University of Regina men’s basketball head coach
James Hillis announced Friday that 6’5” Campbell Collegiate forward Matt Campbell has committed to the Cougars.
Campbell helped the Tartans finish second in the 5A city championships this season and was part of his school’s city and provincial championships in 2009. He has played for Team Saskatchewan for the past four years, participating in the 2009 Canada Summer Games, the 2007 Western Canada Summer Games, and the under-15 and under-17 national championships.
“Matt is a guy that’s willing to play a physical game down low,” Hillis said. “He’s got size, he’s a great student, and he’ll be a nice addition for the program.”
Campbell, who played with current U of R forward Connor Burns with the Tartans, is the second member of Hillis’s 2010 recruiting class.
