Tyner’s Trey Suttles (34) fights for possession of the ball in this file photo.Tyner’s Trey Suttles signed scholarship papers Wednesday to rejoin former Rams teammate Travis Jones at Cleveland State Community College.
Suttles, a second-team Best of Preps player, averaged about 13 points and 10 rebounds a game as a post player this past season, when he missed 10 games with an injury.
At 6-foot-3, Suttles “might be considered a little undersized for the college level,” Cleveland State coach Lee Cigliano acknowledged, “but he has pretty good weight and good strength, and he knows how to seal and has a nose for the ball when it comes off the rim at both ends of the floor. He has a good feel for the basket and a nice touch inside.
“From watching him the past two years, he has a good understanding of the game and of what needs to be done offensively and defensively, and I think having him back with Travis will be a benefit for both of them and for us.”
Jones was an all-conference guard for the Cougars.
