BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (BGSUFalcons.com) - Bowling Green State University men's basketball coach Louis Orr has announced the addition of two student-athletes to the Falcon program. Darion Goins and Adrion Graves, both transfers from other NCAA Division-I institutions, are currently enrolled in school at the University, and will sit out the 2008-09 season per NCAA regulations.
"We are pleased that Darion and Adrion have chosen to join the Falcon family," said Orr. "They give us two more guys who can create plays on the wing."
Both Goins and Graves are natives of Cincinnati, Ohio. Orr, assistant coach George Jackson and Falcon redshirt sophomore Chris Knight all hail from Cincinnati as well.
Goins, after sitting out the 2008-09 season, will have two years of eligibility remaining. He spent the last two years at San Jose State University. A 6-3 guard, Goins played in all 30 games as a freshman in 2006-07, making six starts. He averaged 3.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game that winter, scoring a season-high 16 points vs. UC Santa Barbara and matching that total vs. Cal Poly.
As a sophomore in '07-08, Goins played in 19 games off the bench, averaging 0.6 points per game. He played two seasons at North College Hill High School in Cincinnati, helping the team to a 48-2 record during that time. Goins also played one year at Harmony Prep School in 2005-06, with that team going 29-3.
"Darion is a slasher, and a big-time athlete for his size," said Orr. "He is very strong, and he knows how to create plays on the wing and score the ball."
Graves, a 6-4 shooting guard, comes to BGSU from Xavier University in his hometown. Graves, like Goins, will have two seasons of eligibility remaining after sitting out 2008-09.
Graves, a graduate of Hughes Center High School, played in 34 games last season, averaging 8.1 minutes, 1.9 points and 1.0 rebounds per game as the Musketeers set a school record with 30 wins and advanced all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight.
He missed much of his freshman season, 2006-07, due to injury, but averaged 3.2 points and 1.0 boards in 13 games off the bench. This year, he scored a career-high nine points against both American and Detroit.
"Adrion has a chance to be a very good scorer," said Orr. "He is a good passer, can make plays and make shots on his own, and he has a chance to be a very good defender for us as well."
The Falcons welcome back all 10 letterwinners from last season's team, plus one additional student-athlete who lettered for BGSU in previous seasons. Orr and the Falcons posted a 13-17 overall record and a 7-9 Mid-American Conference mark a season ago.
