Montana State became more athletic inside and outside Wednesday, signing a pair of forwards to National Letters-of-Intent, Bobcat coach Brad Huse announced.
Cameron Henderson, a 6-6 forward from Connors State (Okla.) College averaged 11 points and five rebounds a game as a sophomore last season, shooting 50.2% from the field. He scored 10 points a game as a freshman, when he also averaged six rebounds a contest.
"Cameron is an agile low post player who brings a physical presence to our program," Huse said. "He gives us a lot of toughness and physicality at his (power forward) position. He's a mature kid who has shown a lot of leadership. I have now doubt he'll have a positive impact on and off the court for us."
Henderson played in a JC Top 120 All-Star Game prior to his sophomore season, and earned all-conference and all-region honors for his efforts this year. "Cameron is a strong inside player who runs the floor well," said Connors State coach Bill Muse. "He plays extremely hard. He can defend and rebound, and has some great off-the-court qualities. He was a team captain and a leader for us, and he really helps out in a lot of ways off the court."
Austin Brown, a 6-4 forward from Flower Mound, Tex., averaged 17.2 points and 8.6 rebounds as a senior at Lewisville High School. He chipped in 3.8 assists a game, as well. He earned District MVP honors, and was chosen for a pair of Texas all-star games in the coming months.
"Austin is a talented, athletic player, a versatile, lengthy wing," Huse said. "He's a solid three-point shooter, but he can really finish around the basket, and his athleticism gives us a different dimension, even as a freshman. He improves our roster athletically, and we're adding a great person, as well."
Lewisville coach Henry Thomas cited Brown's work ethic and athletic ability as positive indicators in translating to Division I success. "Austin is a top-notch kid," Thomas said. "He's known for turning games around with his spectacular dunks. We have so many highlights of him dunking it's ridiculous. His ability to guard anybody, from a 5-11 or 6-0 point guard to a 6-7 or 6-8 post player, is really a positive, and his work ethic will take him to a different level. He's a very hard-working player. I think Montana State is getting one of the best players in Texas right now."
Huse indicated the Bobcats will likely make more additions to the program in the coming weeks.
