“This is best group of early signees that we have ever had at UNC Asheville,” commented Biedenbach. “We are going to graduate our starting backcourt this year in K.J. Garland and Bryan Smithson, and we addressed that with three of the guards we signed.
“We also graduate Vincent James and Garrett Moles in the frontcourt and believe we have made some strides to replace them with the two forwards we signed,” added Biedenbach. “We're very excited about this class and believe all of them will be key players for us in the future.”
Dickey plays at Hewitt-Trussville HS in
“Matt Dickey has gained a lot of experience in the past few years with his high school and AAU teams,” explained Biedenbach. “He is a true combination guard who is a good handler with the ball and can score. Matt is the kind of guard we like to have in our program.”
“Quinard is an under-sized forward who really knows how to play game,” stated Biedenbach. “He is a smart player with great instincts. Quinard will really help our team basketball IQ next season.”
Primm is currently at
“John Primm is a true leader on and off the court,” declared Biedenbach. “He was a quarterback for his football team in the fall and is now a quarterback for his basketball team. John is a great shooter, as well.”
Stephenson is at Charlotte HS in
“Chris Stephenson is the most athletic and high profile player we've recruited in a long time,” said Biedenbach. “He is a versatile player who can play as a guard or forward. Chris has guard-shooting ability and great post moves like a forward. He also rebounds very well.”
Turner is at
“Terrence is an athletic forward who will really help our transition game,” pointed out Biedenbach. “He's a tremendous athlete who is going to add to our full-court game when he's playing.”
