Prince Adams Picks the Roadrunners
Prince Adams of Evanston Township High School in Evanston, Illinois, has signed his NJCAA Letter of Intent to continue his academic and basketball career in 1st Source Bank Fieldhouse with Coach Rodell Davis and the Roadrunners.
ETHS Head Coach Mike Ellis said, "Our Evanston Township High School Basketball program is thrilled for Prince Adams and his commitment to pursue his academic and athletic journey at Southwestern Michigan College. Prince's elite talents and unique skill set will provide the Roadrunners with a versatile inside player with the ability to also play on the wing.
"He was a 3-year ETHS Varsity Basketball letterman for us, and in his senior campaign, Prince led the Wildkits in scoring (14 ppg), rebounding (11 rpg), blocked shots (3 bpg) and free throws made (95-126, 75%). He also finished second on the team in steals (2 spg) and third on the team in assists (1.9 apg). Prince was a member of the CSL All-Conference team.
"Our entire Evanston community looks forward to Prince joining former ETHS teammate Rashawn Bost at Southwestern Michigan College and following the upcoming Roadrunners basketball season."
SMC Head Coach Davis added, "We are excited to welcome Prince to the Roadrunner family. He is a mobile defender that can guard 1 through 5 and gives us the rim protector that we needed in this recruiting class. He is a long, athletic player that will also help us on the defensive and offensive boards. On the offensive end of the court Prince is an emerging talent. He can dominate in the paint but also step out and make the open 3. His skill set is a great fit for our open court offensive system and he will make us better on that end.
"Prince is a player that Roadrunner Nation will fall in love with quickly. He is a strong physical player that plays hard and will compete every possession."
Adams joins RJ Davis of Glenview, Illinois, in the 2023 recruiting class.
After a 26-year hiatus, the SMC's Men's Basketball Team returned to action in the newly-renovated 1st Source Bank Fieldhouse for the 2022-23 season. In their first year back, with an all-freshman team, the Roadrunners compiled a 15-11 overall record, went 6-6 in the MCCAA Western Conference and qualified for the postseason Great Lakes District A Tournament.
