The men's basketball team signed Malcolm Canada, a junior college transfer from Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Wednesday, June 19.
Canada originally said he would sign with Tulane University, but was unable to enroll because of academic issues.
Canada is a 6-foot-3 guard, averaging 20.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.6 assists per game last season at Ellsworth Community College. He was also a third-team Junior College Athletic Association All-American.
His signing comes at a good time for the Tigers after transfer point guard Jerome Seagears decided to return to Rutgers after spending less than one month on campus.
Canada is originally from Austin, Texas and will have two years of eligibility left. He will be competing for playing time next season against freshman Tahj Shamsid-Deen.
