Smiley had this to say about Tate: "We're really excited to sign Tate to a National Letter of Intent to start building our class around him. We felt that Tate was one of the most intriguing prospects in our immediate region, with his size and athleticism and high skill level. We see Tate eventually playing a power forward position for us. He's very skilled from the perimeter, can hit the open jump shot, and also is effective inside with his footwork and touch around the rim. Tate's biggest challenge early on will be to develop his physical strength and put on more mass, but we're confident that he can be a contributor to our team in the near future."
