Kevin Menner finds a home

Out of New York City, 6-foot5, 205, Kevin Menner played a season at Ventura CC before the coach there was canned for various fraudulent activities. Menner was at Saddleback CC this past season. He tripped to Hawaii (which is listed on Rivals as having offered) but now has signed with Cal State Northridge of the Big West Conference.

Northridge won the Big West in 2009 and did go Big Dancin' (losing by just 11 to Memphis State) but the early thinking was that Menner would land in a higher level conference.

His numbers at Saddleback:

33 games
19.3 points per game
7.9 rebounds a contest
50% shooting overall (just 10 three-point attempts)
219 foul shots, made 61%
40 assists, 83 turnovers

What's curious is that Northridge Coach Bob Braswell also recently signed another 6-foot-5, 200 pound junior college transfer who is also a good scorer.
