Corn’s basketball Lions ink 6-foot-4 guard

Jeremy McCadney, a 6-foot-4 and 195-pound guard, has signed a national letter-of-intent to play basketball at Missouri Southern State University, head coach Robert Corn announced today.

“We’re excited to have Jeremy as part of our program,” Corn said. “He’s a versatile player that can play several different positions for us. He’s an outstanding athlete and we feel he will definitely have the potential to be a strong contributor for us next year.”

McCadney, a native of Union City, Tenn., was a two-year starter at Shawnee Community College in Ulin, Ill. He averaged 13.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game as a sophomore. He led the Saints in rebounding and blocked shots and was named the squad’s best defender.

McCadney prepped at Union City (Tenn.) High School, where he was a three-year starter as a small forward/power forward. He led the Tornado in field goal percentage, rebounding and blocked shots all three years.

McCadney was also an all-state track & field performer in high school, as he was state runner-up in both the long jump and triple jump.

The son of Rev. Albert and Doretha McCadney, he plans to study accounting at Missouri Southern.

McCadney is the third signing of the year for the Missouri Southern State University men’s basketball program. He joins guards Tyler Ryerson (Willard, Mo.) and Quentin Edwards (Peoria, Ill.) in the 2004 recruiting class. Ryerson signed during the November early-signing period and Edwards inked with the Lions last month.
