Men’s Hoops Adds Two Community College Transfers
4/28/2010
Brylle Kamen, a 6-foot-7 forward from Western Nebraska Community College, and Calvin Douglas, a 6-foot-3 guard from City College of San Francisco, have signed a National Letter-of-Intent with San Jose State University and will join the men's basketball program. George Nessman, the Spartans' head coach, made the announcement.
The 235-pound native of Paris, France, is coming to San Jose State this fall as a sophomore after playing one season at Western Nebraska Community College where he averaged 8.2 points and 6.9 rebounds a game.
"We welcome Brylle (pronounced Brill) to our team and anticipate that he will be a major contributor to our program for the next three years. Brylle is a mature, thoughtful young man who is also an outstanding student," says the San Jose State head coach. "Brylle plays with a high-energy style. He is a versatile player that can defend a number of positions on the floor. Brylle is a skilled big man who can score inside, but also has the needed skills to be effective away from the basket as well."
Kamen began his American college education at Jacksonville State University in 2008, but did not play basketball.
Douglas was a 51.9 percent field goal shooter and averaged 8.9 points a game in his two seasons at City College of San Francisco. Douglas was fourth among Coast Conference players in field goal shooting as a freshman and 14th as a sophomore.
"Calvin Douglas was an integral part of City College's run to the state community college title game this year. Calvin is a mature young man that brings a competitive toughness and great shooting ability to our program," says Nessman. "Calvin played for a fine coach in Justin LaBaugh at CSSF in a program long known for success. We expect he will make an immediate positive contribution to San Jose State basketball."
San Jose State now has signed five players to a National Letter-of-Intent for the 2010-11 season. Previously, Keith Shamburger, a 5-foot-11 guard from Serra High in Gardena, Calif., Wil Carter, a 6-foot-8 forward from Salt Lake Community College, and 6-foot-2 guard Derek Brown from Chino Hills (Calif.) High signed with the Spartans.
