Ziare Wells signs with Men's Basketball
HICKORY, NC - Transfer Ziare Wells has signed to play basketball at Lenoir-Rhyne, as announced by head coach Brent Owen on Tuesday. "Ziare is an athletic wing with really good length at 6'6" who will be able to defend anyone. He can knock down a three or dunk on you in transition," said Owen. "He has a great skillset for his size, and even played point guard at times for his junior college program. What impressed me throughout the recruiting process was that he was not as concerned with himself as he was with our team's ability to win. Ziare wants to win above all else, and that will be great for our culture."
