Troy basketball coach Scott Cross added another shooting star to his recruiting class when the anticipated paperwork of Antwan Burnett, a 6-6 wing from Sidney Lanier of Montgomery, arrived on Thursday.
Burnett, who committed last weekend, averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds and three assists for the Poets this past season.
An explosive scorer, Burnett led Alabama during a 118-97 win in the Alabama-Mississippi all-star game in mid-March with 25 points and 10 rebounds in earning Most Valuable Player honors. During the game, he was 11-of-19 shooting from the floor, which included a pair of made 3-pointers.
“We are extremely excited to sign another great basketball player out of our own backyard in Montgomery,” Cross was quoted in a Troy media release.
