PULLMAN – Ernie Kent has signed his first player from the top high school basketball league in Seattle, inking Cleveland High’s Charles ‘CJ’ Elleby to a National Letter of Intent on Monday.
Elleby, a 6-6, 195-pound forward who’s spent four years in the 3A Metro League, comes off a junior season that saw him average 23 points, 13 rebounds and four assists per game. He’ll join the Cougars in the fall of 2018.
“CJ is an outstanding addition to the Cougar basketball family,” Kent said. “Not only for the accomplishments that he’s had on the floor, but for his accomplishments in the classroom as well.
