Ready for July Recruiting Period

As June comes to a close, the busiest summer basketball recruiting period quickly approaches for our Trinity Basketball coaches. Over the next month, our staff will hit the road each week in search of recruitable student-athletes who are great fits for Trinity University. We will see thousands of high school players, hoping to find the right ones that would excel in a highly competitive academic and athletic environment.

Setting an Academic Standard

It ceases to amaze what great student-athletes Trinity University attracts. Recently, the SCAC announced the Spring 2015 Academic Honor Roll and the Trinity Tigers lead the way again with 124 recipients. We would like to acknowledge our five Trinity Basketball honorees:

Matthew Bender, FY - Undecided
Jimmy Clark, SO - Business Finance Major, Global Health Management Major
Matt Jones, FY - Undecided
Matt Selling, SR - Business Finance Major, Sports Management Minor
William Young, SR - Business Accounting Major, Business Finance Major

These young men have maintained the strong academic standard that we strive towards and set a tone for all of our team. We are proud that our team GPA is still above the average male student's GPA here at Trinity, which shows the hard work our student-athletes have put in off the court.

Congrats guys and keep up the good work!
