Christian Bowen-Webb (Atchison, Kan.), Micah Garrett (Portland, Ore.), and GD Deng (Des Moines, Iowa) signed their letters of intent and will be Golden Eagles next season.

“I am excited to add Christian, Micah, and GD to our roster,” said Coach Brian Beamish. They each bring something different to the table, and I am excited for them to come in and work hard.”

The sharpshooter averaged 5.1 points per game and shot 42.1 percent from the three-point range. Bowen-Webb played in 35 games on the season and was also an 84.2 percent free throw shooter. 85 percent of his field goal attempts last season were from behind the arc. Bowen-Webb was a two-time High School State Champion and was named to the 4A First Team All-State team.

Micah Garrett (Jr., G, Portland, Ore.)
Garrett averaged 17.9 PPG on the season at Lane Community College and shot 42 percent from long range. Garrett had nine games a year ago scoring over 20 points and had 11 games where he made more than three shots from long range.
