Glendora, CA - The Citrus College athletic department is proud to announce the recent signings of two men's basketball players to NCAA Division I National Letters of Intent. Sophomore Guard Tron Smith and freshman Forward Daniel Fleming are both headed to the national stage.
Smith (Moreno Valley , CA) has signed with St. Mary's College in Moraga, CA. Through the first eight games this season Smith is averaging 26.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He has broken the 30-point barrier three times and is shooting over 43% from the floor.
In 2003-2004 while at Arizona State , Smith played in 17 games with ten starts as a true freshman. In those games he averaged 3.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. After sitting out the 04-05 season, Smith returned to the court to play at Citrus.
At Canyon Springs HS, Smith averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals per game during his senior season. He was a Second-Team All-State selection and was an All-CIF pick. He was named the MVP of both Riverside County and the Ivy League. He hit 55 three-pointers and shot 42% from three-point range that season. Smith was recruited to ASU after being ranked as the No. 27 incoming freshman by ESPN.com, who picked him as the sixth best shooting guard in the nation.
Fleming (Murrieta , CA) has signed with the University of San Diego . Fleming is averaging just under ten points per game through the first eight games this season and has been a strong force in the post, shooting 65% and hauling in a team-high six rebounds per game. After red shirting last season at UC Riverside, Fleming is making a strong return after having undergone knee surgery. The 6-8, 215lb player has provided the Owls with great play on both ends of the floor.
