Rakim Brown, a stat-stuffing 6-
foot-6 forward from Central High
School in Fresno, Calif., has signed
a letter of intent to attend Eastern
Washington University and play
for the Eagles, head coach Kirk
Earlywine has announced.
Brown led Central in points
(20.2), rebounds (7.3), steals (3.5)
and blocks (3.1) this past season to
lead the Grizzlies to a 21-5 record.
Nicknamed “Rocky,†he was a
two-time selection on the Fresno
Bee All-Star Team as he helped
lead his team to the Tri-River Athletic
Conference title in 2009-10.
“I am extremely happy that
Rocky has decided to join us here
at EWU,†Earlywine said. “The
addition of Rocky continues the
rebuilding of our front line with
another athletic player with length
who can play and defend multiple
positions. He has a terrific motor,
an aggressive personality, and the
ability to score from the arc, in the
paint, and at the free throw line.â€
Brown is one of five new players
signed by Earlywine and his
staff since last fall. They include
Geoffrey Allen, Jaylen Henry,
Carter Warnock, as well as L.A.
Southwest Junior College transfer
Tremayne Johnson, who has been
attending school at EWU since
January.
